"It was very good in the bullpen..."

Hanwha Eagles head coach Kim Kyung-moon said this on the 21st about starter Kim Do-bin, who was substituted after catching one out count.

Kim Do-bin started against the NC Dinos, but allowed one hit, three walks, one strikeout, and two runs against five batters. He piled up runners with 10 consecutive balls from the first pitch, struck out one, but he was eventually replaced after being hit by a timely two-run hit by Kim Hwi-jip after another walk caused a bases-loaded crisis. Kim Do-bin was canceled ahead of the match against Cheongju NC on the 22nd.

Manager Kim said "That's how you become a player. Who would do well from the beginning?" "Just because the players who worked hard for the Futures (second division) team are on the first team stage can be a big message to other players. The decision to prepare again was made at the level of preparation,' he explained. "I'm originally a pitcher who throws fastballs well, but I couldn't throw it because I kept getting pitches," he said, adding that "he must have been most disappointed in both the content and the result." He encouraged "I didn't have a good picture yesterday, but a friend who deserves another chance someday."

Hanwha has a solid starting lineup of foreign one-two punches Weiss Barria and Ryu Hyun-jin Moon Dong-joo. However, the 5th starting position is Muju Gongsan. Kim Min-woo has not been able to find an alternative after leaving the injury. Several players, including Hwang Joon-seo, got the opportunity, but none of them have solidified their position.

Hanwha is still alive with the embers of the 5th round. The goal is to get as many wins as possible in the rest of the game and save hope for autumn baseball. For this, a stable starting rotation is essential.

Coach Kim said, `I think a foreign player's pitching situation could come out on the 4th turn.' "Ryu Hyun-jin needs to manage the number of pitches and other conditions, and he needs to consider various conditions," he said. "When the remaining game schedule begins, there may be situations in which he rests for a while (instead of three consecutive games), and rain may be canceled." I'll try when foreign pitchers come '(4th turn) situation comes' did say. I have to consult with the player himself, and if such a situation comes up later, I will discuss it with the pitching coach and think about it."
