Samson, Hanhwa's first pitcher to win 10 wins in the first half

[OSEN=대전, 이상학 기자] In the "10 first-half wins", I defy the record that no foreign Hanhwa has done. The main character is Kevus Samson (27 years old).

Sampson was announced as a starting pitcher for the base and Nexen at Eagles Park, Hanhwa Life on May 11. The last start of the first half. There is a significant record. Sampson, who has won nine wins in the season, will challenge 10 wins today. If Samson becomes a winning pitcher the day, he will write the first story of a pitcher outside of Hanhwa.

There are only 3 foreign pitchers who have won more than 10 wins in the Hanwha group. Cedric Bawers (11 wins) in 2007, Mitch Talbot (10 wins) in 2015 and Alexy Ogando (10 wins) in 2017 achieved a double digit multiplier. However, all 3 throwers had 10 wins last season.

Cedric won 10 wins at Samsung Electronics in Daejeon on August 28, 2007. It was the 23rd starting game. Talbot won 10 wins at Daejeon Nexen on September 26, 2015, the 29th time of the season. Ogando won 10 of his 18th appearances at Samsung Electronics in Daegu on September 12th.

The first three of the 10 winners had 10 wins in August and September, but Sampson had already won nine in July. I have 10 wins in the first half of the first stranger. There were two appearances before the maternity leave this month. It is best to go to maternity leave for more than 10 victories as soon as possible so as not to be bothered by "nursing".

Sampson is the team with the most points in the 18th game with 106 2/3 innings, 9-5 with a 3.88 ERA with 132 strikeouts. The quality start is also the 11th of the team. Especially since June, he won 5 of 6 games and raised his power to 2.70. I did not lose any time in this period and I lost the losing streak of my team three times.

But the opponent is hard. We meet Nexen who showed weakness this year. Sampson, who has played three games against Nexen three times, was sluggish one point and 9.22 ERA without winning. On March 24, he was not able to win in four innings with five points and four innings in seven innings on May 8 and two innings in five innings on June 12. In all three games, it's the home of Goguryeo.

Nexen had three hits in 8 batters, Kim Byung-sung had 3 hits, Park Byeong-ho 5 shots, Lee Taek-kun 2 shots and Chang Young-seok 2 shots. Sampson also had three hits in seven games, but he is not in Group 1 due to a shoulder injury. It's time to see if Samson can cross the Nexen wall and win the top 10 victories in the first half. /[email protected]
