Kwak Bin allowed five hits, four outs, and four runs in one inning in the postseason wild-card game against KT Wiz at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd.
Kwak Bin, who had four scoreless innings in the wild card game in 2021, met KT in the Korean Series that year and allowed four runs (three earned runs) in five ⅔ innings.
He played in six games against KT this season, showing an extreme performance with five wins, no losses, and an ERA of 1.51. I was able to enter with confidence, but I was attacked from the first inning.
His fastball of up to 156 kilometers per hour was useless. On this day, Kwak Bin struggled, throwing 30 pitches in the first inning alone. There was no problem with the fastball ball control, but the ball control was shaky. The balls that went in to catch the count were eventually shaken as they were attacked.
A walk came out from the start of the first inning. He took 1S after 3B to leadoff hitter Kim Min-hyuk, but eventually walked. Then he caught 2S to Rojas, leading the ball count in his favor, but 4 pitches? The fastball became a hit. Later, Jang Sung-woo's timely hit came out, and in the process, errors overlapped, leading to additional bases.
The loss continued. Kwak Bin, who allowed three runs due to consecutive timely hits to Kang Baek-ho and Oh Jae-il, became second and third with one out due to Oh Yoon-seok's sacrifice bunt. Hwang Jae-kyun was struck out with a curve after a full count match, but one person came into the home when Bae Jeong-dae hit a timely hit. Oh Jae-il, who was at second base, was able to finish at four runs by catching him at home.
Kwak Bin, who allowed Shim Woo-joon to walk in the top of the second inning, eventually failed to keep the mound more. a total of 36 pitches.
