SSG Landers (CEO Min Kyung-sam) foreign pitcher Eni Romero digested his first bullpen pitching on the 7th (Korean time).
In the spring camp held at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Florida, Romero pitched a total of 30 bullpen pitches, including fastballs, two-seams, sliders, curveballs, and changeups. On this day, pitching was his first bullpen pitching since joining the team, throwing all his pitches and checking his physical condition.
Romero, who finished pitching, said, “Today, I focused on learning how to pitch on the mound. In addition to the fastball, I threw a breaking ball and had a process of feeling the KBO League official ball for the first time with my fingertips.” Romero added, “The KBO league official ball feels similar to the American minor league ball. It feels smaller than the Japanese official ball.” 메이저놀이터
After watching Romero’s pitching, Pitching Coach Cho Woong-chun said, “I haven’t pitched with all my strength yet, but I felt that the fastball and breaking ball had good overall strength and movement. In particular, the pitch is stable and the feel of throwing the ball is excellent. I look forward to it,” he said.
Lastly, Romero said, “I will do well in running and technical training to keep my body healthy during the spring camp. I will also try to prepare and learn about the play style I need to do in Korea.”
Meanwhile, Romero signed a contract with SSG for a total of 1 million dollars in December of last year after going through major league and Japanese professional baseball.
