SSG Landers Drew Anderson started after recovering his condition, but failed to show the overwhelming fastball of the regular season.

Anderson started in Game 3 of the semi-playoff against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 13th and recorded .

Anderson was initially expected to be the starting pitcher for Game 1, but suffered from enteritis in preparation for the series and suffered poor condition. The order of taking the mound was pushed back because he had not been able to pitch for a while, and after starting a normal meal, he was confirmed to take the mound in Game 3 after looking at his condition through bullpen pitching.




But he didn't help Anderson return until the weather. Anderson, who started his first pitch in the bottom of the first inning, was facing Kim Ji-chan, the first batter, and the game was stopped due to a sudden downpour ahead of the fifth pitch. Anderson was back on the mound after about 37 minutes of rain stoppage.

In the first episode, Kim Ji ChanKim Sung-yoon and Koo Ja-wook finished with eight balls, but they were not completely zeroed yet. Anderson, who also had three outs in the second inning, had a fastball of 153-154 kilometers or more during his best condition of less than 150 kilometers. As his best weapon, the league's most powerful fastball, failed to show its strength, his breaking ball hitting rate increased.

Anderson had a hard time in the bottom of the third inning when he was 0-0, catching the leadoff hitter Kim Tae-hoon with a ground ball in front of the second base and giving up a walk due to poor control in the game against Kang Min-ho. Ryu Ji-hyuk then threw a curveball to allow a hit to the right.




With runners piled up, Kim Ji-chan was induced to ground out in front of the pitcher and threw directly to second base to catch the leading runner, but the breaking ball continued.

Last crisis with two outs and runners on first and third. In the match against Kim Sung-yoon, he induced a ground ball in front of the second baseman. However, second baseman Ahn Sang-hyun's throw to first base, conscious of the fast runner, missed back as it became a bad pitch, and not only third baseman Kang Min-ho but also first baseman Kim Ji-chan turned third base and dug home with Samsung's shrewd judgment. It was two runs in an instant.

Anderson also failed to prevent the second baseman from scoring by allowing a double over the center field height in the ensuing match against Koo Ja-wook. Three runs in one inning. Diaz grounded out to third base, but SSG benches replaced the pitcher with Jeon Young-joon ahead of the defense in the bottom of the fourth inning.




"Anderson was not replaced by injury," SSG said of the pitcher's replacement. In other words, Anderson threw a bullpen session based on the judgment that his ball power was not normal.
