Samsung Lions outsider ace David Buchanan (34), who had been beaten early due to neck pain, protects the rotation. Buchanan will make his 23rd start of the season in the 12th game of the season against Hanwha held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 22nd.
Buchanan is 8-6 with a 3.06 ERA in 135⅓ innings in 22 games this season. He is playing responsible innings as a starting pitcher, consistently maintaining the rotation without major injuries.
He is synonymous with consistency enough to digest the fourth most games and innings among starting pitchers.
If you add 2 wins, you will achieve a double-digit multiplier for 4 consecutive years in the KBO. Buchanan, who won 15 wins (15 wins → 16 wins) in a row in the first two years of 2020 and 2021, won only 11 wins last year, but had an earned run average of 3.04, the best of his three years. He is poised to break his career high again with 3.06 this season.
The longer you play in the league, the more disadvantaged the pitcher is, but Buchanan is overcoming himself by adding newness through his constant self-management and effort. In a game without a mound, he is a bad boy with all sorts of mischief when he sees the camera, but when he gets on the mound, he transforms into the most fighting fighter in the world.
Because of his excessive fighting spirit, the number of pitches increases in each game.
After completing 6 reps between 90 and 100 pitches, there is no case of stopping. He goes to the mound in the 7th inning unconditionally. Drying it doesn’t help. He doesn’t care even if he knows that his ERA can go up with runners in charge after he lets out a runner in the 7th inning and is replaced. His conviction that “a starting pitcher who plays once in every 5 games should have more responsibility for starting games.” He has a strong sense that he should contribute even a little to the team rather than individually.
Sometimes I worry too much. I am very worried because my knees often hurt due to chronic gout.
There are a lot of bald spots this month. On the 4th, against LG in Daegu, he showed a fighting spirit, taking responsibility for the 7th episode to the end. He received a salute from his former colleague Park Hae-min. On the 11th, Munhak SSG had a lot of pitches in the beginning, so he threw 127 pitches and finished 6 innings.
In the end, I felt like I was going to get sick.
On the 16th, after a break on the 4th, he complained of neck pain after finishing the second inning against Daegu LG.
He also got on the mound in the third inning and tried to throw it somehow, but pitching coach Kwon Oh-joon pulled him down. He came off the mound undisturbed. Even after he returned to the bench, he was caught getting angry with himself. In the end, the team also lost 3-6, which made it even more depressed.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a shoulder or arm problem.
Testimony, “They said that they sprained while turning their heads to watch the video reading of Moon Bo-kyung’s foul ball hit in the left field in the second inning.”
Fortunately, the symptoms of phlegm quickly improved.
In the last 3 home games against KIA, he showed a unique lively appearance by going in and out of the dugout and playing with the camera. It was also Buchanan who greeted the players who came in after hitting a home run.
As he recovers his normal condition, Buchanan will sortie against Hanwha on the 22nd as scheduled.
Her shoulders and arms have been well rested. He is in normal form after a 5-day break, and he had only 24 pitches 6 days ago.
When Buchanan returns to the mound in perfect shape, he will make two appearances, following the match against Hanwha on the 22nd and the match against Daegu Kiwoom on Sunday, the 27th.
The opponent is a low-ranking team, and the other line is on the rise recently, so for Buchanan, if the condition is good, it can be an easier game than usual. However, it is expected that the variable will be whether he will be able to overcome the physical burden of climbing after another four-day break.토토사이트
