Jung Cheol-won (26, Lotte Giants) took the mound in the top of the eighth inning in an exhibition game against the KIA Tigers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 9th and recorded one inning, one walk, two strikeouts and no runs.
Jung Chul-won, who got off to a shaky start by walking leadoff hitter Park Jae-hyun, was on the verge of a one-out and second base due to Han Seung-taek's sacrifice bunt.
He showed his concentration in earnest. He gave up the first ball against the subsequent Choi Won-joon, but he has led the ball count in favor of 1B2S with two fastballs. Choi Won-joon's bat went around the fork in the fourth pitch and struck out.
After overcoming the crisis, Jung Cheol-won threw two forks in a row against Yoon Do-hyun to draw two fouls. He then made a swing and miss with a slider and struck out two batters in a row.
On this day, Jung Cheol-won's maximum fastball speed was 147 kilometers. He combined eight fastballs, three sliders, and three forks.
Jung Cheol-won moved from Doosan to Lotte Giants in a trade after last season. Doosan sent Jung Chul-won and infielder Jeon Min-jae, and received outfielder Choo Jae-hyun and pitcher Kim Min-seok Choi Woo-in from Lotte.
Jung Cheol-won, who joined Doosan in the second round (20th overall) of the rookie draft in 2018, made his first team debut in 2022 after completing his military service. Jeong Cheol-won, who was playing a daring game with a fast ball of more than 150km, climbed to the 'New King' with 23 holds.

Choo Jae-hyun and Kim Min-seok stood out by receiving MVP awards at the first Australian Sydney spring camp and the second Japanese Miyazaki spring camp, respectively. In particular, Kim Min-seok, who joined the first round of the 2023 Rookie Draft (third overall), showed his potential to become a main outfielder in Doosan by playing with two hits and two RBIs against the Cheongju Hanwha Eagles on the 9th.
It's still before the season, but the trade addition seems to be gradually moving toward Doosan. However, Jung Chul-won's 'Three-Strike Show' was enough to make Lotte laugh.
After the game, Jung Cheol-won said "I was very nervous because it was the first mound I went up wearing Lotte uniform from my job, but I think I threw well for that matter."
However, he reflected on the leadoff batter's walk. Jung Cheol-won said, `I will continue to try to reduce the leadoff batter's walk, and I will work hard to win the team.'
