Will it be a leading competition variable.

"Alcanta will come out on Tuesday (16th)," Kiwoom Heroes coach Seol Jong-jin said ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 12th.

Alcanrata is playing as Kiwoom's ace this season. Coming to June 1 as Rosenberg's replacement foreign player, he is 7-2 with a 3.35 ERA in 16 games and is at the center of his team's selection.

While he had three wins, no losses and an ERA of 2.41 in six games in August, he became a winning pitcher with two runs in six innings against LG on the 9th.

He also showed good performance against Hanwha. On the 26th of last month, he pitched well against Hanwha with one run in seven innings.

For Hanwha, this is the most burdensome starting pitcher for Kiwoom. Hanwha has 75 wins, three draws and 52 losses, ranking second by 3.5 games behind the LG Twins (79 wins, three draws and 49 losses).

Kiwoom, the lowest-ranked team, is playing a role as a red pepper powder unit with 5 wins and 5 losses in the last 10 games, with its fall baseball elimination confirmed early. In particular, he set fire to the lead fight by winning the Winning Series with 2-1 in three consecutive games against LG at the end of August. As the ace is not coming out of Kiwoom, which has recently won two consecutive games and boosted the atmosphere, Hanwha is relieved of its burden for now.

Acting president Seol said, "(Alkanta) is not sick, but he said he feels tired."I've never taken a break from the starting rotation after coming to Kiwoom." He said he'd like me to make some adjustments. The same goes for the team, and I thought I shouldn't overdo it for no reason. I asked him to match it because there are about three more games left. He said, "I did OK myself."

The game on the 12th was canceled due to rain. Kiwoom announced Ha Young-min, who was previously announced as a starting pitcher, as a starting pitcher on the 13th.

Acting Seol said "Ha Young-min goes and (Ha) Young-min goes to Jung Hyun-woo and Park Jung-hoon."
