# "If you think you're playing against the fourth seed"

"When you think you're going up against their front four..."

Ricardo Sanchez (27-Hanwha Eagles) started an exhibition game against the Yeolan Samsung Lions at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on Sept. 9 and allowed two runs on three hits, four walks and two strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings.

He gave up two runs in the first inning on three hits, but pitched the second and third innings without allowing a hit. In the fourth inning, he got Kang Min-ho to ground out to short before handing the mound over to Kim Kyu-yeon.

Despite giving up a run, she didn't look bad overall. Her fastball topped out at 151 kilometers per hour and she mixed in a changeup-slider-curveball.

"Even though Sanchez gave up two runs in the first inning, I think he's fine because his body is ready," Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho said on Tuesday.

Sanchez joined Hanwha in April as a foreign-born replacement for Butch Smith. After making his debut on May 11, Sanchez was solid in the month of May with two wins and a 0.90 ERA in four games. However, he was gradually exploited and struggled in the second half of the year, going 2-7 with a 4.60 ERA in 14 games.

At the point of re-signing, Hanwha opted to stay with him for another year. The search for a new pitcher was on, but it wasn't easy. Sanchez isn't an ace by any means, but he's a pitcher who can stay in the rotation consistently without getting injured. He's also young and has a lot of upside.

He worked on his changeup during spring training. It's not perfect yet. "I'm still working on my grip and throwing mechanics," Choi said. I don't [토토사이트](https://www.totopick.pro) think it's perfect yet. I need to throw it a little more and get a feel for it. Also, last year, my fastball arm angle was low, so I raised it. It still goes back and forth. I'm also working on my pitching habits, but I think I'll be fine once I get used to it a little more."

This year, Sanchez will be able to pitch with a little more comfort. Hanwha's acquisition of Ryu Hyun-jin for eight years and 17 billion won ($17 million) pushed the starting rotation order up one spot. Sanchez will be the third or fourth starter alongside Moon Dong-ju.

"I feel that Sanchez is weak against the opponent's one-two punch, but if he goes to the fourth spot, he won't be pushed out among the 10 clubs," Choi said, adding, "Each team becomes weaker from the fourth spot, but we will have a foreign pitcher."

Hanwha, meanwhile, had Sanchez on the mound on the ninth and Hwang Jun-seo, who is competing with Kim Min-woo for the fifth spot, on the tenth. Hwang allowed one run on five hits and four walks in three innings, striking out four and walking one.

Felix Peña will take the mound against the KIA Tigers on the 11th, followed by Ryu Hyun-jin and Moon Dong-joo on the 12th.
