Hanwha Eagles coach Moon Dong-joo and Yang Sang-moon said the same thing. It was because it was a moment of waiting and waiting.
'National team ace' Moon Dong-ju announced the prelude to the revival. Moon made his first bullpen pitching at the Hanwha Spring Camp at Melbourne Ball Park in Melbourne, Australia on the 4th.
It was 15 balls, but the meaning was huge. This is because it was Moon Dong-ju's pitching that everyone had been waiting for.
Moon Dong-ju has suffered ups and downs since the beginning of last year, showing difficulty in controlling the ball. It seemed to be recovering after manager Kim Kyung-moon took office, but he put the ball down due to shoulder pain in early September when the team was in the midst of competition for autumn baseball. It could not be attributed to Moon Dong-ju, but as a result, Hanwha did not advance to the postseason.
The team is also a team, but I was also worried about Moon Dong-ju. At first, I thought it was a mild shoulder pain, but it didn't recover. Moon Dong-ju has made tremendous efforts to return to the Thai rehabilitation camp at his own expense and build up his body this season.

The worry was a rain. From the time I warmed up, the ball was stuck in the meat. Although the number of power pitches resumed after a long break was limited to 15, the power of each ball he threw remained. The ball control was also stable.
Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach who watched Moon Dong-ju's pitching, laughed, saying, `Today is the happiest day since I came to camp.' All the meaning was implied in this one word. I couldn't help but worry, but it was more than I expected.

Moon Dong-ju continued "There were so many people who cared about throwing the ball again. I thought it was time to do well and took the mound. I'm satisfied with just throwing the ball again. It felt good.," he added.
Dong-ju Moon commented on the shoulder condition "It can be said that it is almost perfect. I've made myself well so there won't be a big problem. "It's just the beginning. So I don't think it's the right stage to talk about the pitch or anything like that. I have to play matches in the future, and I have to pitch a lot more. Still, it seems that the first signal was fired well.'
