# I cried after being hit by a home run of Glove Toss by Doosan Flexen

Flexen started the 2024 Major League against the Kansas City Royals at Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri on the 7th (Korea time) and recorded six hits (one homer) with two walks, four strikeouts and three runs in six ⅓ innings.


Despite achieving a quality start, he did not receive any scoring support. He was beaten while playing good pitching, and he bowed his head.

In 21 appearances with the Doosan Bears in the 2020 season, Flexen led his team to second place in the Korean Series with 8 wins, 4 losses and a 3.01 ERA. He then re-challenged the U.S. in lieu of renewing his contract with the Doosan Bears. He signed a two-year, $4.75 million contract with the Seattle Mariners. He was active in the 2021 season with 14 wins, 6 losses and a 3.61 ERA. Although he moved to the bullpen during the 2022 season, he was not bad with a 3.73 ERA with 8 wins, 9 losses, 2 saves and 33 games.

However, he was released last year when he lost four games and had an ERA of 7.71. He then re-challenged himself in the big league through a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies, and took another leap forward by securing a spot on the starting lineup. He had two wins, four losses and a 6.27 ERA in 12 games.

After the end of the season, he signed a one-year 1.75 million-dollar contract with the White Sox, sharing a team with Eric Peddy. Flexen, who won two games and an ERA of 3.00 in three exhibition games, became a losing pitcher with the Atlanta Braves by allowing four runs in four ⅓ in four innings in his home game and first game of the season.

Then he took the mound for the second time. This time, he pitched better than the first game, but failed to win.

Flexen struggled from the start. He had consecutive hits in the bottom of the first inning, and faced a crisis. He handled Vinny Pasquantino with a straight hit, and then cooked Sandoval Perez with a double play, and did not lose any point.

From the second inning onwards, he regained stability. Through the fourth inning, he pitched three innings in a row with three outs. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Nelson Velazquez hit a right-handed hit with one out, and Nick Loftin allowed a straight walk, putting him on the verge of scoring a point again. During Garrett Hampson's at-bat, Flexen caught the runner on the second base in check, and struck out Hampson to end the inning.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, after allowing Bobby Witt Jr. a left-handed hit after two outs, the catcher committed a foil and advanced to second base, but he continued to pitch scorelessly by treating Vinny Pasquantino as a foul fly to third base.

The problem was in the seventh inning. The game was tied 0-0 in the middle of the game. Flexen took the mound again in the seventh inning. Unfortunately, he did not finish the inning well. After allowing the first batter Salvador Perez to have a hit to the left, he allowed MJ Melendez to have a two-run shot. Luck did not follow. Midfielder Dominic Fletcher tried to make a jump catch when the ball flew to the central fence, but the ball went into his glove before hitting the fence. He unintentionally made a homer through a glove toss.

Afterwards, Flexen grounded out Velazquez to second but was shaken up by allowing Nick Loftin to walk. The White Sox bench decided to replace him. He pitched only 77 pitches but made an early decision. As Jordan Ledger allowed one more run, Flexen's loss became three.

The White Sox failed to score a point and lost 0-3. Flexen lost for the second time.
