"I'm already looking forward to next year because I'm finally getting a foreign player."

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop smiled. I'm looking forward to next year as well as the end of the regular season and the postseason this year, and my mouth got stuck in my ears. It's because of Tolhurst, a foreign pitcher who suddenly rolled over.

LG won 6-5 against Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium on the 30th. He allowed the opponent to chase in the second half, but he was able to win because Tolhurst took the mound as a starter and allowed one run in seven innings. That one point was also a non-visa store. a perfect pitch in a word.




Tolhurst joined Hernandez as a substitute and has won four games. In four games and 25 innings, he gave up only two runs and one earned run. The solo shot hit by Wisdom in the match against the KIA Tigers on the 24th was a fly in the ointment. He has a 0.36 ERA.

The power of the ball emanating from the soft pitching form is great. In the game against Kiwoom, the maximum speed of fastball was 155km. Sliders, cuffs, and splitters are mixed and thrown, but the control, ball control, and game management are all excellent, making it too difficult for batters to cope. In addition, the match against Kiwoom showed off its physical strength that did not fall off even though it threw 102 balls.

Coach Yeom, who met ahead of the match against Kiwoom on the 31st, said "I feel so good to have an innings." It's been three years since I've benefited from foreign pitchers," he said with a smile. Coach Yeom also had a headache due to the Plutko Tae-up incident when he won the 2023 season's integrated championship. Last year, he ambitiously recruited Ence, but it was below expectations.

Coach Yeom said, `I thought there was finally a first starter. I'm looking forward to next year. I'm really grateful to the club. "Honestly, I thought about it. Our bullpen has a lot of numbers, but not many players can definitely stop it. So I thought about turning Hernandez into a bullpen in the postseason. But this replacement is a complete success. Tolhurst's four wins are a tremendous achievement. The club's choice was right. And it is important that we have found a starter who is ready by next season."

Yeom's praise for Tolhurst never ended. Coach Yeom said it's been a year since he threw a splitter. If you increase the level of completion in Korea, you can go to the Major League enough. He shot 155km against Kiwoom, but I think the speed may go up further. The mechanism itself is good. Even if we play next season in full, we will be able to play the season without injury. "When I saw Song Sung-moon, who became the top hitter in the league, overcome with ball power, I thought I could succeed enough."
