Professional baseball SSG Landers Drew Anderson (30) achieved double-digit strikeouts in four consecutive games for the second time in KBO League history, but could not smile at the team’s loss.
Anderson started in the ‘2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League’ game against Lotte Giants held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 1st and recorded 6⅓ innings, 3 hits, 3 walks, 10 strikeouts, and 1 run.
Anderson struck out leadoff hitter Yoon Dong-hee in the top of the first inning and caught Ko Seung-min with a fly ball to third base. He gave up a hit to Jeon Jun-woo, but induced a ground ball to second base from Victor Reyes to end the inning. In the second inning, he caught leadoff hitter Na Seung-yeop with a ground ball to third base and struck out Son Ho-young with a swing.
He ended the inning by striking out Park Seung-wook on a swing, despite giving up a hit to Jeong-hoon.
Anderson, who struck out both Yoon Dong-hee and Ko Seung-min on swing in the third inning with one out, struck out Jeon Jun-woo and Reyes on swing in the fourth inning, striking out four consecutive batters. Na Seung-yeop ended the inning by striking out three batters on a grounder to second base. In the fifth inning, he struck out leadoff hitter Son Ho-young on a swing, reaching the 100th strikeout mark of the season. He achieved the KBO League record for the fewest innings with 100 strikeouts, recording 100 strikeouts in just 65 innings. The previous record was 100 strikeouts in 68⅓ innings by Koo Dae-sung (Hanwha) in the Busan Lotte game on April 13, 1996.
Then, Jeong-hoon caught a fly ball to right field, and Anderson gave a walk to Park Seung-wook, but struck out Jo Bo-geun swinging, and got through the inning without any major crisis.
Anderson finished the 6th inning cleanly with three strikeouts.
In the 7th inning, Anderson walked the leadoff batter Reyes. However, he struck out Na Seung-yeop swinging, recording his 4th consecutive game with double-digit strikeouts. Anderson’s 4 consecutive games with double-digit strikeouts is the 2nd in KBO League history and the 2nd most consecutive games. The 1st is Sun Dong-yeol (Haitai), who recorded 5 consecutive double-digit strikeouts from the game against Daejeon Binggrae (now Hanwha) on August 8, 1991 to the game against Incheon Pacific on August 30, 1991.
The joy of achieving a great record was short-lived, as Anderson allowed Lotte to catch up with Son Ho-young’s 1 RBI double with 1 out and a runner on first base. Anderson, who threw 2 balls in the following at-bat by Jeong Hoon, eventually handed the mound over to Noh Kyung-eun and finished his appearance that day. Noh Kyung-eun walked Jeong Hoon, 토토사이트 순위 but Park Seung-wook’s hit was caught by the shortstop, forcing out Jang Du-seong, the pinch runner on first base, and Son Ho-young, the runner on second base, failed to advance to third base and was caught in a rundown, preventing any additional runs from being allowed. However, Anderson’s victory was blown away when Jo Byeong-hyeon allowed the tying run in the 8th inning. SSG ended up losing 2-4, ending their 5-game winning streak.
Anderson, who recorded 98 pitches, shut down Lotte’s batting line with fastballs (63 pitches), curves (18 pitches), cutters (12 pitches), and sliders (5 pitches). In particular, the fastball that reached a top speed of 155 km/h showed tremendous power in the early part of the game. The Lotte batters kept swinging their bats and fell like autumn leaves to Anderson’s heavy high fastball. However, it was regrettable that they could not overcome the crisis in the 7th inning.
