Hanwha starter Han Seung-hyuk (30) and Pilseungjo Kang Jae-min (27) allowed three runs side by side against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 25th. Han Seung-hyuk, who started as a starter, was substituted early after being sluggish with four hits and three walks in 2.2 innings.
While Lee Tae-yang blocked the remaining 2.1 innings without losing a point, the batters cheered up to tie the game 3-3 in the sixth inning. 메이저놀이터 Kang Jae-min, who took the mound after being replaced by Lee Tae-yang, quickly gave up a tie, hitting consecutive hits by leadoff hitters Song Sung-moon and Lee Hyung-jong and allowing Kim Dong-heon a two-run shot. He had no choice but to leave the mound after allowing three runs in 0.2 innings.
Except for these two, Lee Tae-yang, Kim Bum-soo, Jang Si-hwan, Joo Hyun-sang and Han Seung-joo defended the mound without additional runs, and the batters scored 13 points in the eighth inning alone, ending the game with a great victory of 16-6 Hanwha.
Apart from the result of victory, one axis of the starting lineup and bullpen must-win group failed to fulfill their role. Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho, who met before the game against Kiwoom on the 26th, looked back on Han Seung-hyuk’s pitch the previous day and said, “(Han) Seung-hyuk was on the starting mound for the first time in almost four weeks. “I threw 0.1 innings a few days ago, but I don’t think it’s right to evaluate my skills because it’s hard to say that I pitched yesterday in a proper condition,” he said.
Just before the previous day’s game, Han Seung-hyuk’s last start was against KT in Daejeon on the 28th of last month, and he left the mound after allowing eight hits and four runs in three innings. Coach Choi predicted Han Seung-hyuk as a starter against SSG on the 30th and said, “He should be able to understand himself. “I couldn’t throw the ball because it kept raining for a month,” he said.
Coach Choi also reserved the evaluation of Kang Jae-min. Kang Jae-min lost all three games in July, including the previous day, failing to fill one inning.
Coach Choi said, “He is a player with strengths such as the ability to throw strikes, breaking balls, and fast ball movement, but it was not good in two games in the second half,” adding, “We can’t get a player who has settled down to some extent just because he played a few games.” He said, “The player should also get off to the second division when he can understand.”
