Can the KIA Tigers use reverse drama?

Ironically, the bullpen is the most reliable part of the KIA, which struggles with difficulty due to an unexpected collapse of the starter.

KIA won 4-1 at home against Lotte Giants in Gwangju on July 31. In the first run of the second run, Nidgawa made a three-run homer in the sixth inning.

KIA of the game showed that there is enough chance if she only keeps her head six times. In the first half of the season, the team will be able to overcome three innings in the pen, Kim Yoon-dong, Ji-joon Lim and Yoon Seok-min. 19659003] Among them, Yun Seok-min is the key. Yoon Suk-min scored three saves in the fourth inning in the second half. Yoon Suk Min, who saved the first game in the second half without scoring in the opening round of Samsung Gwangju on 17, defended a two-point (six-four) victory by scoring a pointless goal in a Kwangju KT round. the 20. In Daegu Samsung Electronics, Dae-gu won the match 8-8 tied in the ninth inning.

On the 31st, Lotte simply beat the inning with 3 strikeouts and added another save.

The advantage of Yoon Seok-min is fast. The interval is not too long in situations that quickly overwhelm the drummer. In the second half of the season, he hit a total of 17 batters and scored 58 shots. This means 3.4 shots per drummer. On 27, they played eight batters in two innings and threw only 20 balls. Now Yun Seok – min is coming and may think that it is soon over.

As a starter Lim Kyung-yong began his career, hopes began to appear in the rotation. The two day group climbed up the body and mind, doing a steady pitch like last year and hoping for the second half. The quality start of Lim Kee-young that day was the first record recorded by other pitchers since Yang Hyunjong recorded twice in the second half.

Although KIA had a good pen, he had a bad 5-8 record in the second half because the starter was not stable.

Yoon Sukmin's bullpen has some sense of stability. If the starter finds a sense of stability, it's the second half that can be done enough. Unless the bad news such as injuries are declared.
