Han Seung-hyuk of Hanwha Eagles is the main character.
Han Seung-hyuk did not come out according to the scenario against the LG Twins in Daejeon on the 13th, raising everyone's curiosity. Hanwha should have taken the mound in the top of the eighth inning with a 2-0 lead, but Hanwha put up Kim Kyu-yeon, not Han Seung-hyuk, and even in the crisis of one out and second base, Kim Kyu-yeon and Lee Sang-kyu. In the end, it was tied 2-2, and in the top of the ninth inning, the closing main phenomenon reversed and lost 2-3.
Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon told the sad story of Han Seung-hyuk preparing for the game on the 14th, but he gave up taking the mound because he felt uncomfortable on his shoulder while warming up. It was an inevitable situation. Fortunately, he got better on the 14th and waited to take the mound.
And he took the mound in the top of the eighth inning when he had to come out the day before. Han Seung-hyuk, who took the mound at 3-5, allowed the lead Park Dong-won to hit left-handed. pinch runner Choi Won-young attempted to steal second base at the first pitch, and catcher Lee Jae-won caught it with an accurate throw.
However, he allowed Park Hae-min to walk straight, with one out and runners on first base. In addition, he gave up a surprise bunt hit to Koo, who was on the verge of losing points with one out and runners on the first and second bases.
However, Han Seung-hyuk's concentration was shown in the crisis. After catching the first pitch strike with a slider against Hong Chang-ki, who hit the come-from-behind final hit the previous day, he threw a slider on the second pitch to Hong Chang-ki, who was waiting for a fastball, to induce a swing and miss. On the third pitch, he took the wrong wing once more with a 114km curve that dropped the ball and struck out.
Shin Min-jae also escaped the crisis by striking out swinging with a 138km fork ball in the advantageous count of 1B2S.
And Hanwha hitters scored a large number of six points in the bottom of the eighth inning to win 9-5, and Han Seung-hyuk became a winning pitcher and took his fifth win of the season.
After the game, Han Seung-hyuk said, `I was very sorry that I couldn't take the mound yesterday when the team was in need. I felt sorry because the result was like that"I thought I should be better at managing it and help the team," he said first, expressing his regret for not being able to play in the game on the 13th.
Then "Today, my physical condition was better than yesterday, but I was a little worried and nervous before taking the mound because I thought it might be bad again. Fortunately, it's okay. I was able to stop the first inning"It's good that I became a winning pitcher, but I'm really happy that the team won the victory over the bad situation yesterday."
