LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's patience was limited. In the end, he was determined to replace him.
Ahead of an away game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 22nd, Yeom said, "I think one of the two needs to change," adding, "We are trying to save it somehow because foreigners' one-two punches, which account for 40% of the team's power, are not good, but I think we need to prepare for a replacement for now."
LG is currently sluggish in both foreign pitchers Detrick Ens and Casey Kelly.
Ness is 4-2 with a 5.37 ERA in 10 games, while Kelly is 1-6 with a 5.72 ERA in 10 games.
Both of them have completely changed from the first five games and the next five games.
In the first five games, N.S. had three wins, no losses and an ERA of 3.54, while Kelly was stable with one win and two losses and an ERA of 3.19. However, in the next five games, N.S. has one win and two losses and an ERA of 7.50, while Kelly has four losses and an ERA of 8.77.
N.S. is dealing with KBO hitters by throwing fastballs, cutters, and curves of up to 151 kilometers, and there are ups and downs. He starts quality when he is good, but he is being hit hard when he is not good. Since signing the contract with N.S., Yeom has talked about the need for a change-up as a decisive ball, and N.S. also prepared for the change-up, but the completion was not very good. It is difficult to trust and entrust a situation as the ups and downs of the ball are too severe.
Kelly, a long-lived foreign player in his sixth year in the KBO League, began to suffer from last year as his repertoire was seen. He rebounded in the second half of last year and recorded 10 wins and 7 losses, becoming a winning pitcher in the first round of the Korean Series, and even renewed his contract, but he is having a more difficult season this year. He was offered a forkball in the middle of last year's season and practiced during the season, and seemed to use it as a new determining tool by throwing it in the Korean Series, but the proportion of forkballs this season is not very high.
Yeom plans to continue using the two players for now and make every effort to save them. "It's our job to save them no matter what. Nonetheless, we have to show foreign pitchers with the results," Yeom said. "We also have to prepare ourselves. I asked the club to find one as soon as possible."
One of Ence and Kelly is likely to leave during the season. Of course, if both rebound, there may be no plans to change them.
