LG Twins' new foreign pitcher Anders Tolhurst will finally take off his veil. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to show his first-line pitching in autumn baseball.

Tolhurst will start against KT Wiz in the 2025 KBO League at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 12th.

LG made a big decision and replaced Eliaser Hernandez. Hernandez can also be used as a relief pitcher in the short term, but he made the decision to throw a more certain game.




Therefore, Tolhurst has a heavy shoulder. It is a pitcher that LG brought to aim for the postseason. You can never be satisfied enough to rotate the rotation in moderation. In that case, it may be better to use Hernandez in the bullpen, who played in all five semi-playoff games last year and had a 0.00 ERA.

LG spent a total of 370,000 pounds (about 514 million won). The annual salary of 270,000 dollars (about 375 million won) is 100,000 dollars (about 138 million won).

Tolhurst is a U.S. national right-hander. He was named by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019. He recorded an ERA of 4.67 in 71 ⅓ innings in 16 games (14 starts) in Triple-A this year.




Tolhurst walked 31 and struck out 60 in 71 ⅓ innings.

LG's other foreign pitcher, Yoni Chirinos, allowed 37 walks and 92 strikeouts in 110 ⅔ innings in Triple-A in 2024. Chirinos has 31 walks and 107 strikeouts in 130 ⅔ innings in the KBO League this year.

Tolhurst is also expected to reduce walks and increase strikeouts if he adjusts well.

The key is restraint. It is not a pitcher with a high proportion of breaking balls. How strongly the fastball hits the strike zone is expected to determine the power of Tolhurst.

Tolhurst uses more than 70% of the fastball series. According to statistics site FanGraphs, Tolhurst threw 27.9% of cut fastballs, 23.9% of four-seam fastballs, and 18.6% of sinkers (two-seam fastballs) in Triple-A this year. In addition, about 30% of the curve change-up slider is mixed in a similar proportion.

In particular, the average confinement of sinkers was 94 miles (about 151 km). Even in the KBO League, if he can consistently throw more than 150 kilometers of modified fastballs, he is expected to play a special role.
