'Physical strength + 100% power' KIA, Yang Hyun-jong - Nail is 'certain'...The core of KS is Lauer

KIA, which came first to the Korean Series, is waiting leisurely. It has 100 percent physical strength and full capacity. Basically, it has an advantageous position. After all, the most important player is the starting pitcher. James Nail (31) and Yang Hyun-jong (36) should be considered as certain. The key should be Eric Lauer (29).
Lauer is a Wil Crowe replacement. He made his first appearance on Aug. 11. He recorded 34.2 innings, 2-2 with a 4.93 ERA in nine games. He had a good percentage with 37 strikeouts and 12 walks.
August was a little bumpy. It was good and bad. In September, he had one win and an earned run average of 2.76 in three games. He allowed three runs in 6.1 innings, six scoreless innings, and two runs in four innings.
It would be good if Kia showed its performance in September in the Korean Series. As Kia, it is hoped that the Kia Tigers will do so. Only then will it be able to get closer to winning the championship.
Nail and Yang are certain cards. During the regular season, Nail had 12 wins and Yang had 11 wins. Nail actually had a heartbreaking moment during the regular season. She was hit in the face by a pitch. She underwent jaw joint surgery.
Over time, he recovered. After pitching live, he pitched in the warm-up game and played in the actual game. He sprayed 151km/h fastball. At first, I threw it with a mesh in front of me, but later I cleared it. There seems to be no fear of trauma.
Yang is a veteran among the veterans. He pitched in a total of eight postseason games and posted an ERA of 1.61. In the 2017 Korean Series, he garnered one win and one hold, and posted an ERA of 0. He was also named MVP of the series.
Unless something big happens, Nail and Yang Hyun-jong are expected to play in the first and second games of the Korean Series. The order is not yet known. Then Lauer is likely to be the third starter. The fourth starter is expected to be one of Yoon Young-chul, Kim Do-hyun and Hwang Dong-ha.
In the case of Game 3, the first or second starter can come in from Samsung or LG. Here are the three starting pitchers of KIA. It can be quite a formidable starting matchup. 스포츠토토
In the end, Lauer's role is important. First of all, in the warm-up match with Sangmu, he did not look very good with four hits (two homers) and two strikeouts and three runs in two innings. He threw up to 151 kilometers per hour, but the result was a little disappointing.
If we catch Nail-Yang Hyun-jong's pitching match and catch Lauer's playing match, it will win three consecutive games. It could end the Korean Series early. There is no guarantee that it will go its way, but we can draw a picture. KIA's Korean Series "Difficulty" is on Lauer's left arm.
