The head coach smiled brightly. It was literally a day of 'star birth' for the fifth-year rookie left-hander, on the day when Pil Seung-jo was given a break.
SSG Landers won the Lotte Giants 5-2 at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 27th, achieving a 2-1 win during the week series. It has been on the rise since the opening of the season, with four wins and one loss.
He was a little behind in the starting showdown on the day. Park Jong-hoon, who was ahead of the 5th starting competition, started the game, but was replaced after failing to fill the 4th inning and allowing 2 runs. There was only one hit, but he allowed as many as six four pitches, revealing problems with his ball control, which was an advantage.
Kim Gun-woo, a rookie in his fifth year, made up for the disappointment perfectly. Kim Gun-woo tied Lotte's batters tightly by allowing only two four outs without a hit in four ⅓ innings.
The total number of pitches was also 65, which was appropriate. He struck out seven with up to 148 kilometers of fastball (47). The combination of change-up (16 sliders) and slider (2) was remarkable. In particular, Na Seung-yeop, the leadoff hitter, hit the first base with no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, but he also showed his self-esteem to deal with the double play after six consecutive fastball games against Reyes.
It is his first debut win in five years since joining the SK Wyverns (the predecessor of SSG) with the first nomination in 2021. After the interview after the game, numerous fellow seniors and juniors rushed to Kim Gun-woo and gave him a water bomb declaration ceremony.
After the game, SSG coach Lee Sung-yong congratulated Kim Gun-woo on his first career win. It was a good pitching in return for his faith. I was a little shaken in the beginning, but I was very complimentary, saying, "Perfect pitching with seven strikeouts without hitting."
Then "On the fielder's side, five hits and four RBIs came from the center line at 3, 4, and 5. Han Yu-sum's multi-hit performance is the income of today's game. Jihoon Choi also showed good performance as a leadoff and hit the winning shot"
"The more the team plays in a difficult situation, the more united the team feels. The one team was able to win this series. Thank you to the fans for your enthusiastic support even in the rain."
