(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) It has changed completely in August. The fastball restraint that did not rise so rose. Did you have confidence? The control also survives. In the second half of the year, Samsung stood as a reliable ‘winning card’. Kim Jae -yun (35) is a story.
Samsung, which has sinked in five consecutive defeats, has recently risen the mood again. In addition to the winning series with 2 wins and 1 draw in three consecutive games last weekend, NC and three weeks are also winning series. Thanks to this, it is not pushed out of the mid -range, which is the moment to fight until the end.
Of course, as with most mid -range teams now, there is no anxiety. It is not an exaggeration to say that Samsung is holding ankle throughout the season. Samsung’s average ERA is in the second half of this season. It is in the lowest level. In the second half, the average ERA soared to five points. At the same time, the number of people who endured well is also shaken.
Still, it is not a dark situation without any hope. It’s difficult, but there’s a positive part in it. Kim Jae -yoon’s rebound. In the first start of the season, he wrote a multi -inning save and announced a good start. But afterwards, he shaken and showed ups and downs.
Most of all, it was painful to have a quick restraint. Kim Jae -yun’s fastball average restraint at the beginning of the season was in the early 140 km / h. There were many cases where the ball was not supported. In particular, in the crisis of scoring in March -May, the long -term allowable rate soared to 0.850.
Still, the redemption rose little by little over the season. I saw a vague hope. In August, it seems to explode properly. In August, Kim Jae -yun’s average fast -pusan restraint forms a 140 km / h second and second opposition. On the 8th, the average fast speed restraint was 148.5 km / h.
Kim Jae -yun’s August performance was 1 loss and an average ERA of 1.08 until Changwon NC on the 20th. As the day gets hotter, many teams are wandering around. In the meantime, Kim Jae -yun is showing the opposite. It is a good news for Samsung, which has no ‘believers to’ in the bullpen.
Baseball is called ‘pitcher play’. If the mound is not stable, the autumn baseball competition will be difficult. This is why Samsung, which is shaken by the bullpen, is struggling this season. At this time, Kim Jae -yun is looking for a good time. There are only 30 games left in the regular season. Thanks to this, Samsung can work. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
