“It’s not even an educational league…”

Hanwha’s starting lineup is a bit uneasy, except for Felix Pena, Ricardo Sanchez, and Moon Dong-ju. In fact, Moon Dong-ju is only doing very well for a rookie, and it’s not strange when he shakes. Coach Won-ho Choi adjusted the 4th and 5th starts several times after his appointment.메이저사이트

Currently, Han Seung-hyuk and Jang Min-jae have stepped down, and Lee Tae-yang and Kim Seo-hyun, a rookie, have joined. In particular, on the 16th, Lee Tae-yang won the first start in a year with 4 hits, 1 strikeout and 1 run in 5 innings against Changwon NC. It was the first win in Hanwha after 6 years and 2 months since the Daejeon KT match on June 18, 2017.

Lee Taeyang is accustomed to going back and forth between the starting pitcher and the bullpen. Even though he moved to the starter after playing in the bullpen all season, he blocked 5 innings perfectly well. There was also his own explanation that his experience in his SSG days was an opportunity to broaden his view of baseball. He had the ability to use various types of pitches to induce bum-hits and eat innings.

Coach Wonho Choi laughed ahead of the Changwon NC game on the 17th and said, “It’s not even an educational league. We can’t continue to develop starting pitchers here.” I decided to appoint Lee Tae-yang, believing in his unique experience and sense of stability. Director Choi said, “There is uncertainty about the 4th and 5th selections, so I pulled out a clear card called Lee Tae-yang.” In other words, Lee Tae-yang acknowledged the words, “If only there was a player like me, the manager and coach would be comfortable.”

Now, the Hanwha starting lineup is ready to return to a stable level for the 1st to 4th starters. The final concern is the selection of the 5th. Apart from the results of this season, even thinking about the future, we have to solve the 5th starting issue. It is best for Kim Seo-hyun to settle down in the first team as it is, but he has to be watched.

Hanwha’s native selection and fostering project is not over. 5th starter Kim Seo-hyun finally debuts as a starting pitcher in the Changwon NC game on the 17th. Coach Choi expressed the view that it might take time to develop him as a starting pitcher rather than Moon Dong-ju. Coach Choi said, “Even if we don’t get results right away, we have to continuously improve and challenge ourselves.”
