It was more than expected, it was a surprise.

It was more than expected, it was a surprise.

The Kia Tigers’ new foreign pitcher, Will Crowe, showed off his fearsome power in his first appearance in an exhibition game. Crowe started the exhibition game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on Nov. 11 and pitched four innings of no-hit ball, striking out four and walking none.

He made his first appearance in Okinawa, Japan, at the second spring training camp last month, throwing two innings of three-hit, four-strikeout ball against the Yakult Swallows, and raised expectations by throwing a perfect game against his first domestic team.

The result was a result, but the content was staggering. He faced 12 batters on the day and didn’t allow a single fly ball. All eight of his balls didn’t make it past the infield, 토토사이트 and he didn’t hit a single boundary. He faced 12 batters and threw four perfect innings on just 40 pitches.

Crowe’s fastball topped out at 154 mph and averaged 152 mph on the day, according to the KBO’s official stats site, Sport2eye. His two-seam fastball also topped out at 152 mph and averaged 151 mph. His arsenal included a curveball, changeup, slider, cutter, and sweeper.

Crowe, who is making his KBO debut this season,

He has been a hot commodity since he joined the organization. He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the American Major Leagues until last year, when he drew comparisons to Eric Pedroia (now of the Chicago White Sox), who won the MVP and Golden Glove in the KBO last year while playing for the NC Dinos, winning 20 wins and 200 strikeouts. He was touted as a pitcher with a powerful fastball and an arsenal of offspeed pitches, including a sweeper that has become a mainstay. From the first pitch of his first exhibition game, he exceeded expectations and proved to be a force to be reckoned with.

Preparing for the regular season.

Hanwha’s batters may have been more focused on learning and adapting to Crowe’s approach this season rather than looking for results against him.

Nevertheless, 파워볼실시간 Crowe’s power seemed to be so potent that it was hard to find a point of attack. It was enough to explain why Kia is one of the favorites to win the title this season.

“The weather was a little cold, but I wanted to utilize all of my pitches and it worked out well for me,” Crowe said in his postgame interview, adding, “My goal is to throw harder than I am right now. My shoulder feels good right now, but when the weather gets a little warmer, I’ll be able to throw a little harder,” he said.
