Kikuchi failed to invest in Toronto with early steel plates?

Pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (31) collapsed again. He did not leave any certainty in the previous starting lineup. Investment in the Toronto Blue Jays in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) is unstable.

Kikuchi started the away game against the 2022 MLB Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas on the 25th (Korea Standard Time) and came down the mound in 3⅔ innings. He finished the mound with three hits (one home run), five walks, four strikeouts, and four runs (two earned runs). Toronto lost 7-8 after 10 extra innings.

I was nervous from the start of the first inning. He hit a double from the first batter. In the second inning, he gave up two walks to create a crisis, and allowed a timely hit to Chas McCormick to donate the first run. He even allowed Alex Bregman a walk. Even if it is accompanied by a defensive error, the reason for the loss is Kikuchi’s free pass. In the fourth inning, Martin Maldonado walked to base and was hit by a two-run shot by Bratley.

He also allowed one run in five innings against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. His third appearance on the day was also a mess, leaving him with regret. So far, he has never taken the mound in the sixth inning. The detailed record is even more disastrous. According to the statistics website Baseball Servant, the hard hit ratio stood at 51.9 percent, up from 47 percent last year. The number of walks also increased from 9.3 percent last year to 13.5 percent this year, while strikeouts decreased from 24.5 percent to 13.5 percent. The swing rate of four-seam fastballs also decreased from 30.5% last year to 18.2% this year. This means that batters hit Kikuchi’s ball confidently
