He is also a ‘career’. The pitching of Raul Alcantara (31, Doosan Bears) is defending Doosan’s victory with each passing day.

Alcantara started the 2023 KBO League regular season away game against KT Wiz held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 20th and led the team to a 6-0 victory with a perfect pitching of 8 innings, 1 hit, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts and no runs. Alcantara also took 5 wins (2 losses) in the season.

Alcantara signed a contract with Doosan ahead of this season, but has a lot of experience in the KBO league. He signed with KT in 2019 and stepped on Korean soil, and the following year moved to Doosan and played an active role. After moving to Doosan, he recorded 20 wins and 2 losses with an ERA of 2.54, and also won the Golden Glove as a pitcher. He left the Korean stage due to a contract with the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) Hanshin Tigers, but returned to Korea with good memories after completing the two-year contract period.

On the day when he met KT, his parent team, Alcantara’s pitching was literally perfect. He did not get a hit by a single batter until the 8th inning with one out. It wasn’t perfect from the start. Even in his first inning, his pitching was shaking and he struggled. He allowed 2 walks and even recorded a wild throw, facing a crisis with 2 out 1st and 2nd base. However, he turned Jang Seong-woo into a floating ball in right field, and after that, he began to find stability. He finished both the second and third innings with triplets, and again in the fourth, a shortstop error was the only allowed on base.

Doosan’s other line also presented a first run in the 4th inning. Catcher Yang Eui-ji picked a walk from KT starter Bae Seong-seong and went on base, and Yang Seok-hwan and Heo Gyeong-min scored consecutive hits on first base. Then, in the 5th episode, two points were added by linking the table of 1st and 3rd bases prepared by Lee Yu-chan and Jeong Su-bin with Park Gye-beom’s sacrifice fly and Yang Eui-ji’s timely hit.

While Alcantara continued his no-hit streak on the mound, Jose Rojas exploded on the other line. Rojas, as the lead batter in the top of the 5th inning, hit a solo home run that went over the right wall, widening the score by four points.

Alcantara, who received the momentum of the other line, continued to run, but the flow was cut off in the 8th inning. Infielder Lee Ho-yeon, who was recruited by KT through a trade, attacked Alcantara’s forkball in a one-out situation at the end of the 8th inning and succeeded in preventing the achievement of a record with only a hit in center field that broke the no-hit, no-run.

Even if the no-hit, no-run was broken, he did not waver. Even after giving up a hit, Alcantara struck out Kim Jun-tae with the hit forkball, and threw a fast fastball to Kang Baek-ho and turned it into a ground ball.

Rojas was in charge of Doosan’s celebration. Rojas went to bat again in the beginning of the 8th inning and attacked the sovereign’s 2-ball fastball in a safe first base situation, and once again fired a two-run gun that went over the fence in right field. He filled in his ninth home run of the season with a multi-four.체스카지노

Although he was presented with a generous score, Alcantara gave up his greed for a complete shutout and finished pitching the day with 8 innings. The season’s ERA fell from 1.50 to 1.29. It’s a terrifying pace when you think of the start of the opening game with 4 runs in 4 innings and shaking. The average ERA in May is only 0.32. He achieved 6 consecutive quality starts (6 or more innings and 3 earned runs or less), and gave up 1 run or less in all of these games. Among them, there are 4 games with 7 or more innings and 2 with 8 innings.

Doosan, which was left with regret due to the temporary departure of Dylan File, is now able to feel less vacancy from outsiders thanks to the performances of Alcantara and Lohas. With this victory, Doosan escaped from the recent losing streak and kept 4th place in the regular season with a tie with the NC Dinos.
