<Anchor> The



first pitcher Choo Shin-soo will face on the Korean stage is Lotte Ace Strayley. 



In the major leagues, reporter Yoo Byung-min covered Strayley, who was confused by Choo Shin-soo.

During the major leagues, Shin-soo Choo met 9 foreign pitchers who are currently playing in the KBO league, and among them, he faced the most.



He faced 14 times in his career, and the result was Shinsoo Choo's complete victory.



Including a home run pulled out seven years ago, he recorded 50% on-base with four hits and three walks, and he reigned as a'natural enemy' with only two strikeouts.



Unfortunately, Strayley is also the first pitcher Choo will meet on the Korean stage.



Shinsegae will be playing the opening game with Lotte at home on April 3rd, and Lotte's 1st Starter Strayley is preparing for a sortie.



[Strayley/Lotte pitcher: It's nice to face a 38-year-old KBO rookie~ Welcome to KBO!

Chu!] I



looked forward to a rematch in Korea, saying that instead of the painful memories of the old game, I only had respect for Choo Shin-soo.



[Strailly/Lotte pitcher: Choo Shin-soo made a great achievement in the major leagues.

I am very happy to meet Choo Shin-soo in Korea.]



Strayley, who played an active part as an ace with 15 wins last year, is

proud of

the best year with a new type of cutter this season.



[Stray/Lotte pitcher: The cutter feels good.

My goal is to become the best pitcher of the league's best team.]
