Hanwha Eagles pitcher Moon Dong-joo exchanged conversations with foreign pitchers Cody Ponce and pitching coach Yang Sang-moon at the bullpen pitching field located in the outfield of SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 16th.토토사이트
According to the club, Moon said, "You can think of it as just two studies on how to throw stronger pitches. I learned how to use strength from Ponce," and Ponce said, "You learned from me? Moon is already the strongest pitching pitcher in the league. I don't want Dong-ju to throw faster pitches."
He already threw a strong fastball, but since Moon Dong-ju wanted to become stronger, he asked Ponce, who has experienced both Major League and Japanese professional baseball.
"This is a great phenomenon," Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said. "He learned baseball in the U.S. and played in Japan. He wanted to ask for advice as Dong-ju is younger than him," he said. "It's good to have a fast ball, but you have to save the best ball you can throw. A starting pitcher should block at least five innings. I hope he doesn't throw his strongest ball from the beginning."
After a heated debate, Moon took the mound in the second game of this season against the NC Dinos at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on Sunday. In the game that took place amid bad weather, Moon calmly continued to play.
In the first inning, Kwon Hee-dong, the first batter, was sent off with a pitch, but Kim Joo-won was struck out swinging and Son A-seop was grounded out. The maximum speed in the first inning was 153 kilometers. In the second inning, Oh Young-soo had a maximum speed of 157 kilometers, and Kim Hwi-jip, the third baseman's straight hit, and Kim Hyung-joon were struck out swinging.
He was shaky in the third inning. He struck out Shin Jae-hwan and Park Si-hwan by using sliders and folk balls, respectively. However, he allowed a walk to Choi Jeong-won and an RBI triple to Kim Joo-won. He then allowed Park Min-woo to make a timely RBI. He allowed two runs in the third inning.
However, he had no more runs. He gave up an infield hit to leadoff hitter Son A-seop in the fourth inning, but he caught Oh and stole the bases, and struck out Kim Hui-jip. He also faced a crisis of losing points in the fifth inning with one out and runners on the first and third bases, but handled Choi and Kim with fly balls to the left field.
And is it luck that follows? As soon as the conditions for an official match were met at the top of the fifth inning, rain poured down. The judges watched the game for an hour and 21 minutes, but the rain showed no signs of stopping. In the end, Hanwha's victory in the Rainfall Cold was declared at 8:13 p.m. It was a lucky victory for Hanwha.
Moon Dong-ju made his debut in his first complete game. Hanwha's last complete game was against the Daejeon NC Dinos on Sept. 4, 2022, in Kim Min-woo's 958 days, and the second complete game against the Kang Woo-cold came in 2,204 days since Jang Min-jae against the Lotte Giants in Busan on Apr. 7, 2019.
The record of consecutive team wins also led to six consecutive wins. It started with Mun Dong-ju against the Kiwoom Heroes in Daejeon on the 13th, followed by Ponce, Ryan Weiss and Ryu Hyun-jin against the Incheon SSG Landers on the 14th and 16th, and Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-ju against the Daejeon NC on the 17th and 18th.
Above all, Hanwha's victory on the day helped the team leap to second place in the league with 13 wins and 11 losses. Having been sluggish in its opening 13 games with four wins and nine losses, the team has been cruising with nine wins and two losses recently, pleasing Hanwha fans.
