NC Peddie, Challenges for 20th Win in KBO League

NC Peddie, Challenges for 20th Win in 3 Years in KBO League in Game Against KIA on the 26th




If he achieves 20 wins and 200 strikeouts in the remaining season, he will become the first since Dong-yeol Sun in 1986.


These days, NC Dinos foreign pitcher Eric Peddie (30) is called a ‘natural disaster’ among KBO League fans.


This means that, like a natural disaster such as a typhoon or earthquake that cannot be avoided by human power, it is that difficult to catch the pedis guarding the mound. 안전놀이터


Peddie, who is treated as a 'typhoon' by 9 KBO League teams excluding NC, will take the mound as a starter against the KIA Tigers to be held at Changwon NC Park on the 26th.


This is a challenge for Peddie, who has 19 wins, 6 losses, 181 strikeouts, and an ERA of 2.13 in 26 games this season.


This year, Peddie, wearing the NC uniform, created a sensation in the KBO League with his fastball exceeding 150 km per hour and his sweeper, a type of modified slider.


If he wins this KIA game, he will stand tall as a pitcher with 20 wins in the KBO League in three years since Raul Alcantara (Doosan Bears), who achieved 20 wins and 2 losses in 2020.


Currently, Peddie ranks first in three categories, including most wins, ERA, and strikeouts in the league.


The number of wins is 4 more than that of Wes Benjamin (KT Wiz, 15 wins), who is second in the league in this category, and the number of strikeouts is 17 more than Kiwoom Heroes' Ahn Woo-jin (164 strikeouts), who finished the season after undergoing elbow ligament fusion (Tommy John) surgery.


In fact, the title has been confirmed in two categories: most wins and strikeouts.


We cannot rest assured about the ERA title yet.


There is not much difference from Alcantara's 2.29, which ranks second in this category.


If it breaks down in one game, it will be overturned immediately.


The first pitcher triple crown in 12 years since Yoon Seok-min (former KIA Tigers) in 2011 is just around the corner.


Like Yoon Seok-min, who won the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) at the time, Peddie is currently a strong MVP candidate.


If he reaches 200 strikeouts in the remaining schedule, he will be able to achieve 20 wins and 200 strikeouts at the same time for the first time in 37 years since Sun Dong-yeol (former KIA Tigers) achieved 24 wins and 214 strikeouts in 1986.


Eric Peddy struggled the most against KIA.


His overall record at KIA is 2 wins, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 3.71.


His earned run average is the highest among the nine teams he has faced.


This is because he collapsed in a game against Gwangju KIA on the 31st of last month, allowing 7 runs, 8 hits, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts, in 3 innings.


However, the KIA back then and the KIA of today are different.


This is because KIA Choi Hyeong-woo and Na Seong-beom ended the season due to injuries.


Choi Hyung-woo suffered a clavicle fracture, and Na Seong-beom suffered a right hamstring (muscle behind the thigh) and can no longer play this season.
