#Kwak Bin, the returned kite pass stopper, 7 innings 10K show,
the kite pass stopper Kwak Bin is back. Kwak Bin has accomplished his duty as the domestic ace by breaking the team’s losing streak six times this year. He threw 99 pitches in 7 innings and earned his 9th win (3rd loss) of the season with 2 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 10 strikeouts and 1 run. He threw a mix of curves (21), sliders (19) and changeups (14) in a fastball with a maximum speed of 154 km.
In the match against the Lotte Giants in Jamsil on the 26th of last month, the first appearance in the second half of the year, he suffered a loss (2-7 loss) by only giving up 4 runs in 5 innings, 4 hits, 4 walks, 4 strikeouts, and swallowed regret by ending the team’s 11-game winning streak.
But this day was different. Kwak-Bin was hit with a superior home run by Kim In-Hwan after a run in the bottom of the 1st inning and took the lead 0-1. At the ball count of 1-1, the slider was controlled high, so I had no choice but to take a shot.
After giving up the home run, he quickly found a sense of stability. In the bottom of the 2nd inning, the bases were loaded with 2 outs and I wanted to be shaken, but I completely blocked the flow of Hanwha by striking out all 3 out counts (Moon Hyun-bin, Williams, Lee Jin-young) with a swing. At the end of the 3rd inning, Kim In-hwan, Noh Si-hwan, and Chae Eun-seong were treated as a tripartite offense and started to flow. Kim In-hwan and Chae Eun-seong announced the beginning of a full-fledged strikeout show by striking out with a swing.
In the bottom of the 7th inning, after two outs, Williams struck out on a swing and filled up 10 strikeouts. It was an activity that was one short of the 11 strikeouts (September 17, 2021, Jamsil SSG Landers), the record for the most strikeouts in a single individual game.
# ‘158km bang!’ Moon Dong-ju phobia? Yang Seok-hwan finished it off.
Doosan has been unable to target Hanwha’s promising star Moon Dong-ju this year. Moon Dong-ju fought hard against Doosan with 11⅔ innings and 1 run (without a run) in the last two games without a win or loss. It is true that he was an undesirable starting pitcher for Doosan, who wanted to escape from a 5-game losing streak.
It was Yang Seok-hwan who ended Moon Dong-ju’s phobia. In the second inning, trailing 0-1, Yang Eui-ji hit the left wall and shook Moon Dong-ju first. Then, Yang Seok-hwan fired a left-handed two-run gun and quickly overturned the score to 2-1. It was the result of attacking Moon Dong-ju’s curve.
Moon Dong-ju was also good on this day. The highest fastball speed reached 158km, and the average speed reached 152km. His fastball (48) and slider (21) both entered effectively, but his curveball (17) and changeup (3) were not so effective. Moon Dong-ju recorded 89 pitches in 5 innings, 5 hits (1 home run), 4 strikeouts and 2 runs, and took his 7th loss (6 wins) of the season. That one home run allowed to Yang Seok-hwan was painful.
# Uneasy 1-point difference, veteran Yang Eui-ji and Kim Jae-ho’s bombing
1-point difference completely wiped out the regret that Yang Eui-ji hit the fence in the first at-bat in the beginning of the 8th inning while he was anxious. After one out, Kim Jae-hwan went on base with a right hit in right field. The next hitter, Yang Eui-ji, fired a left-handed two-run four, widening the distance to 4-1. Hanwha pitcher Kang Jae-min’s first fastball was properly hit and connected to a large home run with a distance of 120m. Season 9 gun.
Doosan, which gained momentum, continued to push. Yang Seok-hwan hit a double in left-center to open up an additional run, and after two outs, Kang Seung-ho’s sand ball and Yang Chan-yeol’s infield hit in front of the pitcher took the chance to load the bases. Then, Kim Jae-ho swept 3 RBIs to the left of the left fielder and hit a double at the right time to widen the distance to 7-1. It was a shot that completely broke Hanwha’s will to pursue.
# Beanball Controversy? In the anger of Heo Gyeong-min, the bench clearing
bench clearing was also immortal. With the second out and second base, Soo-bin Jung hit a triple at the right time to pitcher Dae-gyeong Yoon, widening the distance to 8-1. The next hitter, Heo Gyeong-min, was hit in the back by Yoon Dae-gyeong’s first fastball. Heo Gyeong-min was convinced that the sand dune was a beanball and immediately jumped at Yoon Dae-gyeong excitedly, leading to a bench clearing in an instant.
Hanwha veteran pitchers Jung Woo-ram and Jang Min-jae came to Heo Gyeong-min to calm him down and quickly sorted things out, but Heo Kyung-min didn’t seem to calm down. Heo Gyeong-min is a player who is far from the usual bench clearing trigger. The fact that such a Heo Kyung-min expressed his anger to that extent had no choice but to see that he was sure of Beanball. In the end, Heo Gyeong-min was replaced by Park Gye-beom, the runner-up, and went into the dugout without receiving an apology from Yoon Dae-kyung.
In the bottom of the 9th inning, Doosan’s last pitcher, Lee Hyeong-beom, allowed 2 runs amidst the pitching, but it was enough to secure the victory.
