He is expected to play a key role in the team’s starting lineup as he has the experience and pitches to do so. Kia hasn’t had a strong outside pitcher since Aaron Brooks, who was their ace in the 2020-2021 season. They were in desperate need of an ace who could pitch over 180 innings full-time and post a sub-2 ERA. With a competitive domestic starting rotation that includes Yang Hyun-jong, Lee Yi-ri, and Yoon Young-chul, Crowe’s ace-like performance could boost the chances of fall baseball.
