[LA=스포츠서울 문상열전문기자] Will St. Louis Cardinals Kim Kwang-hyun keep the starting rotation? It’s hard to bet at this time.
On the 9th (Korean time), Kim Kwang-hyun was sluggish with 4 runs in his second appearance in the Grapefruit League at Jupiter Roger Dean Stadium in Florida. 2.1 6 hits in innings, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, and 4 runs. It was a massive goal for two consecutive games. 48 pitches (31 strikes). Their second demonstration match was the Miami Marlins of the East Coast of the National League, who made their way to the playoffs after 17 years last season. The Cardinals and Marlins share Roger Dean Stadium. Miami is an expedition, but it’s like home.
Miami manager Don Mattingley played almost the main game except for second baseman and catcher. It was an order that was not much different from the regular season lineup. Kim Gwang-hyun, the first time he faced, had to gain a relative advantage over the batter, but the situation was different. In the first inning, top hitter Starling Mattei was given a third infield hit, an outcount, and four batters in a row with three hits and one walk. He allowed two RBIs to designated hitter No. 4 Garrett Cooper and struck out Brian Anderson at No. 5 for the first out. When six right fielder Adam Duval was treated as a center fielder fly, St. Louis coach Mike Silt replaced Junior Hernandez with an inning pitcher over. 27 pitches in 0.2 innings (strike 16).
Hernandez, who was replaced, gave two RBIs with superiority to the 7th Isan Diaz, bringing in all of Kim Kwang-hyun’s runners. Kim Gwang-hyun allowed 3 hits and 4 runs in the first inning. He climbed the mound again in the second inning and ended the inning with a third batter by processing top hitter Mattei with center fielder fly and second time Corey Dickerson with a heavy hit, then Jesur Aguila with shortstop double fly. Kim Gwang-hyun, who also reached the mound in the third inning, faced a crisis again with consecutive hits such as a shortstop infield hit by top batter Cooper and a heavy hit by Anderson. However, Duval was replaced by center fielder Fly and Dias as strikeouts and salvation Roel Ramirez. Luckily, Salvation Ramirez walked for a top-base crisis and then caught Chad Wallak with a fly at No. 9 with a second baseman fly, avoiding Kim Gwang-hyun’s additional goal.

Kim Gwang-hyun was replaced by one pitcher over in two grapefruit league matches, and an average ERA of 21.00 with 10 hits and 8 runs (7-character scoring) over a total of 3 innings. Walks 3 and 4 strikeouts. I’m not on the good side. The pitch is also not powerful. The fastest fastball match against Miami measured 145 km (90 miles). Two strikeouts were caught with the main weapon slider. You have to forget all your performances for the past season. It was a short shortened season and the total pitching innings were only 39 innings. It is difficult to judge success with an average ERA of 1.62 in 39 innings. If mass concessions continue in the next game, it may be difficult to join the opening game.
