Moon Dong-ju said, `It's been a long time since I pitched on the mound, but I'm satisfied because I think I threw well and came down healthy rather than fastball. I was a little excited because it's been a long time since I pitched, but I felt that there wouldn't be a big problem if the sense of the game increased a little more. I want to return to the starting lineup as soon as possible and be helpful to the team, and I will try to repay the fans who always give me great support."

After a successful return match, Moon Dong-ju will take the mound once again after two days off. Coach Kim said "After a two-day break, he throws it once. After that, I was going to take two days off and throw it, but it's a night game, so I don't think it'll be good because the weather is cold, so I'm going to take three days off and throw it in the last game."
