Kirk McCarty (28, SSG Landers) has now become a guarantee check for the SSG mound. If he goes to the mound, he must block 6 innings and block the batting line with the least runs.
McCarty started the 2023 KBO League regular season match against the Doosan Bears held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 28th, and the team won 4-1 with 3 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 8 strikeouts and 1 run in 6 2/3 innings. led the season to two wins.
McCarty, who took the mound in the 5th game of this regular season, has only one sluggish game. In his KBO League debut against the KIA Tigers on the 2nd, he only scored 8 runs. After that, all 4 games left 6 or more innings and 1 earned run or less. He is literally an ace with good pitches guaranteed.
It was the same in Gyeonggi-do on the 28th. McCarty, who threw a fastball and cutter, his main weapon on the day, and produced a large number of hitters, struck out 8 in 6 2/3 innings, the most this season. It was literally a ‘model student’ pitch that produced strikeouts with few walks and hits. The solo gun hit by Jang Seung-hyun in the 5th was the only flaw.카지노사이트
McCarty said after the game, “As a starting pitcher, I always pitch with the goal of throwing long innings rather than worrying too much about the score difference. I think that is my responsibility and role as a starting pitcher.” I’m trying to face it. This is my personal baseball philosophy, and the part that the coach usually emphasizes to the pitcher,” he said. It seems that trying to digest long innings with aggressive pitching leads to positive results.
McCarty said, “I was worried throughout my career because of my tendency to throw a ball that was too perfect after two strikes.”
