KIA Tigers collapsed again. After the shock of a walk-off grand slam, the team was hit by another jolt as pitcher Lee Eui-ri struggled to find the strike zone.
KIA faced the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 2nd and held a 2-3 deficit in the ninth inning before suffering a walk-off loss. The pitcher on the mound for the final play was Seong Young-tak, but the article portrays Lee as central to the crisis.
Lee, throwing at 158 kilometers per hour, could neither lead KIA to victory nor protect its position. The report questions whether the effect of his study experience in Japan has disappeared, following another game marked by severe control problems.
