Im Gi-yeong
Im Gi-yeong (; born April 16, 1993) is a South Korean professional baseball pitcher currently playing for the Kia Tigers of the KBO League. He is a sidearm pitcher who uses a big changeup as his main weapon and combines fastballs and sliders to compete. The change-up is so good that left-handed opponent POPS, a weakness of sidearm, is not bad, so he is surviving as a starting pitcher. Based on his outstanding control, he shows a high first-ball strike ratio, which leads to an advantageous fight with the batter. Even if he hits a hit or a home run, he can throw a strike on the first pitch to the next batter, which is also an advantage. Fastball speed was in the mid 130 km/h range as a sidearm, showing up to 146 km/h, but it was a record when he briefly raised his octagonal angle during Hanwha's time, and 144 km/h was the maximum speed in KIA after being discharged from the military. The decisive ball as a pitcher is definitely a changeup, coming from the same re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
