At Hanwha Life Insurance Ballpark in Daejeon on Monday, ahead of the Hanwha-Kium match, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon stood up after the pre-match briefing and made a hopeful prophecy.스포츠토토
Prospects for starting pitcher Moon Dong-ju, who is seeking his first win in the fourth season, are based on his predictions.
Moon Dong-joo's pitching on the starting mound was rhythmic and cheerful even in the windy and cold weather that he had to turn on the heater in the dugout.
With three hits, no four outs, six strikeouts, and one run ( earned) during six innings, he led the team to a 7-1 victory, and secured its first win in four games this season. With fast and aggressive pitching amid the rain, he garnered his first quality start with the most innings in a season in just 81 pitches. "I could almost feel the coldness on the mound. As I focused more on throwing, I think I was able to control my speed," Moon said. "It was cold and rainy, so I took the game as fast as I learned."
His flimsy pitching shone.
Due to the inclement weather, the speed was only 153km, which was lower than usual, but the timing was taken away by mixing fork balls, sliders and slow curves properly. It was encouraging to play a fast game with no four pitches and create a six-inning quality start victory in 81 teams.
A scoreless game was also possible, but the top of the first inning was disappointing.
He allowed a leadoff hit to top batter Song Seong-moon, but allowed Puig to fly the infield, Park Joo-hong to strike out, with two outs and runners on first base. Choi Soon-hwan hit a timely hit to the right. He grounded out to Lim Byung-wook and finished the inning. The earned run would not have been recorded without the foil. The earned run was zero.
Hanwha's batters started supporting the batters in the bottom of the second inning.
After tying the game 1-1 with Lee Do-yoon's pushing walk with the bases loaded with one out made by Chae Eun-sung's hit, Hwang Young-mook's double and Choi Jae-hoon's walk, top hitter Lee Won-seok made his first hit in 15 at-bats after the opening of this season with a come-from-behind timely hit to make it 2-1.
Starting with three outs in the second inning, Moon Dong-ju continued his good pitching.
He allowed an infield hit that was missed by Kim in the third inning, but struck out Song Seong-moon, who had the highest batting sense, with three fastballs and Puig with breaking balls in succession. Park grounded out to second base. Afterwards, he continued to hit 12 consecutive batters until the sixth inning, silencing Kiwoom's batters with fastballs.
Hanwha's batters fully supported Moon Dong-ju's first win by scoring seven points until the end of the sixth inning.
Moon Dong-ju, who started the season a little late due to injury, suffered a little ups and downs and returned to youth ace mode.
Moon Dong-ju said, "I haven't played a perfect season in years because I've been sick. As it was in the beginning of this season, I learned a lot from the conversations with Ryu Hyun-jin, Ponce Weiss and Um Sang-baek, trying to make all the advice mine. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have gained experience on how to play on the mound," he said, signaling his stellar performance this season.
"I heard it was my first win in 222 days. It took too long. I feel so sorry," Moon said. "I got a lot of strength from fans who filled the stadium in cold weather, family members who came to see me, and my father's friends."
Hanwha will be able to seek a full-fledged rebound based on its solid starting lineup, including Ponce Ryu Hyun-jin and Weiss Moon Dong-ju. Hanwha is expected to have the strongest starting pitcher in the league if Eom Sang-baek, who has been struggling a little due to balance issues at the beginning of the season, returns to normal condition.
