At a home game against the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday, Chirinos led the team to a 5-1 victory by allowing three hits, seven strikeouts and one run in seven innings. Chirinos' earned run average, which earned its second win of the season, decreased from 3.00 to 2.37. Kia's foreign pitcher Adam Oler (four hits, four runs and three earned runs in six innings) also had an even game with his second quality start of the season (more than six innings as a starter), but Chirinos' results were even better.

What was interesting was the Chirinos' pitching style. Of the 91 pitches, or 71.4 percent, or 65 pitches, were strikes on the day. Compared with Aller (56 of 96 pitches, strike rate of 58.3 percent), Chirinos' strike rate was much higher due to difficulties in adapting to the mound. With two outs in the fourth inning, he walked Na Sung-bum and sent out Kim Tae-gun, the leadoff batter in the sixth inning, but immediately turned off the fire by dispatching strikeouts (Choi Hyung-woo in the fourth inning and Park Jung-woo in the sixth inning). He was far from a type of self-destruction due to dead balls.토토사이트

Chirinos' strength stands out in every game. In its KBO League debut game against the Lotte Giants on April 22, the strike rate stood at 63.1 percent (65/103). In the second game against the NC Dinos on April 28, the strike rate was raised to 73.1 percent (68/93). In both games, he pitched six innings and two runs, which resulted in reduced defense time. It was natural that the fielders' concentration improved.

"I tried to get the batters out quickly by using my favorite aggressive pitching, but I think the preparation process turned out well," Chirinos said after the match. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop expects "offensive" Chirinos to win 15 games. "My goal is to win 15 games. However, I am not taking the mound considering those numbers," he said. "I try to produce good results in every game, but my goal is to show what I can do."
