Concerns are mounting over LG Twins pitcher Andrew Tolhurst's recent performance, as his once-dominant ERA has climbed to 0.50, sparking questions about his continued effectiveness. The pitcher, who had a reputation as a 'Lion Killer' for his success against the Samsung Lions, has struggled to replicate his past form.
Manager Yeom Kyung-yup acknowledged the pitcher's difficulties, admitting that adjustments are necessary. "We plan to make adjustments during the break. We've had discussions. I don't think we can start the second half as things are," Yeom stated, indicating a need for intervention.
