Kiwoom Heroes' high school rookie Kim Yoon-ha, known as the nephew of Park Chan-ho, showed rollercoaster pitching.
Kim Yun-ha showed his best pitching on July 25 against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil. With up to 148 kilometers of fastballs (59), curves (23), splitters (8), and cutters (6), Doosan won its first victory in seven innings with two hits, three walks, and four strikeouts. A great achievement in his third start.
It was expected that this experience would be a great asset for the starting pitcher in the future.
However, he pitched the worst against the Gocheok NC Dinos on the 1st. He allowed 10 hits (one homer) with three walks, one strikeout and nine runs (eight earned) during four innings.
Fortunately, Kim Yun-ha's loss was erased as the team trailed 3-9 and won 14-9.
Kim Yun-ha has made four starts this season, and 'Clear' and 'B' are repeated. He showed good performance with one hit, two walks, two strikeouts and no runs in five innings against NC on June 25, his first appearance, and then became a losing pitcher with eight hits, two walks, two strikeouts and six strikeouts in four ⅔ against NC on July 13. And nine runs in four innings against NC continued with seven scoreless innings against Doosan.
He is gaining experience as a high school graduate rookie.
Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said of Kim Yoon-ha, "(He pitched well against Doosan with seven scoreless innings, but he was still a rookie, so he was curious about his next appearance."As expected, yesterday's restraint or breaking ball was not good. The ball power wasn't bad, but after winning, I felt like I had a lot of thoughts" Then "It seems that it took a lot of effort, not only to exchange signs with the catcher, but also to control the ball."Coach Hong said, `Since I'm still a young pitcher and a rookie, I think I should prepare well for the next time based on the coaching staff and seniors giving advice so that I can continue to go through these situations and improve one step further.'
