Longtime outfield ace Casey Kelly (34) will make his first start of the second half. After a disappointing first half, can he rebound in the second half?온라인카지노
Kelly will start the first game of the second half against SSG Landers in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on April 21.
It’s a matchup between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams, so interest is high. SSG is also sending out an ace. Homegrown ace Kim Kwang-hyun will start.
Most of all, we’ll be interested to see if Kelly has changed. Kelly, a five-year veteran, has been the ace for the past four years. In his four seasons prior to this one, he went 58-31 with a 2.89 ERA and 555 strikeouts in 114 appearances.
He went 14-12 with a 2.55 ERA in 2019, 15-7 with a 3.32 ERA in 2020, and 13-8 with a 3.15 ERA in 2021. Then, last season, she went 16-4 with a 2.54 ERA.
This year, however, is not the Kelly we’re used to seeing. This season, he hasn’t been the same, going 6-5 with a 4.44 ERA in 18 starts. In 107 1/3 innings, he has allowed 115 hits (6 home runs), 26 walks, 71 strikeouts, and 61 runs (53 earned). He’s had five games of five runs or more, and he’s been up and down.
Nevertheless, manager Yoon Kyung-yeop dismissed the possibility of his release, saying, “This season, Kelly will go all the way.”
Kelly was also in action. After a disappointing first half, Kelly knocked on the coach’s door and asked for a meeting after the final game of the first half against Hanwha was canceled due to rain.
At the time, Yeom said he was waiting for Kelly to meet him for tea. “I wanted to talk to him, but he requested it first,” he said, explaining that he pulled out the data to tell the story he wanted to tell.
Yeom pulls out detailed data to talk about changes in pitching design, pitching patterns, and deciding pitches.
LG is challenging for the big prize this season. To win the Korean Series, they need to finish first in the pennant race.
For that to happen, Kelly’s resurgence is absolutely necessary. And it shows. Kelly has been strong in the postseason in his career, going 3-1 with a 2.23 ERA in six appearances.
After a heart-to-heart with his manager, Kelly is ready for the second half. We can’t wait to see how the second half plays out.
