What did Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon want to say to rookie Hwang Jun-seo, who is ranked first in the overall rookie draft.
Hanwha made an entry change ahead of the SSG Landers match held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 16th. Pitchers Kim Ki-joong and Jang Ji-soo were canceled, and Hwang Joon-seo and Jang Si-hwan were called up.
Big rookie Hwang Jun-seo's return to the first division is notable. He made his debut with high expectations this season, but was blocked by the wall of the professional team and suffered difficulties with 2-8 losses and a 5.07 ERA. He went down to the second division on the 2nd and was given a chance in the first division again after two weeks of maintenance.
On how to use Hwang Joon-seo, director Kim said, `I'm going to write it a little more comfortably. The four (Park Sang-won, Kim Seo-hyun, Han Seung-hyuk, and Joo Hyun-sang) are well equipped. You have to raise your confidence by throwing it step by step from the bottom. Young players have different confidence,' he explained.
At the beginning of the second half, Yang Sang-moon, a pitching coach, took over, and tried to use Hwang Joon-seo as a left-handed must-win team, but it was not easy. Coach Kim said, `I threw about 40 to 45 at Futures. When it is difficult to select, or when it is not, I try to put it in according to the situation. have a lot on one's mind"It is more important to gain experience in the first team than in positions."
Coach Kim called Hwang Joon-seo, who came in after working out in the outfield, and talked about this and that. Manager Kim said "He's a talented player. But I only throw fastballs or fork balls now. It would have been easy to beat a batter in high school, but professionals are different. There should definitely be a body-throwing ball going to another course. Don't be afraid, and I told you that you have to be able to throw it to become a better player. It can be difficult to change something right now, so I told him to think like that step by step."
Hwang Jun-seo is an extreme two-pitch fastball and forkball player. On top of that, the lower the confidence of the fastball, the higher the ratio of folk ball use. It's good for hitters to aim for.
