"Yesterday (Anderson) threw well, but the game was a bit like that. You have to forget it quickly."

SSG Landers coach Lee Sung-yong painfully reflected on the previous day's upset loss.

Manager Lee Sung-yong, who met at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 11th, said, `Anderson will do well on the fall baseball stage as well.'




He pitched hard against the Changwon NC Dinos the previous day with three runs (two earned) in six innings. He struck out 11 times. In particular, he held eight consecutive strikeouts during Gyeonggi Province.

Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `Anderson has some things to supplement, but he is a player with a lot of strengths. I feel really reassured from the team's point of view."

However, he gave up the third point due to unexpected defensive mistakes. In the eighth inning, when the team was leading 4-3, Noh Kyung-eun, a must-win group, collapsed, leading to a 4-5 come-from-behind loss.




It is also an upsetting point that he is somewhat buried in the impact of Cody Ponce (Hanwha Eagles) despite having an all-time record with 10 disappointing wins.

However, Anderson (225) and Ponce (228) have only three strikeouts. From the head coach's point of view, wouldn't he want to eat at least the Samjin King title.

Director Lee Soo-yong had a different opinion. He said "If there's a desire to get more strikeouts, I'd like you to eat more innings."




This season, Anderson has played 155 ⅓ in 27 games. There are also 15 quality starts (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs), which is a little far from Furado (20), Nail Weiss (19), Ponce (18).

There were many cases of going down during the sixth inning of the game. It is because SSG's bullpen is strong, but in the end, it does not show that much stability as a starting pitcher. He is certainly not a player who eats six basic innings and, in some cases, seven to eight innings. In particular, the decisive quality difference with Ponce is an inning after all.

"If you want to become an A+-level player from A-level, wouldn't it be an upgrade if you played the role of an inning player?" I don't think he's thinking much about striking out. It's greed from the manager's point of view, but he's doing well enough now, so I hope he can eat a little more innings."
