KIA Tigers’ new foreign pitcher Sean Anderson (29) finished the second appearance of the demonstration game neatly.

Anderson started in the 2023 KBO League demonstration game against the LG Twins held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 20th and gave up 3 hits, 3 walks (1 walk), 1 strikeout and 1 run in 5⅓ innings. The total number of pitches was 67. Anderson, who had 2 hits, 3 walks, 1 strikeout and 2 runs in 3⅔ innings against Gocheok Kiwoom, the first appearance of the demonstration game on the 15th, filled the innings by taking efficient pitches with an aggressive game against LG. He recorded the highest fastball speed of 151km and two-seam 147km, and mixed curve, slider, and changeup.

Anderson, who had been disqualified in the first inning,메이저사이트 gave a walk to Moon Bo-kyung after a one-out in the second inning, and was hit in the middle right by Park Dong-won, and was in a situation with 1 out, 1st and 3rd base. Anderson, who conceded a run in a wild throw, was placed in a 2nd out situation with Seo Kun-chang’s base hit, but Kim Min-seong caught the shortstop’s floating ball and prevented the run.

Anderson, who sent out lead batter Hong Chang-ki with a hit ball in the third inning, finished the inning by handling three batters, and gave a hit to Park Dong-won after two deaths in the fourth inning, but handled the follow-up batter well. In the 5th inning, even after giving up a hit after one death, he came down the mound while treating both batters as criminal hits. Anderson gave the mound to Lee Jun-young after giving a walk to Oh Ji-hwan after one out in the sixth inning.
