Hanwha Eagles’ next-generation ace Moon Dong-ju (20) fought against the league leader LG Twins in the last game of the first half and won a valuable starter. And he is moving towards the first rank of the immovable Rookie of the Year.

Moon Dong-joo started in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League away game against LG held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 12th and recorded 5 hits, 5 strikeouts and 1 run in 7⅓ innings, leading the team to a 2-1 victory. He finished the first half with a 3.47 earned run average of 6 wins and 6 losses.

When the match was postponed due to rain the previous day (11th), Hanwha announced Dong-ju Moon as the starter instead of Seung-hyeok Han, who was scheduled to be the starter. It was coach Choi Won-ho’s will to win by putting forward Moon Dong-ju, who had a sense of stability over Han Seung-hyuk. As a result, this decision was successful.카지노

Moon Dong-ju, who rose with a two-point lead in the first inning, signaled a smooth start with a three-way attack. Afterwards, he blocked the LG lineup with salty water pitching that gave only two hits until the fifth inning. In the second inning, after one out, Oh Ji-hwan allowed his first hit, but he blocked it well, and in the bottom of the third inning, after two outs, Hong Chang-ki hit a double and faced a scoring crisis for the first time. Until the fifth inning, Moon Dong-ju had only 62 pitches.

In the 6th inning, Moon Dong-ju, who came to the mound, was hit by lead hitter Shin Min-jae, but catcher Choi Jae-hoon made an accurate throw to stop the stealing. And Hong Chang-ki strikes out and fills up two outcounts in an instant. When the follow-up batter Moon Seong-ju was at bat, he caught an ambiguous ground ball himself and threw it quickly and strongly to first base, ending the inning with his own hands. Moon Dong-ju also blocked the 7th inning with a three-way offense and continued his good fight.

However, Moon Dong-ju faced the biggest crisis in the 8th episode. Moon Dong-joo allowed a double to Moon Bo-gyeong and a walk to Park Hae-min after one run, and was hit by a missed hit by Shin Min-jae, putting the bases full.

Then, the Hanwha bench made a decision. With over 100 pitches, Moon Dong-ju, who had lost his strength, was lowered and left-hander Kim Bum-soo was put in.

The decision to replace the Hanwha bench was successful. Kim Bum-soo allowed the third base runner to score when Hong Chang-gi’s shortstop grounded, but after that, he did not give up the lead as he caught two out counts without conceding.

Out of the crisis, Hanwha sent Park Sang-won to finish the game in the 9th inning and finished the game with a victory.

Moon Dong-ju, whom we met after the game, said about pitching 108 pitches, “Actually, I thought that I would be the last batter every time from the time I got close to 100 pitches. However, it seemed like opportunities kept coming to me. It’s unfortunate, but I tried to fight well.”

He finished the first half for the first time since his professional debut. Last year, he was injured in spring camp, so joining the first team was delayed, and he started the season only in May.

Moon Dong-ju said, “I finished the first half for the first time, but I think I’m getting better as I play a lot of games. I think I’ve come up with my own trick.” I was able to focus. My goal was to throw without getting sick, and I think I achieved that goal 100%.”

He came down from the base with the first out and was left with regret, but thanks to Kim Beom-soo, he was able to minimize the run.

Moon Dong-joo smiled and said, “(Beom-soo) hyung loved me so I believed he would stop me.”

What is the secret to Moon Dong-ju’s conditioning? sleep right away So, whenever he plays away, he carries his own pillow. Moon Dong-joo said, “Sleep seems to play a big role. I tend to sleep a lot, so I try to sleep a lot. It seems that I try to sleep a lot because sleep is very helpful in regulating my physical condition. I seem to sleep for more than 10 hours on average without waking up.” revealed

He is similar to Shohei Ohtani (LA Angels), who is dominating the major leagues. Ohtani also pays the most attention to sleep to control her condition. Especially during home games, he eats breakfast and goes back to bed.

Hearing this, Moon Dong-ju smiled and said, “I want to follow Ohtani. I should eat breakfast and sleep like Ohtani.”

Moon Dong-ju looked forward to the second half, saying, “If I make up for the regrettable points that come out every time I play, I think there will be good results by the time the season ends.”
