Im Gi-yeong
Im Gi-yeong (born April 16, 1993) is a South Korean professional baseball pitcher currently playing for the Kia Tigers of the KBO League. He is a sidearm pitcher who uses a big changeup as his main weapon and combines fastballs and sliders to compete.

Even if he hits a hit or a home run, he can throw a strike on the first pitch to the next batter, which is also an advantage.
