"The opponent's protest has heated up more." With the appearance of an extraordinary matchmaker, following the Taiwanese league's composure, Korea also?
It's the first time I've seen a first base check. At a critical moment, the opposing team's coach began to shake. But it didn't work. The check that stuck the first baseman continued. The pitcher, who struck out the batter with a swing, roared.
KIA Tigers' new foreign pitcher Mario Sanchez won his debut with a somewhat "shocking" appearance.
In an away game against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th, KIA won 5-1 and swept three consecutive games and won five consecutive games.
Sanchez, who made his debut on the day, is from Venezuela and moved to Taiwan after 10 seasons in the U.S. Minor League, with 8 wins, 1 loss and a 1.44 ERA in 10 games for the Toongi Lions.
Sanchez, who ranked first in multiple wins and ERA in the first half of the Taiwanese league, joined the team on the 7th as a substitute for Medina, who was released, and took the mound as a starter in two days.
It was unfamiliar from the first pitch. Sanchez sprayed the ball while stepping on the first base of the mound. KT hitters were also embarrassed because it was hard to see a pitcher stepping on the end of the pitching board in such an extreme manner.

When Kim Min-hyuk, the first batter in the first inning, got on base with a heavy hit, a more unusual move came out. Sanchez, who exchanged signs with the catcher, suddenly lowered his posture before entering the set position and turned his body toward first base to check the runner. Sanchez did not allow a single steal in the Taiwanese league.
Failed to steal second base
Kim Min-hyuk failed to take much of the lead due to Sanchez's unfamiliar check movement. After one out, Kim Min-hyuk tried to steal second base at Hwang Jae-kyun's at-bat, but failed. Sanchez finished the first inning by striking out Hwang Jae-kyun.
In the second inning, after striking out leadoff hitter Park Byung-ho, Jang Sung-woo struck out swinging. Jang Sung-woo was embarrassed because he couldn't even take a batting posture when Sanchez pitched the first pitch with a double kick. Sanchez persistently played outside and struck out swinging in four pitches. He then handled Lee Ho-yeon with a grounder to second base and finished the inning.

However, just before Sanchez, who neatly organized the third inning with three outs, took the mound in the bottom of the fourth inning, the referees called Sanchez, interpreter, and coach Seo Jae-eung. It was because of Sanchez's double-kicking move. Sanchez, who lifts his left foot at once in the kicking movement, slightly lifted his foot, stopped, and then lifted it again several times. In other words, if you make such a move even when there is no runner, it will be judged as a ball because it will be a fraudulent pitch.
Sanchez's double kick no longer came out after the referee's attention. Nevertheless, Sanchez's powerful pitching continued. After handling Kim Min-hyuk and Kim Sang-soo with consecutive infield grounder in the fourth inning, Hwang Jae-kyun was allowed a double on the left-field line, but Park Byung-ho was struck out swinging to finish the fourth inning without losing a point.
Lee Ho Yeon's solo shot in the bottom of the fifth inning
Sanchez's first run came out in the bottom of the fifth inning. Lee Ho-yeon, who returned from a fractured nose on the same day, hit a 145km fastball that was full toward the body and fired a solo shot over the right fence. It is KT's first and last goal.
Sanchez, who blocked only 70 pitches in five innings, took the mound in the sixth inning as well. After two outs, Kim Sang-soo got on base with a right-handed hit, and Hwang Jae-kyun entered the batter's box. Sanchez's extraordinary check move, coach Lee Kang-chul, did not just move on this time. Coach Lee strongly protested Sanchez's move, but the referee refused to accept Lee's protest.

Sanchez's check continued even after the opposing coach's protest.
an unpredictable checkpoint
The opposing coach's strong appeal is bound to be a burden on the pitcher. However, Sanchez continued to check the first base even after coach Lee's protest and tied Kim Sang-soo tightly. It is a silent demonstration that there is no problem with his check movement. Sanchez, who struck out Hwang Jae-kyun with a swing, took off his hat after roaring as if to show his ease in return for the cheers of the third base crowd. 토토

In response to the situation, Sanchez said in an interview after the game, "I was rather heated by the opponent's protest. So after striking out, such an action came out," he said.
Sanchez, who also took the mound in the seventh inning, allowed a heavy hit to Jang Sung-woo after catching Park Byung-ho with a grounder to second base, and handed the mound to Choi Ji-min during Lee Ho-yeon's at-bat. Sanchez made a remarkable debut with only 88 balls, 5 hits, 4 walks, 10 strikeouts and 1 run in 6⅓ innings. He threw 43 fastballs of up to 147 kilometers, and cooked KT hitters by mixing 20 sliders, 12 cutters, 6 curves, 5 changeups, and 2 two-seam.
The victory fairy who got Sanchez's first win
Na Sung-bum's performance stood out in the batting lineup. KIA, which scored two runs first in the top of the second inning, ran away with one run again with Kim Sun-bin's timely hit in the top of the sixth inning, trailing 2-1. And in the top of the seventh inning, Na Sung-beom fired a wedge two-run shot from KT Park Young-hyun and ran away 5-1. Na Sung-bum's bat exploded for two consecutive days following consecutive at-bats home runs the previous day.

Choi Ji-min and Jeon Sang-hyun, who took the mound after Sanchez, also kept KIA's 5-1 victory by blocking 1⅓3 innings without losing a point, respectively. KIA, which won five consecutive games, advanced to sixth place, beating Kiwoom by one game. It is only one game away from fifth-place NC.
