Kyle Hart, a foreign left-hander of the NC Dinos, has been keeping the mound firmly in this season. He has 10 wins, two losses and a 2.34 143 strikeouts in 131 innings in 21 games. He ranks first in both multiple wins, ERA and strikeouts, and ranks third in innings as well. He has displayed good performance in his first season since his debut in the KBO League. 스포츠토토
Notably, expectations are high that he might succeed Eric Peddy, the NC Dinosaurs who dominated the KBO League last season. Last season, Peddy posted a triple crown with 20 wins and a 2.00209 strikeouts with the sweeper. Of course, it was also Peddy’s who was the MVP of the league and pitcher Golden Glove.
Of course, there is still a game left, and to surpass Pedi’s performance, we need to continue our performance in the rest of the game, but wouldn’t we be able to expect more from the current consistency and sincerity.
At the end of each inning, Hart takes a break from the dugout and always takes notes on the batters he faced and what needs to be supplemented. In addition, none of the 20 games in this season has been replaced before five innings. There are 15 quality starts (less than three earned runs in six innings as a starter), and there are also nine quality starts (less than three earned runs in seven innings as a starter). The quality start is tied for second in quality, and the quality start plus is the lone top. It is the consistency itself.
Even for him, who won the title of monster left-hander, it is clear that he is a difficult hitter to deal with. In his mouth, the name of Samsung Lions captain Koo Ja-wook came out first.
Hearts, whom I recently met, said, “Koo Ja-wook is playing so well against me. Whenever I play against him, I feel like I level up and come in. Of course, Kim Do-young is very good, but I think I always faced a crisis when I played against Koo Ja-wook.”
In 93 games this season, Samsung captain Koo Ja-wook has a batting average of 0.310 111 hits, 20 homers, 74 RBIs, 60 runs and an OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 0.942. He is actively engaged as a central hitter. In this season’s game against Hearts, he had four hits, one homer and two runs from eight times at bat. Among Samsung hitters, Lee Jae-hyun also has a high batting average against Hearts. He has five hits, one homer and one run from 0.5569 times at bat.
Of course, he did not spare any praise for Kim Do-young of the Kia Tigers, who is about to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases as the youngest player in the KBO League. Kim, who is in his third year as an all-time season, has a batting average of 0.351 142 hits, 29 home runs, 82 RBIs, 103 runs and an OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 1.067. He is a strong candidate for MVP in the league. He is also good at batting average of 0.625 with five hits, one homer and two runs against Hearts.
Hart smiled, saying, “Kim has few cold zones in the strike zone. He is good at controlling the ball. When facing Kim, there should be no runners on the base.”
The heartthrob wants to spend the best season with the team, but NC is ranked seventh. It is half a game behind the fifth-ranked SSG Landers and two games behind the fourth-ranked Doosan Bears. It is enough to catch up.
“My personal victory is an honor, but it’s more important that my team ranks fifth or higher,” Hart said. “I always pitch in my best condition whenever I play. I will try my best to throw the ball as much as I can when I have a chance.”
