6 innings, 2 home runs, 4 earned runs, and the manager gives him the thumbs up? “Most reliable” Why?
Kim Yoon-ha of the Kiwoom Heroes suffered his sixth loss of the season.
Kim started against the Gwangju KIA on May 5 and pitched six innings. However, he gave up six runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk, including two home runs. Since earning his first win on July 25 against Doosan, he has lost five straight starts. He hasn't gotten a win in seven appearances.
However, Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki gave Kim a thumbs-up for his pitching.
“Yesterday was the most stable of his previous six or seven appearances,” Hong said of Kim's pitching.
Looking at the game, Hong's assessment was not unreasonable. After giving up a leadoff single to Park Chan-ho in the top of the first inning, Kim retired the next three batters in order. He retired the next three batters in order in the second inning, and then faced a double and a walk in the bottom of the third inning. In the fourth, after a leadoff walk, he induced a double play to get out of the inning in three batters. But in the bottom of the fifth, two fielding errors allowed two runs to score, and in the sixth, a three-run blast by Han Jun-soo put their heads down.
“If the two defensive plays in the fifth inning had helped us, we would have gone to the sixth or seventh inning without giving up a run. But we didn't, and as the number of pitches increased, so did the number of runs.” ‘The content was good, and the pitching plan was good because we talked about it directly with the catcher,’ Hong said. “I think I'm accumulating know-how as I play, which is very positive,” he said.
Kim Yoon-ha was selected in the first round of the 2024 rookie draft. Despite being a rookie, he is showing signs of promise as a starter. That's something to be hopeful about for a team that has been struggling with its starting lineup.
