The Kiwoom Heroes defeated the SSG Landers 9-3 in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Gocheok Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on Sunday. Kiwoom has won three consecutive games.토토사이트

Kiwoom led starter Kenny Rosenberg to victory in seven innings with nine strikeouts, four hits and one out and two runs. The ace, who had to support the mound as the team chose to form one foreign pitcher for two foreign batters this season, met expectations in the home opener. It was also a pitch to make up for the fact that he allowed eight runs in three innings against the Samsung Lions in the opening game on the 22nd.

After the game, Rosenberg said, "I'm so happy that I won the opening game at home. I've tried to improve my problems since I took the mound. I was nervous about the opening game, too. I focused on each and every ball, but I think it went well."

The key to good pitching was "The game was unfolded with the ball count in my favor. I caught the first strike and put the ball in the direction I wanted. Kim Dong-heon is a young catcher, but he gave me a fantastic lead. Fielders such as (Kim) Tae-jin, (Uh) Jun-seo, and (Lee) Joo-hyung from the center line also helped me too much with defense," he said.

One of Rosenberg's main weapons is curves, which are fast curves (power curves) and slow curves. "I think there is a speed difference of about 3 miles (5 kilometers) between a fast curve and a slow curve," Rosenberg said. "I started pitching both types when I learned how to use the power curve in 2023. I learned this from Matt Moore (During the Los Angeles Angels). Power curves are effective in dealing with right-handed hitters and improve my pitching design."

Regarding the Korean baseball stage, he said, "Korea's baseball culture is fantastic. I can feel the enthusiasm of the fans. It is amazing how the fans can't stop cheering every inning. The quality of Korean baseball is also excellent. Life in Korea is also very enjoyable. I am also very grateful for the consideration of the club (about living in Korea)."

When asked about those who got advice on the first season of the KBO League, he said, "I talk a lot with my English teammates Yasiel Puig and Ruben Cardinez. There is also a fantastic interpreter (to help me), and I get advice from my Kiwoom teammates as well as foreign players. There are also parts I asked about players who have played on the Korean stage, such as Adam Plutko, Detrick Ens, and Wil Crowe," he said.

Rosenberg, who is the only foreign player, said of his responsibility to lead the team's mound, "I try not to think too much by myself. Baseball is an interesting sport, and it's a sport that starts anew every game. It's a sport that unfolds differently in every game. I just try to focus on every ball."

Rosenberg, who received congratulatory water baptism of his teammates right after the game ended, said with a smile, "Oh, I like it," and "It's cold." A new hero who started his journey appeared.
