LG left-hander Detrick Ens

Dietrick Ens (32), the new ace of the professional baseball LG Twins, put on a strikeout show in his debut game on the Korean stage.

Left-handed pitcher Ens started in the visiting game against KT Wiz in the 2024 KBO League exhibition game held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 9th, allowing 4 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, 8 strikeouts, and 2 runs in 4 innings.

The number of pitches was 64, and the highest fastball speed was 148 km/h.

Ens showed off perfect pitching until the third inning.

The game started cleanly in the first inning, with KT Bae Jeong-dae, Kim Min-hyuk, and Mel Rojas Jr. being retired by three-way strikes.

In the second inning, he gave up a heavy hit to leadoff hitter Park Byeong-ho, but Kang Baek-ho was caught in a double play involving pitcher, shortstop, and first baseman.

Afterwards, he struck out Hwang Jae-gyun with a missed swing using a cut fastball.

Ens continued his scoreless streak in the third inning with three strikeouts.

The 4th episode was a bit shaky.

After giving up a heavy hit to leadoff hitter Kim Min-hyuk, he led Rojas and Park Byeong-ho to batters and strikeouts, but allowed a two-run home run to Kang Baek-ho in the middle of the month, allowing a run.

After giving up an infield hit to Jae-gyun Hwang, he struck out Kyung-soo Park to end the game.

Ens checked all pitches, including throwing 27 fastballs, 17 cut fastballs, 10 changeups, 9 curveballs, and 1 slider.

Ens, who played for the Tampa Bay Rays of the Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Seibu Lions of the Japanese professional baseball team, signed a contract with LG for a total of $1 million in December last year.

LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop announced early on that Ens would be the starting team for the opening game of the regular season. 토토사이트
