New foreign pitcher Adam Oler (31) of Kia has made his debut. He is preparing for the first season by fighting spirit to keep the mound date despite showing symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting.온라인바카라

Oller took the mound at a practice game against the Hanwha Eagles at Kinstadium in Okinawa, Japan on Saturday. Oller, who took the mound in the fifth inning as the third pitcher after James Nail and Yang pitched two innings each, pitched perfectly with two strikeouts and no walks during the two innings. He threw 21 fastballs, curves, sliders and slobs, and posted the maximum speed of 153 kilometers per hour.

KIA moved to Japan without practicing in the U.S. off-season training, played its first game against Hiroshima in the Japanese professional baseball league on the 22nd, and then played its second game on the day. The foreign duo and Yang Hyun-jong also played their first game, and it was the first time for Aller, who entered KIA this year. Nail and Yang Hyun-jong pitched two innings each, allowing one or two runs, but Aller finished his first appearance most completely.

He took the mound despite his poor physical condition. Having suffered from a stomachache and vomiting on the previous day due to ill-advised eating, Oler stubbornly took the mound despite the recommendation from his team to move his pitching date to 27.

"I'm allergic to crustaceans. I didn't eat crustaceans, but I had an upset stomach maybe because of other foods," Oler said. "I had a severe stomachache two days ago, but I took a rest yesterday and got a little better, so I told him I would play. There may be situations where I am not 100 percent better during the season, but I have to keep going and fighting anyway. If it's not an injury, I think I have to go out and fight."

Oler is a pitcher who had high hopes to come to Korea. Just as his agency confirmed his plan to go to Kia at the simple stage of contact before signing a contract with Kia, the team was plunged into chaos as Oler wrote a message on social networking services and expressed "sympathy."

"It was because I was so happy," Aller said. "I've been thinking that I want to play in Korea or Japan as a player. In particular, I chose the KBO League, which allows me to play regularly because I've been tired of going back and forth between Major League and Minor League for the past three years. I want to supplement and grow in the KBO League and return to the U.S. as an all-rounder," he said.

Kia needs an "inning pitcher" after failing to enjoy foreign pitching until James Nail took active role last year. Along with Yang, who pitched more than 170 innings for the first time in the league for the 10th consecutive year, foreign pitchers are required to take charge of many innings. Aller is determined.

"In the U.S., it is a trend for starting pitchers to throw and come down efficiently for five innings these days, but I played a lot of role as an inning player in the U.S. from the 6th to 8th innings. Even when I was in college, I had a name on the list of most innings pitched in a season," Oler said. "I know that KIA has a lot of expectations for innings. If my condition is good, I will take the responsibility to continue throwing not only in the 6th inning but also in the 8th inning. I can throw up to 200 innings in the season and I am determined."

Aller, who wanted to come to Korea, is already learning a lot about Korean culture from nail polish. He had his first training session in Irvine, the U.S., and came to Japan for the second training session, and even though he has never visited Korea, he has accepted Korean food. "My favorite food is ramen," said Aller, who became fond of marinated galbi.
