The KIA Tigers put the replacement card that was last pulled out on the mound.

As the visa issue of left-handed pitcher Thomas Panoni, who signed as a substitute foreign player for Sean Anderson on the 6th, was resolved on the 11th, KIA predicted him as a starter for the home game against the Samsung Lions held at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 12th. On the 11th, the game where Yun Young-chul was scheduled to start was canceled due to rain, but instead of putting off Yun Young-chul for a day, he chose Panoni.카지노사이트

He is not a new pitcher. Panoni joined the KIA as a substitute foreign player for Ronnie Williams in July of last year and recorded an average ERA of 2.72 with 3 wins and 4 losses in 14 games. He achieved quality starts in 8 out of 14 games and was included in the reserve list after the season. Panoni is rather a skilled pitcher who uses a slider (37%) rather than a fastball (34%).

Panoni, who moved to the United States again, signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers and was called up to the major leagues on the 29th of last month after rotating the starting rotation at Triple-A. On the 1st of this month, he pitched in 1 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates and recorded 5 hits, 4 strikeouts, 1 walk and 2 runs in 2⅔ innings, and was designated for transfer. The Triple A season record was 3 wins and 1 loss with an ERA of 2.70 in 11 games (9 starts).

KIA said after the contract, “Panoni has consistently kept the starting rotation in Triple A this season and showed stable pitching, and he has experience in the KBO league, so we expect him to adapt quickly.” Panoni arrived in Korea on the 6th, took a medical test, and applied for a visa. It is the return of the KBO league after 280 days since the LG match on October 5 last year. Samsung came out on August 10 last year and recorded 2 runs in 7 innings.

On the 6th, KIA made a foreign exchange first a few hours before recruiting Panoni. KIA, which announced a waiver of Adonis Medina on the 4th, signed a contract with Mario Sanchez, who played in the Taiwanese league, on the 6th. Sanchez took the mound for the first time against KT Wiz on the 9th, faster than Panoni, and became a winning pitcher with 5 hits, 10 strikeouts and 1 run in 6⅓ innings, cutting the first tape well.

KIA, which jumped from 9th to 6th place with 5 consecutive wins from SSG on the 5th, is currently in good spirits. If you can continue the team’s winning streak from Sanchez to Panoni, you can finish the first half in a good mood and enter the second half. On the 11th, KIA coach Kim Jong-guk said, “All I want from the two pitchers in the second half is innings. I want them to pitch at least 6 innings in each game.”

There are no restrictions on the number of pitches or innings as Panoni recorded 6⅔ innings and 1 run in a Triple A game on the 23rd of last month before being called up to the major leagues. Manager Kim said, “I can throw at least 80 pitches. Before I came, there was no problem because I continued to rotate in the starting rotation at Triple A.”

The addition of experienced catcher Kim Tae-gun, who was recruited through a trade on the 5th, is also good news for Panoni. Regarding Sanchez’ quality start on the 9th, coach Kim said, “There may be some pitches that pitchers are confident in, but they don’t know domestic hitters well. Tae-goon gave a good lead that day.” Panoni is more familiar with KBO league hitters than Sanchez, but Kim Tae-gun is also expected to skillfully lead Panoni.
