A fast player or a slow player, he runs if he goes out.

Samsung Lions' new foreign pitcher Garabito is struggling with a fatal weakness. It does not take full advantage of its strong pitching advantage.

Garabito's steal rate stands at 89% (allowed 16 times in 18 attempts). If you run 10 times, it means you live 9 times. It's serious at this point. Because it means to run in a while.




Runners who don't have quick feet can run. This is because there is a fatal Cuse in the pitching form.

The problem is set position. Put your glove down and then up and throw it. The opponent is watching this closely If you run, you have a high probability of success.

Internally, there is also an emergency. I tried to change the set position problem.




But it failed. As I paid attention to the set position, my ball control was disturbed and my ball speed fell. It was a difficult thing to do.

They are in a fierce five-way race that is hard to predict. It is not a situation where a major renovation can be made by excluding it from the entry.

The postseason is a bigger problem. He should take charge of the starting pitcher's mound along with Won Tae-in. Even if he advances to the fall baseball league, he has no time to correct his mistakes. If the maximum is considered to be a third-place advance, they should play a wild card game or play a semi-playoff right away.

Samsung decided to leave it alone for now because it couldn't easily break its old habits. It is judged that it is better to allow stolen bases than to disturb the ball.




Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who met at the scene, shook his head as if he was disappointed by Garabito's set position. Coach Park said, `I've been talking about it for a while, but I'm telling you, but I don't think it's easy to change it"I can't think of that part again, especially when it's a crisis. It's okay when you have time, but when you don't have time, it's the same again, so if you're going to shake your mental or control even if you say that, I'm ordering you to just do what you've been doing and just overwhelm the batter with ball power." Despite the disappointment, director Park Jin-man once again "I think we should do that." I think it's better than shaking my control", implying that there is no way at this point.

Garabito, who made his debut at the end of June as a substitute for Reyes, is 4-3 with a 2.54 ERA in 11 games and 60 ⅓ innings.

Although he boasts more than one pitch per inning with 66 strikeouts, Oketi is pointed out as showing weakness in quick motion when a fast runner gets on base. As a result, the quality start is only three times.

Garabito will make his 12th start against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju Champions Field on the 9th. The opponent is James Nail, the best foreign player. In terms of ball power, he is a pitcher who can face off as the starting pitcher on par with Nail. It is an important game in Samsung's fall baseball game whether the team will be able to overcome the fluctuations of Kia's runners through ball power and give victory to its team.
