More astonishing than 158kph: a 149kph forkball, the monster has arrived. LG's speedy new foreign reliever's debut game, Jamsil erupts.

The LG Twins have welcomed a new foreign pitcher, Axel Rios, who has immediately made a significant impact. Rios was registered to the first team and debuted in a crucial game against SSG Landers on June 10 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

From his very first pitches, Rios demonstrated exceptional velocity, with his fastball reportedly clocked at an impressive 158 kph (approximately 98 mph). This powerful delivery, described as "cannonball-like," resonated with the home crowd, eliciting gasps of admiration with each pitch that met the catcher's mitt.

Beyond his raw speed, Rios also displayed a formidable forkball, a pitch that further surprised and impressed onlookers. The combination of his high-octane fastball and deceptive off-speed pitch suggests he will be a significant asset to the LG Twins' bullpen.

Rios's debut came at a moment of high energy for the Twins, following Austin's go-ahead grand slam. The pitcher's dominant performance not only matched the excitement generated by his teammate's hit but also amplified the celebratory atmosphere among the LG fans, who were treated to a thrilling display of pitching prowess.
