"I want to see it."

This is the answer given by SSG Landers coach Lee Sung-yong over right-hander Park Jong-hoon (33).

Park Jong-hoon, who disappeared from the first-team entry after June 16. The Futures (second division) team changed the knife properly. Through Friday, he posted seven wins and three losses in 73 ⅔ innings in 15 games, with an ERA of 1.95. He had a hit rate of just 163, gave up 29 walks, and garnered 88 strikeouts.

Park Jong-hoon has been sluggish with 1 win and 4 losses in 30 ⅓ innings and a 7.71 ERA in nine first-team games this season. He started eight times, but he pitched more than five innings only twice. After taking the mound in the first team, the situation did not improve and eventually disappeared from the first team list.

Park Jong-hoon started reorganizing again in the Futures team. However, signs of change began to show at the end of August.

Park Jong-hoon, who played two innings in relief against NC on August 28, also took the mound in relief in a Futures League game against Doosan on the 31st and stopped one inning. Including the relief appearance on August 8 (one ⅔ inning against Doosan), he started in the bullpen three times in August alone. Considering his appearance, which has been classified as a starting resource, it is worth raising a question mark.

This is the result of the projection of SSG director Lee Sung-yong's concerns to some extent. Ahead of the announcement of the expansion entry on the 1st, head coach Lee said he was `thinking' about Park Jong-hoon's use, but `he recently told me to throw it little by little from the bullpen.' Then "This year is also this year, but we have to think about next year as well. The starting positions are planned separately for next year, and there are resources to look at in the closing camp`"Park Jong-hoon will compete for starters, but I also want to see him throw from the bullpen. The more bullpen agents there are, the better." As announced in advance, Park Jong-hoon was listed again in the first division entry on the 1st, the day of the expansion entry.

SSG is struggling to revive the flame of the 5th round until the last minute. He is 2.5 games behind fifth-place KT. You have to record a winning rate of more than 50% in the remaining games to get a ticket to fall baseball. However, the mound slump over the starting and bullpen is rarely resolved. This is why attention is bound to be paid to the joining and utilization of veterans who have experienced all kinds of battles.
