In 2001, Fernando Hernandez (former SK Wyverns)' record was broken for the first time in 24 years.

Although somewhat overshadowed by the halo of Cody Ponce (228 strikeouts, Hanwha Eagles), SSG Landers Anderson is also an ace competing for the top spot in the league.

Before the match against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 10th, Anderson had a total of 214 strikeouts.




Anderson struck out NC leadoff Kim Joo-won at the bottom of the first inning, followed by Do Tae-hoon and Kim Hyung-joon at the bottom of the second inning.

This marks Anderson's first new record in franchise history in 24 years, exceeding Hernandez's 215K in 2001. Once again, he recalled that he was one of the best pitchers in SK-SSG club history.

Hernandez was a compliant foreigner with 14 wins, 13 losses and a 3.89 ERA in 34 games in 2001, when he was 30 years old, taking charge of 233 ⅔ innings. In particular, the aspect of 'Cheolwan', which is difficult to see in modern baseball, stands out.

Anderson is a pitcher who is expected to show impressive performance in fall baseball this year based on his overwhelming pitching. Until the game, he had played 149 ⅓ innings and started 26 games, recording 10-6 losses with a 2.11 ERA. In addition to strikeouts, he ranks second in ERA after Ponce. Seung-woon did not follow the rain somewhat, but in August, SSG added four wins in five games as it soared, filling 10 wins in an instant.

SSG has struggled throughout this season due to the injuries of key hitters such as Choi Jung-Eredia and ace Kim Kwang-hyun's unparalleled slump. The two foreign pitchers Anderson-White also had good pitching, but they lacked physical strength to take charge of seven to eight innings compared to Ponce-Wice.

However, SSG is filling this up by running a bullpen with strong pitching. Oh Hae-ryeo Anderson and White are also not greedy until the seventh inning, and as they are pitching hard in the sixth inning, there is a synergy effect of showing off better ball power.




However, the more he did, the more he tried to clean himself up and run the team `in the right order,' which served as a background for him to come up at the end of the season after holding firm in the middle. Since the beginning of the season, coach Lee Sung-yong has vowed several times, saying, `You'll see in August and September.'

Few baseball experts made SSG a candidate for the fifth round before the season. However, coach Lee Sung-yong's hard work and trust came as a sense of responsibility and motivation for the players.

Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `The chemistry between the coach and the team is so good that we have good results"He made no secret of his pride.
