It's only one win, but four losses

LG Twins' Casey Kelly's performance this season is 1-4 with a 5.52 ERA in eight games. It is a somewhat unfamiliar start for Kelly, who has won double digits for the past five consecutive years and has a 3.20 ERA.

Last year, he had ups and downs, but with 10-7 losses and a 3.83 ERA, he continued to gain experience. He also contributed to his team's overall win and demonstrated his presence as an ace in name and reality.

Kelly won his first game of the season against the Doosan Bears on April 12, his fourth appearance since the opening of this season. He has recorded quality starts in three of the four games since the opening, and he has been very active in the game against Doosan, where he won his first game, by allowing one run (non-earning) in seven innings.

However, in the four games after his first win, he recorded only three losses without a win. In the last three games, he allowed more than five runs. In the match against SSG Landers in Jamsil on Tuesday, his most recent appearance, Guillermo Heredia was dragged out by allowing a three-run homerun in the first inning. With an additional run in the fifth inning, he allowed five runs in the final five innings. Immediately after Kelly left the mound, LG tied the game 5-5, and although he eased his disappointment by winning the final score 8-5, Kelly's homework will continue.

"Still, my ball speed went up by 2 kilometers in yesterday's game against SSG," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop told reporters. "My ball speed went up by about 142 kilometers in the previous game, but I think the ball speed went up overall yesterday."

Regarding Kelly's recent slump, he said, "It is more a matter of pitching design than aging curve. We need to change our pitching patterns from now on. I think we can pitch better if we increase the use of curveballs and forkballs, which are Kelly's most valuable pitches when it comes to selecting pitches."

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also said, "Even if you use a slider, it is more effective to use a cut slider that serves as a ball in 2S situations. Sliders that hold counters are not very valuable to pitchers. Ball-throwing sliders are much more effective for Kelly right now. I explained this pitching design to (catcher) Park Dong-won and told him how to get there, but there are situations where Kelly eventually shakes her head. Still, I continue to talk with the catcher and induce him to make changes."
