Doosan Bears Ace Brandon

Brandon Waddell (29, Doosan Bears) earned his 4th win (2 losses) of the season, showing off his ‘health’ and ‘position’.

Brandon started on the mound in a visiting game against the professional baseball team Kiwoom Heroes held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 8th and pitched 6 innings, allowing 6 hits, 1 run, and striking out 4.

Doosan’s batting lineup concentrated its firepower in the mid to late game and defeated Kiwoom 6-1.

Brandon added a win 33 days after the Lotte Giants game on April 5.

Although he is missing from the leaderboard due to not completing the required number of innings, Brandon continues to pitch solidly with an ERA of 1.59.

Brandon, who had won three consecutive games at the start of the season, became the losing pitcher despite pitching well against the Hanwha Eagles on April 11, allowing 4 hits and 2 runs in 6 innings.

Afterwards, he felt back pain and was away for three weeks. He returned against the Samsung Lions on May 1, but was unlucky, allowing 6 hits and 5 runs (1 earned) in 5 innings.

Brandon, who conceded more runs due to a fielder’s error, also lost in his return game.

However, the match against Kiwoom on the 8th was different.

Brandon was driven to second and third bases with one out and one out in the bottom of the second inning, but overcame his first crisis by striking out Ko Young-woo with a sharp cutter and returning Kim Jae-hyeon with a grounder to third base.

In the 3rd inning, with one out and runners on second base, Ronnie Dawson hit a timely hit, but Kim Hye-seong and Lee Won-seok were hit with outfield fly balls to prevent additional runs.

As Brandon solidly pitched 6 innings, the Doosan batting lineup also showed strength and gifted Brandon a starting win. 스포츠토토
