KIA Tigers foreign pitcher James Nail collapsed sharply after the first pitch of the "frightening miscues." The miscues toward Doosan Yang Eui-ji were the trigger.
Nail started the game against the Doosan Bears in an exhibition game of the 2025 KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium on Sunday. Nail allowed three runs in four innings. The game ended with a score of three to three.카지노사이트
The problem was the fourth inning. Nail managed to score no runs until the third inning. After almost hitting Yang Eui-ji's head in the bottom of the fourth inning, there was a long aftershock.
It fell out of the 149-kilometer sinker that he threw to Yang Eui-ji, the first batter. It flew towards Yang's face.
Yang Eui-ji avoided by tilting her upper body back with lightning-like reflexes. In the process, she had no choice but to fall.
As it was an exhibition game, there was no threat. Nails seemed surprised, too. He came to the batter's box in person, took off his hat and apologized.
Yang Eui-ji also made a body motion saying it was okay.
It seems that the nail was not okay. The nail happened to be out of control since then.
He walked Yang Eui-ji. He allowed Cave to hit right-handed. Kang Seung-ho had a triple to right-center with runners on the first and second bases with no outs. Yang Seok-hwan was subsequently sent off with a pitch that hit his body.
With runners on the first and third bases with no outs, Oh again hit a timely hit. He lost his three-point lead in an instant. The score tied 3-3.
Afterwards, Nail struck out Kim In-tae and returned. He stopped Park Joon-young with a fly ball to center field and Jeong Su-bin with a ground ball to third base.
KIA has already selected its starting pitcher for the opening game. "He has a lot of experience and he pitched in the first round of the Korean Series. Since I threw in so many big games, I decided that nail is better than an aller," KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said.
I feel uncomfortable because my nails are shaking like this against Doosan, which was actually the final rehearsal.
As coach Lee Bum-ho said, Nail is a "big game feature." He proved himself in the 2024 Korean Series. He recorded an earned run average of 2.53 with one win and no loss in 10 ⅔ innings in two games.
However, since it was an exhibition game on this day, there is a possibility that Nail may have lifted the "cold warrior mode." In an exhibition game, the process comes first before the result and, above all, the first thing to do is not to get hurt. Since he almost injured his opponent's flagship batter, it is understandable that he loses concentration.
