The LG Twins finally made a decision.

LG decided to break up with foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez, who allowed one run in six innings the previous day, and recruited new foreign pitcher Anders Tolhurst. The terms of the contract are a total of 370,000 dollars, including an annual salary of 270,000 dollars and a transfer fee of 100,000 dollars.

Anders Tolhurst, a U.S. national, was a right-handed pitcher who was named by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019. He pitched in 92 minor league games with a 4.38 ERA in 193 ⅓ innings and a 4.65 ERA in 18 Triple-A games in 25 seasons.




The club said that Anders Tolhurst is a pitcher who throws various pitches and is a right-hander with high-quality ball power and control. "We have been showing good performance with a clear growth in recent years and we expect to adapt quickly to the league and perform the role we want in the team."

Hernandez, who came in the middle of last year's season, will leave in the middle of this year's season.

'Legend' was 'Winning Contractor' brought in on behalf of Casey Kelly. However, it was not easy to throw long innings as a starter, so he changed his position to a bullpen pitcher in the postseason and played a big role in LG's advance to the playoffs by pitching in all five games in the semi-playoff.

He successfully renewed his contract this season and dreamed of a successful leap forward as a starting pitcher, but it was not easy. Hernandez, who showed early ups and downs and was out for six weeks due to a thigh injury, has not been able to show what he expected since returning. Since returning on May 30, he has recorded 2 wins and 2 losses with a 3.64 ERA in 10 games, not so bad on the surface, but only five quality starts.

Difficulties continued this season as the hit rate continued to rise after batting order, which had been pointed out as a weakness since last year.

There was also public opinion about switching to a bullpen like last year, and it seems that LG actually thought about it, but Hernandez reportedly insisted on starting.




Although it has been improving, recording quality starts in three of the last four games, LG decided that it needed a fastball pitcher that fits the recent trend to win, and found a player under the principle of replacing a better pitcher than Hernandez if he came to the market, and now he will try to win with Tolhurst.
