“Players who don’t have much experience are surprised.”
Moon Dong-ju made his first start in the second half in an away game against Kiwoom Heroes in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 26th. Moon Dong-ju, who took the mound exactly two weeks after the match against LG in Jamsil on the 12th, recorded 6 hits (home runs), 2 walks, 1 strikeout and 2 runs in 5 innings. His fastball speed ranged from 147 to 157 km/h.
He hit a home run from the start. He caught Lee Yong-gyu and Kim Hye-seong well with ground balls, but he suffered a 153km/h hit thrown by Ronnie Dawson. After that, except for the 4th inning, he allowed to go on base every inning, and after giving up one more run in the 5th, he passed the mound to the bullpen. 84 total pitches.
Coach Choi Won-ho said, “Gocheok is the only one among 10 stadiums that does not have a double pitching board because of international competitions. So players who haven’t used it often slip when they go up. I told him to throw it lightly even if it was.”
Currently, in all stadiums except Gocheok, another pitcher’s plate is installed right in front of the pitching plate to prevent soil from digging. Moon Dong-ju made the mound twice in Gocheok only as a relief last year when he was a rookie, and did not concede, but this was his first start.
Director Choi Won-ho said, “It’s very different (from other stadiums). If it’s a double pitch, it’s just stuck, but when I try to lift my legs to move, it sli메이저놀이터ps. .. Players with experience are okay, but players with less experience are surprised.”
Director Choi continued, “And yesterday, there was only one tripartite. I threw 4 out of 5 innings with runners. Then, even with the same number of pitches, the fatigue weight is much different. It’s not just the number of pitches that are replaced, but those things too. We have to see each other,” he added.
On the other hand, on this day, Hanwha faced Kiwoom starter An Woo-jin, Lee Jin-young (right fielder) ~ Jeong Eun-won (2nd baseman) ~ Roh Si-hwan (3rd baseman) ~ Chae Eun-seong (designated hitter) ~ Williams (left fielder) ~ Kwon Kwang-min (1st baseman) ~ Moon Hyun-bin (center fielder) ~ Park Sang-eon (catcher) ~ Lee Do-yoon (shortstop) formed the starting lineup.
