Kiwoom’s new pitcher CC Mercedes, 31, made a brilliant debut. From the first hitter to the ABS zone, everything was unfamiliar, and I hoped for the raising.

Kiwoom was defeated 4-6 in the Doosan match held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 9th. Mercedes started the match and showed a stable pitching with two runs in 5.1 innings. He had a winning pitcher at the first test, but he was unfortunately hungry with a bullpen.

Mercedes wore a kiwoom uniform on behalf of Kenny Rosenberg, which was released on the 30th of last month. I just took my first step, but my shoulders were heavy as I stayed at the bottom of the league with 33 wins and 4 draws and 73 losses and 0.311. This is because the start of the bullpen, which has been fired, must hold up as much as possible.

Mercedes, who did not allow one to four times in the first round, had a crisis in the beginning of the fifth round. After walking the lead batter Park Gye -bum, he hit a left -handed hit with Kang Seung -ho. Jung Soo -bin picked up the ground ball on -base, and Lee Yi -chan walked out, and Jake Cave gave her infield hit two runs.

In the sixth, Oh Myung -jin was sent to a heavy hit, and then a blast came out of Park Gye -beom at -bats. In the end, he hit the mound for a hit by Park Gye -bum. The number of pitches is 95, and he has written eight hits and two walks and five strikeouts. Although he was shaken at the end, he made his share and showed his presence.

Above all, Mercedes is a player who has experienced Asian stage as he has entered the league through Japan and Taiwanese professional baseball. How do he evaluate his KBO league debut? “I was on the mound in a so good situation,” he said. “It was a very fun and comfortable game.”

Unfortunately, he missed the pitcher’s pitcher, “Baseball can happen,” he said. “The most important thing is that the team is solving the game together.

Unfamiliar ABS Zone was considered a key. But Mercedes said, “It is right that there was some difference,” he said. “It’s not because of the difference or it doesn’t mean that there is an ABS system.

Unfortunately, it is deeply involved with Doosan Koto Koji, who eats Hanpot rice during Yomiuri. That’s why Mercedes is well understood. “All the teams watched the video of the player before the game,” he said.

Subsequently, there was a difference as soon as they were battered, saying, “The difference is not enough to affect the outcome of the game.” sshong@sportsseoul.com
