The KIA Tigers in professional baseball are full of expectations for a one-two punch for foreign pitchers such as "fireballers."메이저사이트
KIA is holding its spring camp in Irvine, California. Foreign pitchers James Nail and Adam Oler held their first bullpen session at the Irvine Great Park Baseball Complex on Wednesday.
Nail led Kia to an overall championship by playing in 26 games (149 ⅓ innings) with 12 wins, five losses and an earned run average of 2.36. Nail renewed her contract for a total of 1.8 million U.S. dollars (down payment of 400,000 dollars, annual salary of 1.2 million dollars, and option of 200,000 dollars). As a new foreign pitcher this year, she signed a contract of 1 million dollars (down payment of 200,000 dollars, annual salary of 600,000 dollars, and option of 200,000 dollars).
Last year, Kia played full-time only nail polish, and four foreign pitchers passed by briefly. Wil Crowe left due to injury, and even hired Cam Aldred, Erik Stoute (injury substitute), and Erik Lauer. Kia expects Aller, who has a lot of experience as a starting pitcher in the big leagues, to be paired with Nail and serve as a fastball pitcher.
Aller is a right-handed pitcher with a height of 193 centimeters and a weight of 102 kilograms. During the three seasons from 2022 to 2024, he recorded five wins, 13 losses and one hold with an ERA of 6.54 in 36 games (23 starts) in the Major League, and 41 wins, 28 losses and two holds with an ERA of 4.57 in 148 games (93 starts) in the Minor League.
Last year, he started eight games for the Miami Marlins, recording two wins, four losses and an ERA of 5.31. In 18 games (nine starts), he pitched for Triple-A, recording four wins, one loss and two holds with an ERA of 5.30.
In his first bullpen session, Aller threw 20 pitches including four core fastballs, cutters, changeups, curves, sliders, and slobs. Four core's maximum speed was 145 kilometers per hour.
"Today, I threw lightly about 75%. I still have a lot of time, so I'm going to take it step by step," Oler said. "I'm in good physical condition right now." In particular, regarding the KBO official ball, he said, "It feels a little smaller than the MLB official ball, but I'm very satisfied because it fits well with my hand size. I think it will be an advantage in using various breaking balls," he said.
In the Major League last year, Aller posted an average fastball speed of 93.7 miles (10.8 kilometers) and maximum speed of 155 kilometers. He threw slobs (25.8 percent), curves (14.9 percent), changeups (7.0 percent), and sliders (0.8 percent). He has good strikeouts due to his fastballs and wide-angle breaking balls.
Nail pitched a total of 29 bullpen sessions. She checked a total of five pitches including four-seam, two-seam, sweeper, change-up and cutter. The maximum speed of her fastball was 147 kilometers.
"I had a good rest during the off-season with my family, and I prepared for spring camp by exercising whenever I had time. It was my first bullpen session today, so I focused on command rather than restrictions, and I am satisfied with the result. I want to prepare well and take the mound at Champions Field as soon as possible," Nail said.
