If a foreign ace plays, the win rate should be high, but the game is particularly difficult.
Hanwha Eagles’ foreign pitcher Felix Peña (33) started against the LG Twins held at Daejeon Baseball Stadium on the 15th and allowed 4 runs (3 earned) in 5 innings. He was replaced in the 6th inning when the team was down 3-4, and the game ended in a rain-cold 7th inning.
They suffered their 10th loss in the 27th game of the season. This is the most losses in the KBO league this season.
In the top of the 5th inning when the score was tied 3-3, he gave up the winning hit with one out. No. 2 Shin Min-jae hit a triple in the rain, and Kim Hyun-soo was sent out to 1st and 3rd base with an automatic intentional 4th pitch. No. 4 Austin Dean caught the changeup thrown by Peña and connected with a timely hit with 1 RBI. It was the sixth hit allowed by Peña that day.
메이저놀이터It would have been difficult to throw in optimal conditions due to the pouring rain. Peña brought the crisis upon himself and was unable to withstand it. However, what was most disappointing was Chae Eun-seong’s defensive mistake.

It wasn’t a difficult ball to catch.
As the team’s most senior fielder and key player, his defensive concentration was disappointing. Even though he is a player who is better at offense than defense, he should not lose his fundamentals. Chae Eun-seong is recording 5 errors this year.
Park Hae-min, who went out due to an error, attempted to steal second and third bases one after another and was successful. Peña, who joined last year during the season, sometimes throws well at the beginning of a game, but then suddenly collapses. In particular, he was shaken sharply when the batter got on base due to a defensive error.
It was the same in the LG game on the 15th. He sent out the next batter, Hong Chang-gi, with a straight walk. He then gave up 1 point with a sacrifice bunt, and hit a timely hit with 1 RBI to Kim Hyun-soo in the 3rd. In an instant, the score was tied 3-3. Chae Eun-seong’s catching error was painful.
