Forget the three -way steals. Lotte Gambo, KBO June MVP award
Lotte Giants’ new foreign pitcher Alec Gamboa, 28, was selected as the best player of the KBO League monthly player (MVP).
The Korea Baseball Commission (KBO) said in a press release on the 8th, “The KIA has a total of 55.09 points with 30 votes (85.7%) out of 35 reporters votes and 10,5152 votes (24.5%) out of 42,9664 votes. “I beat Tigers Jeon Sang -hyun.” Lotte athletes have been awarded monthly MVP awards for more than two years since the April 2023 season, and foreign pitchers who joined the season are the second year after Katie (KT) William Kuevas in August 2023.
The left -handed pitcher, Supervora, joined Lotte in May instead of Charlie Barnes, who was injured in a shoulder. In the first round of the league (May 27, Samsung Lions), he struggled with triple steals because of his backing pitching habit, but from June, he scored an average of 1.72 with a five -win -winning ERA for a month. In five backs, he has achieved four quality starts (starting six innings and more than three earnings). Lotte was able to rise as Gamboa became a team ace. Gamboa has been winning six consecutive wins in July as he became a six -inning win -win pitcher in his first start (LG Twins on the 2nd). The season’s score is 6 wins and 1 loss 2.11.
The MVP, which was selected as the MVP in June, will receive a prize of 3 million won and trophies.
