KIA Tigers foreign pitcher Adam Oler showed his first quality start plus pitch of the season (more than 7 innings and less than 3 earned runs).먹튀검증
Oler started Game 2 of the season against the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League SSG Landers at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field on the 13th and won his second game of the season by giving up two hits, one strikeout and two runs in seven innings.
On the day, Oller threw 95 pitches, the most fastballs (64 pitches) per game. Slubs (19 pitches), sliders, changeups (five pitches) and curves (2) followed. The maximum speed of fastballs was 154 km/h.
Aller had a good start in the beginning of the game. Following the first inning, Aller blocked three outs in the second inning, expressing his commitment to victory. On top of that, Patrick Wisdom hit a two-run shot at the bottom of the second inning to give Aller strength.
However, Ohler had a double at the top of the third inning with Lee Ji-young, the leadoff batter, and Hyun Won-hoe, the follow-up hitter, gave up an RBI double at the top of the third inning. His batting speed was not fast, but the ball escaped to first baseman Wisdom, leading to a long hit.
After Park Ji-hwan's sacrifice bunt, Oler gave up an RBI sacrifice fly to Jihoon Choi with one out and third base. After walking Jung Joon-jae with two outs, he finished the inning without additional runs as Oh Tae-gon grounded out to third base, but the number of pitches increased as he threw 25 pitches in the top of the third inning alone.
Aller was not swayed anymore. Han Yu-sum's fly ball to left field, Park Sung-han's strikeout to center field, and Ko Myung-joon's fly ball to center field in the top of the fourth inning sealed the inning. Lee Ji-young's grounder to third base, Hyun Won-hoe's fly ball to center field, and Park Ji-hwan struck out.
Aller continued to take the mound even after meeting requirements to become a winning pitcher. Jihoon Choi grounded out to the first base, Jeong Joon-jae grounded out to the third base, and Oh Tae-gon grounded out to the third base to end the top of the sixth inning. In the top of the seventh inning, he gave a fly ball to the center field to leadoff hitter Han Yoo-som, and garnered ground balls to the second and shortstop, respectively, to Park Sung-han and Ko Myung-joon.
In the meantime, the gap between the two teams widened as the batters piled up scores, and KIA, which held the lead until the end, overpowered SSG 11-5 and cut its second consecutive loss.
"Overall, it was a satisfactory game," Oler told reporters after the game. "When I looked at the electronic display in the third or fourth inning, I saw up to 60 pitches. I was a bit nervous then. In particular, I thought I should throw the ball more efficiently because some of the SSG hitters continued to foul and hold on," he said.
"At the beginning of the game, I had a hard time not entering the strike zone as a whole, but I think it was okay because I found a point little by little as I went to the middle of the game," he added.
Regarding the fact that the hit, not the regular hit, led to the loss, he said, "I had to be disappointed because I gave two hits and one walk in one inning, but that was something I couldn't do about because the hit went to the right line," adding, "I have nothing to say because the hit literally worked. SSG hitters held on well and hit."
As he is spending his first season in the KBO League, everything is new, but he is adapting little by little. "The KBO League feels fun and fun," Aller said. "It is also a little more difficult than expected. There are a lot of tricky hitters, and there are a lot of hitters who somehow make fouls at bat and endure them," he said. "On the other hand, I have gained and learned a lot from that. The recent improvement in performance proves that."
