Velazquez started Game 15 between the team and the SSG Landers of the 2025 KBO League at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 13th.
Velazquez allowed five hits, including one home run, and five runs while catching two out-counts. Velazquez was replaced by Lee Min-seok in the top of the first inning with two outs and a runner on second base, trailing 0-5. Seventeen minutes into the game, Velazquez came off the mound.
Velazquez retired with 36 pitches and five runs in ⅔ innings. The season ERA soared from 8.87 to 10.50.
There was no defense help either.
Velazquez got off to a fresh start by striking out leadoff hitter Park Sung-han.
One out later, Herredia got a heavy hit. Velazquez fell on the mound trying to avoid a hit. Velazquez has been shaken since then.
He gave Choi Jeong a walk. The fastball was slightly out of the strike zone and did not receive a response from ABS. With one out and one on the first base, Han Yu-sum gave up a timely hit to the right.
The team also overlapped with absurd defense at first and third bases with one out.
Velazquez induced Ryu Hyo-seung to fly an infield fly ball. First baseman Na Seung-yup went above his head. Na Seung-yeop stared at the ball. Second baseman Ko Seung-min rushed to catch it, but it was not enough. It was a questionable scene why Na Seung-yeop did not follow the ball.

That's where the real throw came out. Velazquez pushed a fastball into the middle high course against Jihoon Choi.
The Jihoon Choi turned the first pitch. He crossed the right fence.
Velazquez then struck out Ko Myung-jin. He seemed to have settled down, but he was hit by a double by Ahn Sang-hyun.
The Lotte bench also did not wait any longer. He changed the pitcher to Lee Min-seok. Velazquez's earned run was only five points as Lee Min-seok blocked Lee Ji-young with a ground ball to second base.
