Can a 1-point ERA pitcher be born in 13 years since Ryu Hyun-jin Hanwha in 2010. NC foreign pitcher Eric Pedi 30, who is dominating the KBO League, expressed his desire for a record.
Pedi started Game 10 of the season against Doosan at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 28th and led the team to escape its fifth straight loss with one hit, one walk, six strikeouts and no runs in six innings. With his 11th win 1 loss of the season, Pedi became the sole leader from the joint lead in multiple wins, and lowered his ERA from 1.74 to 1.61, beating Adam Plutko LG and Ahn Woo-jin Kiem to become the sole leader in this category.
Pedi injured his right forearm muscle during training in the middle of this month and had an 11-day recovery period from the 14th to the 24th. Later, he returned from injury against Hanwha in Changwon on the 25th, but after one inning without losing a point, the game was declared a rain-free game, making it difficult to control his condition. But pedi was pedi. He took the mound about three weeks after the match against Changwon SSG on the 9th and showed another perfect pitch with a two-seam of up to 153 kilometers, a cutter under a curve, and a changeup. The ball power was so overwhelming that it was perfect with one out in the fifth inning. 배트맨토토
Pedi, whom I met after the game, said, "The match against Hanwha on the 25th helped a lot in preparing for the game. "It was an opportunity to revive my senses," he said. "I had a little difficulty in the first inning because I haven't pitched for weeks, but at times like this, I played with the idea that trusting me would bring good results." "I'm satisfied that the game went as I wanted," he said with a satisfied smile.
How did Pedi spend his rehabilitation period of about two weeks. He said, "I felt bad because I couldn't go on an away trip with the team, and I couldn't play at home. However, he said, "The more I did, the more serious I was able to come back healthy."
Pedi's season performance is dominated by various pitcher indicators, including 11 wins and 1 loss in 13 games with a 1.61. ERA, 1st place in multiple wins, 2nd place in WHIP 1.00, 95 strikeouts, and 3rd place in batting average .204. He said, "It was my goal and dream to record this much in the first half. In a way, it is possible with the help of Dinos players and employees. "I want to dedicate the honor of the result to the club," he said.
Pedi also expressed his desire for a one-point ERA. The KBO League has not produced a 1-point ERA pitcher for 12 years since Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin 1.82 in 2010. "Keeping the ERA low helps the team," Pedi said. "I want to keep my ERA in the 1-point range, and I have pride and greed for this record," he stressed.
To do so, it is necessary to overcome the checks and power analysis of nine KBO League clubs. "Baseball is a small chess game," said Pedi. If there is an opponent's movement, you can respond to the movement. "I'm playing well without any difficulties," he said with confidence.
