Context piece
- Hanwha Eagles pitcher Bruce Zimmermann struggled again after moving from the starting rotation to the bullpen.
- He allowed one hit, one walk and two runs in one-third of an inning against the KT Wiz.
Hanwha Eagles’ new foreign pitcher Bruce Zimmermann has continued to struggle after losing his place in the starting rotation and moving to the bullpen.
In a relief appearance against the KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 2nd, Zimmermann recorded one out while giving up one hit, one walk and two runs. The performance added to a season in which his ERA had climbed into the 14 range, according to the headline.
OSEN’s framing was sharply critical, asking where Hanwha found a foreign player who has failed both as a starter and as a reliever.
