Im Gi-yeong

He is a sidearm pitcher who uses a big changeup as his main weapon and combines fastballs and sliders to compete.

The change-up is so good that left-handed opponent POPS, a weakness of sidearm, is not bad, so he is surviving as a starting pitcher.

Based on his outstanding control, he shows a high first-ball strike ratio, which leads to an advantageous fight with the batter.

On some days, the percentage of pitches is so significant that the batting average is higher than the fastball, and he often throws not only to the left but also to the right, contributing to making batters in trouble.

And as the average speed rose in the 2021 season and the change-up perfectly revived, he was able to lead and overwhelm batters with more swings.
