‘To see 160km fireballer pitching for two consecutive days in Daejeon, my eyes are really good’ I was surprised by Kim Seohyun once more.
Daejeon Eagles Park where the Hanwha Eagles and Doosan Bears played three matches during the week. last 18 days. ‘Prince of Daejeon’ Moon Dong-joo, who appeared as a starting pitcher for the first time in front of home fans this season, put a fastball with a maximum speed of 159km into the catcher’s mitt.
Pitching 5.2 innings, 2 hits, 4 walks, 4 strikeouts, 8 scoreless runs. Moon Dong-ju, who recorded the highest number of pitches by an individual with 98, came down from the mound with one out in the 6th inning as a management measure. Pitching coach Rosado and catcher Choi Jae-hoon, who came to the mound with the ball, praised the baby eagle, who had grown terribly.
Director Subero also visited Moon Dong-ju, who entered the dugout, and encouraged him with a happy expression.
Hanwha Moon Dong-ju, who started as a starting pitcher for the Gwangju KIA game on the 12th, recorded 160.1 km (pitch tracking system PTS standard per hour) in the first inning, becoming the first Korean player to reach 100 miles.
Coach Subero canceled Moon Dong-ju from the first-team entry the next day. Instead, Kim Seo-hyun, a ‘monster rookie’ wearing a Hanwha Eagles uniform, was called up to the first team with the first overall pick in last year’s professional baseball draft.
Kim Seo-hyun pitched in 5 games in the demonstration game and had an average ERA of 1.80 with 3 holds, but the coach did not immediately use the monster rookie. Like Moon Dong-ju last season, Kim Seo-hyun was also considered by Subero, who wanted him to refine the points to be supplemented in the second team under thorough management.
However, for Kim Seo-hyun, the 2nd group stage was small. Kim Seo-hyun played aggressively against batters, giving up only 2 walks while recording an average ERA of 1.80 and 11 strikeouts in 3 holds in 5 games in the Futures League.
Hanwha missed the game that they were able to catch as the back door was shaking recently. Kim Seo-hyun, who joined the first team immediately after the news of coach Subero’s call-up, adjusted her condition by lightly half pitching in the outfield before the game.
The match between the two teams in the 7th inning 5-5 is back to square one. Coach Subero took out Kim Seo-hyun’s card in a tight situation. After warming up in the bullpen in the outfield, Kim Seo-hyun received the ball from Coach Rosado, took a breather, and prepared for pitching.
When Kim Seo-hyun’s practice pitching was recorded on the electronic board at 156km, cheers erupted from the crowd. Doosan Rojas, the lead hitter in the 7th inning, struck out shortstop Heo Gyeong-min and Lee Yoo-chan, and Kim Seo-hyun’s winning shot was a powerful fastball with a distance of 160 km.
Kim Seo-hyun, who recorded 160.1 km based on the team’s trackman and 157.9 km based on the KBO PTS, was so powerful that her fastball was hollow.
Hanwha fans, who exclaimed the 159km fastball of ‘Daejeon Prince’ Moon Dong-joo, who appeared as a starting pitcher the day before,메이저놀이터 smiled once again at ‘Monster Rookie’ Kim Seo-hyun’s 160km fastball, who was on the mound for the first team as a pro the next day.
“I’m happy, I’m happy because it’s Hanwha.” Baseball fans who watched the fastball pitching two days in a row showed happy faces, just like the Eagles’ representative cheering song.
