"(Cho) Dong-wook made me throw a lot yesterday."
When Ryu Hyun-jin (38), the ace pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles, withdrew due to pain in his left adductor muscle in the match against the KT Wiz in Daejeon on Sunday, manager Kim Kyung-moon put another left-hander Cho Dong-wook (21) on the mound. Cho allowed five hits, three strikeouts, and one walk in two ⅔ innings.
Choi Won-ho, an SBS Sports commentator who watched Cho catch eight out-counts, predicted through a broadcast that Cho would take the mound as the next pitcher for Ryu Hyun-jin. It was accurate. Coach Kim Kyung-moon made his official starting lineup official ahead of the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on Wednesday.
In a cool-headed light, only Cody Ponce and Eric Weiss can play well in the "Ponwaryum" that Hanwha boasts. Um Sang-baek was the first player to play in the second division due to poor performance. Moon Dong-ju has no major injuries this year unlike previous years. However, he has recently been reduced to the second division for rest and reorganization.
And Ryu will take a break for a while after the game on Tuesday. A source at the Hanwha Eagles said, "I will skip two starts." Manager Kim Kyung-moon also said, "I am not injured enough to take a single rest. However, the injury is not serious enough to end the first half of the season.
From a broad perspective, Um Sang-baek, Moon Dong-ju and Ryu Hyun-jin are close to management. It is widely believed that the battle between the LG Twins and the top-ranked team will be concluded at the end of this season. Manager Kim Kyung-moon, who has suffered a serious injury, does not use excessive energy of his key players.
Crucially, Hanwha's mound definitely has a good depth. Recently, he has recruited a lot of good newcomers and reached its peak by recruiting Ryu Hyun-jin and Um Sang-baek. Recently, Hwang Joon-seo has made several starts. He has lost two games and has a 5.14 ERA in three games. Now Um Sang-baek is back, and Cho Dong-wook will receive the next opportunity.
Cho is a second-year left-hander who graduated from Jangchung High School and joined the team as the 11th player in the second round in 2024. Since Hwang Jun-seo was the first player in the team, and Cho was the next in line, Hanwha has high expectations for Cho. Cho has an ERA of 3.70 with one save and three holds in 27 games this season.
Despite being somewhat unstable, he had a good fastball in the late 140km range. He is 190 centimeters tall, which is good for him to hit from the top. He has different feel from other left-handers in his team. For Hanwha, in this situation, he should use this as an opportunity to motivate Cho and increase overall strength of the starting lineup. Even if it's a little shaky, the defense and bullpen are so good that they can't compare to previous years. It seems that there will be enough power to hold on to the top. 카지노
