Kim Seon-gi

Kiwoom Heroes right-handed pitcher Kim Seon-gi (32) will once again take the mound as a starting pitcher.

This is because Kim In-beom (24), who was previously the 4th starter, was experiencing a decline in his stamina.

Kiwoom Heroes manager Hong Won-ki announced ahead of the game against KT Wiz at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 17th, “For now, we have decided that Kim Sun-ki will take Kim In-beom’s place in this order.”

Kim In-beom was excluded from the first-team roster the next day after giving up 10 hits (3 home runs) and 8 runs (7 earned runs) in 3 innings in the game against the NC Dinos on the 12th.

This season’s record is 2 wins, 6 losses, and an ERA of 4.26 in 16 games.

Manager Hong explained about Kim In-beom, “He’s good at aggressive pitching and his control is also good, but his breaking balls, sharp control, and pitching power itself are lower than expected compared to the beginning of the season.”

Kim Seon-gi, who started the season as a member of the opening rotation, got his first opportunity to start in about three months since the game against Doosan Bears on April 19 (4 runs in 3 innings).

Kim Sun-ki recorded 2 wins, 1 loss, and an ERA of 4.30 in 5 starts this year, and then recorded an ERA of 6.55 in 16 games in the bullpen.

Meanwhile, Coach Hong said about the situation where they are behind KT with 1 win and 7 losses this season, “The results of most games were probably a difference of one or two points. If the players can develop the power to turn things around and block those close games, the team will become stronger.” 안전놀이터
