The first real game for a foreign pitcher who entered the country on Wednesday will be the first team. It goes out on Tuesday less than a week ago.

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop broke up with Elijah Hernandez and announced the schedule of newly recruited Anders Tolhurst. When asked about the future schedule of Tolhurst, who had bullpen pitching on the day, ahead of the home game against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 9th, Yeom said, `I'm going out on Tuesday.' That meant not live pitching or a Futures League appearance, but a first-team start. LG will play three consecutive games during the week against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon from the 12th, but it needs to be selected on the 12th (Tuesday) due to rotation. Alternative starter Choi Chae-heung should go out or Tolhuts should take the mound, but manager Yeom confirmed Tolhurst's physical condition in bullpen pitching and confirmed his start on the 12th.

LG officially announced the recruitment of Tolhurst with Hernandez's breakup on the 3rd. He spent a total of 370,000 dollars, including 100,000 dollars in transfer fees and 270,000 dollars in annual salary. He started in the minor leagues this season and recorded a 4.65 ERA in 18 games with 4 wins, 5 losses and 81 ⅓ innings.




Tolhurst, who entered the country on the 6th, held his first bullpen pitching at Jamsil Stadium on the 9th. Main catcher Park Dong-won and Lee Joo-heon took turns wearing masks and receiving the ball from Tolhurst. Behind him, battery coach Park Kyung-wan, who was a catcher 'legend', watched Tolhurst's ball. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also checked while watching his pitching. He threw 29 balls on the day, but he did not check the data such as the speed limit.

Manager Yeom said, `Tollhurst takes the mound on Tuesday. "We will reduce the number of pitches we will pitch," he said. "If we take the mound on Tuesday, we have to go on Sunday as well, and that is after pitching on Tuesday, I will talk to the pitcher about the speed of recovery and decide." You need to check your physical condition" he said. For now, the game against KT on the 12th is definitive, and if Tolhurst plays or is judged to be difficult against SSG Landers in Incheon on the 17th, substitute starter Choi Chae-heung will play.

Manager Yeom said at the time of recruiting Tolhurst, "I know that the average speed is over 150km and fast balls are thrown about 155km." He is a pitcher with good changeups and curves. In particular, in our ABS, curves are essential. He emphasized that he is the right type of pitcher for the KBO league. And there is no need to change when there are only about eight starts left because pitchers who threw in the middle in the U.S. need a build-up to increase the number of pitches. He said, "I've been a starting pitcher in the U.S., so I'm going to replace him."




Tolhurst's last appearance in the U.S. was on July 30 (Korean time). At that time, he threw 75 pitches in five ⅓ innings. He is in a situation where he skipped the start once and takes the mound, so there is no big problem.
