Professional baseball SSG Landers’ new foreign pitcher Wilmer Font is unveiled.
Font started as a starter in a practice match against Samsung Lions in the 2021 Spring Camp evaluation match held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 16th, and struggled with no loss in three innings without giving a single hit.
On this day, the font was slightly shaken and allowed three walks, but did not give out one hit, and recorded three strikeouts with a fastball at a maximum speed of 155 km/h.
In particular, the font was thrown by mixing curves, sliders, two-seam, and forkball, and the ratio of fastball and changing ball was 1 to 1.
Font allowed Samsung Park Hae-min to walk at the end of the first inning, but treated Kim Sang-soo as a bottleneck in front of shortstop, and even after walking to Jae-il Oh, Jose Pirella finished with a floating ball at shortstop.
In addition, Font, who struck out Samsung Kim Heon-gon at the end of the second inning, struck out Samsung Kim Heon-gon as a catcher foul fly, and ended the inning with three consecutive strikeouts in the third inning.
Romac also hit a solo home run and a three-point home run, hitting four RBIs on the other line.
However, despite such strong fights and fierce attacks, SSG suffered a regret of losing 5-6 to Samsung.
SSG dedicated 5 points due to a fielder error and pitcher explosive at the end of the 6th inning, 4-1, and Lee Hyun-seok made a solo home run at the beginning of the ninth but could not return the game.
On the other hand, Choo Shin-soo didn’t come directly to the other line that day, but sat on the bench and watched the teammates’ game.
