Now the only thing we can trust is 'Ace' nail. KIA Tigers, who are on the verge of being eliminated from autumn baseball, have started an all-out war by reducing the interval between the appearances of nails.

KIA announced its nails as the starting pitcher for the Samsung Lions match in the 2025 KBO League at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 9th.

In order, it's Lee's turn. However, KIA adjusted its rotation to make even one more game of Nail's appearance.




Nails are in force in September. It starts against Suwon KT on Aug. 29. He took the lead in the 10-1 victory by pitching one run in seven innings. After a four-day break, he came out for the Gwangju SSG match on September 3. He allowed two runs in five innings, but failed to prevent his team's 1-2 defeat. I changed the order this time, but I still took five days off. Instead, the next game will be against LG in Jamsil on the 14th. He will take only four days off and take the mound.

That's why KIA has now hit Bae Soo-jin. Kia ranks eighth with 58 wins, four draws, 64 losses and eight losses as of Tuesday, when 18 games remain in the regular season. It is 3.5 games apart from KT, which ranks fifth in the fall baseball Maginot Line. It has already become quite difficult to turn around, but if you get further behind here, even a faint hope disappears. For KIA, all the remaining games are finals.

Nails are the only hope and the greatest hope. Nail recorded 8-4 with a 2.32 ERA in 159 ⅓ innings in 26 games this season. It's the 19th edition of Quality Start. Seung-woon did not follow, but he is third in innings and second in quality starts.




Even though there are few samples for nails, the results are the best when you take a four-day break.

He has 3 wins and 1 loss with a 2.18 ERA in 9 games during a four-day break in the KBO League. He recorded 12 wins and 7 losses with a 2.30 ERA in 29 games when he took a five-day break. Rather, if you take more than six days off, your runs have increased to 4 wins and 1 loss with a 2.93 ERA in 13 games.

Also, the repeated four-day rest is not awkward for nails. I experienced it when I was in the minor leagues. Looking at the records in 2019, his last season as a full-time starter in the United States, four days off was a routine. In April alone, he took the mound on April 4, 9, 14 and 19.




Meanwhile, Nail was strong with a 1.69 ERA and two wins and one loss in 26 ⅔ innings in four games against Samsung this year.

The starting pitcher for Samsung is Garabito. Garabito will take his first appearance against KIA. He recorded a 2.54 ERA in 11 games, 4 wins, 3 losses and 60 ⅓ innings.
