"I've come to admire your nails."
Kim Do-young (21), a star player of the KIA Tigers, made such a comment. The grand prize winner is James Nail (32), the ace player. Kim said this through a "winning commentary" that was released on the club's YouTube channel "Gyattiv" at the end of last month while watching Nail take the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning of Game 4 of the Korean Series. 스포츠토토
As it was already known, Nail told pitching coach Chung Jae-hoon that it was difficult for him to take the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning. He pitched only with his full strength until the fifth inning, almost excluding the control of the team's slow speed. However, Lee Bum-ho and his coach Chung Jae-hoon also asked them to deal with one or two more hitters, even though they were aware of this. It was to ensure smooth operation of the bullpen. Then he accepted Nail, and the result was a happy ending.
Kim Do-young was impressed by the unique way foreign players play against teams and brought up the word "respect." What is interesting is that bullpen pitcher Kwak Do-gyu also looked up to Nail's first pitch and said, "I respect her." Although he did not kiss her in advance, everyone at Kia knew it. He expressed his sincere feelings toward Kia Tigers.
Nail completely broke her jaw when Matt Davidson hit the ball against the Changwon NC Dinos on Aug. 24. It was such a huge injury that I was worried about my life as a human being beyond the season out. Nail, who returned like a miracle, was somehow only looking at KIA's Korean Series. Nail also knew the enthusiasm of the club and its teammates at the time of the injury.
In other words, KIA and Nail were preoccupied. Nail will be accompanied by KIA again this year with the highest treatment of $1.8 million. This year, Nail is preparing for a true full-time season. In fact, Nail has somewhat struggled since June, when the temperature went up compared to the beginning of the season. The trajectory of the main weapon sweeper and fighting spirit was read by hitters, resulting in quite a few foul cuts. The ERA from June to July was 4.40, 433.
He is so smart. He showed off his ability to manage games to minimize massive losses. In August, he recorded 0.70 in five games again. However, he does not tend to overwhelmingly erase long innings. He played 13 quality starts and 149.1 innings in 26 games. He proved his competitiveness as well as good pitching in the first and fourth games of the Korean Series, but he was recharged with plenty of rest after his injury.
Therefore, it is safe to say that the real competitiveness of nails is the result of playing full-time until September without injury. Nails also identified KBO league hitters to some extent, and hitters from nine teams also know and prepare nails. With more and more pitchers in the league who use fighting spirit and sweeper, it is time for hitters to fight back. We have to see how clever nails are reversely used.
Foreign pitchers' lineup of the 10 teams is stellar this year. Rumors have it that new foreign pitchers from each team are not that serious. Can we prove that Nail is the No. 1 among 19 foreign pitchers? Last year's No. 1 player was Kyle Hart. However, Hart left the KBO League after a year. If Nail proves itself to be the No. 1 player this year, Kia will be able to garner its second consecutive win.
