After starting the season with the Seibu Lions in Japan, Andy Van Hekken is back in Korea pitching for the Nexen Heroes as they prepare to participate in the KBO post-season.
Van Hekken and Heroes start a five game semi-final series against the LG Twins Thursday morning (October 13) at 5:30 am (Holland, MI time). I have not seen a listing of when Van Hekken will start for the Heroes. NOTE: According to myKBO.net, Van Hekken will pitch in Game 2 at 5:30 a.m. Friday (Michigan time)
Van Hekken spent the first three plus months of the season pitching for Seibu of Japan's Pacific League. His results there were less than satisfactory for Seibu's management who released Van Hekken in July.
After his release, Van Hekken returned to Korea to join the Heroes, for whom he pitched in 2012-2015. This season for the Heroes, he logged 72 innings pitched in 12 starts, posting a 3.38 ERA, seven quality starts and a 7-3 win-loss record.
