Professional baseball Lotte Giants “hairy ace” Dan Strayley (34) played a game that seemed to have recovered his skills after washing away his sluggishness in April. Strayley made his first quality start of the season in his first start in May, taking on batters with his strong, confident offensive fastball.

Strayley appeared as the sixth starting pitcher of the season in the match against the Doosan Bears held at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 9th. In the 5 games he started in April, Strayley recorded 5.41 ERA and 14 earned runs in 2 losses without a win, and did not properly show the appearance of the team’s first starting pitcher.

Strayley found peace of mind by talking with Lotte coach Larry Sutton and pitching coach Bae Young-soo, and devoted himself to training for accurate pitching and recovery of speed.

Strayley played a different pitch in the game that day and led the game stably. From the first inning, Strayley got off to a good start, hitting three batters, Doosan Sue-bin, Lohas, and Kim Jae-hwan. Strayley took the first pitch as a strike with various pitches such as a fastball, curveball, and changeup, and made a stable pitching composition that was advantageous in confrontation with batters.

Strayley also struck out five with a confident fastball and a breaking ball that pierced every corner of the strike zone. In a confrontation with Yang Chan-yeol, the last hitter in the 6th inning, Strayley struck out without wavering even though the ball stuck in the strike zone was judged to be a ball.메이저사이트

In the second inning, Strayley gave Doosan number 6 hitter Heo Gyeong-min a solo shot that went over the left wall slightly, giving up the first run. However, Strayley finished the second inning without conceding an extra run. Strayley gave up an RBI on a sacrifice fly in the 3rd inning and scored the second run.

However, Strayley managed 6 innings by blocking the 4th, 5th and 6th innings without conceding. Strayley recorded the first quality start of the season with 6 innings, 2 runs, 6 hits, 5 strikeouts and 1 home run in the game.
