Is this the Cuevas effect?
KT Wiz’s foreign pitcher, Wes Benjamin, is continuing his winning streak. Unfortunately, they are gaining more strength by recording a complete victory against the top team, the LG Twins.바카라사이트
Benjamin started on the 25th in a home game against the LG Twins held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, tied the LG batting line, the No. The team won 4-1 and climbed to 40th place, rising to 5th place. Benjamin became the winning pitcher that day and recorded his 10th win of the season along with his 7th consecutive win.
There was no crisis whatsoever. All three hits and one walk came in different innings, and no LG runner stepped on second base. He pitched so perfectly.
A whopping 4 out of 10 wins were wins against LG. KT had 4 wins and 4 losses against LG, and all those 4 wins were Benjamin’s.
It was Benjamin who showed a lot of anxiety until May. He went 2-2 with a 5.60 earned run average in April, and went 4-1 in May, but his earned run average was not good at 4.26.
Coincidentally, Benjamin’s pitching changed as KT parted ways with Bossulser and recruited William Cuevas. Cuevas made his first appearance on June 17, and since that day, Benjamin has appeared in 5 games, but he is showing a completely different appearance with 4 wins and an undefeated ERA of 1.99.
The reason Benjamin was sluggish was because he tried to throw too well. KT manager Lee Kang-cheol always said, “Benjamin tries to throw too well. He tries to throw perfectly, but rather walks and misfires.” It is possible that he was under great pressure to throw as the first starter.
With Cuevas coming, he seems to have stepped down from his position as an ace and throws casually.
Benjamin tends to follow the luck of scoring. In 18 matches, KT recorded 13 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, with a win rate of 70%. KT scored 118 points in 18 games in which Benjamin appeared, which is 6.6 points per game. KT’s average score this season is 4.6 points, so when Benjamin comes out, he picks about 2 points more. KT scored double digits 8 times this year, 4 of which were when Benjamin was on the mound.
‘Lucky’ Benjamin is now leading KT’s rise by showing his skills from last year. It is Benjamin who became a ‘lucky lump’ again.
