"I threw a ball close to perfection in a bullpen or practice game."
SSG Landers are auditioning for the fifth starter in the exhibition game. Two foreign players and Kim Kwang-hyun and Moon Seung-won have been confirmed. Park Jong-hoon (34), Song Young-jin (21), Chung Dong-yoon (28) and Kim Gun-woo (23) are competing in the remaining seats. As foreign player Mitch White leaves due to injury, the starting candidate needs to play. Kim Gun-woo was impressed.
Kim Gun-woo started the exhibition game against the Hanwha Eagles at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 10th and recorded two hits and one strikeout in three innings. The maximum speed came out to 147km.
Coming up to the second and third bases with one out in the top of the fourth inning, he was doubled by Shim Woo-joon, but he returned both subsequent batters with a fly ball. It was neat in the fifth inning. After striking out foreign hitter Esteban Floral, he finished the inning by turning both Noh Si-hwan and Chae Eun-sung into infield flies. In the top of the sixth inning, a hit came out after one out, but the inning of three batters ended with a double play.Kim Gun-woo, who threw a total of 36 pitches, handed over the mound to Choi Hyun-suk in the top of the seventh inning.
SSG manager Lee Soo-yong said, `Kim Gun-woo threw near perfection in bullpen or practice games. At the game, I wondered what the picture would be like, but it was an exhibition game, but he pitched aggressively as he wanted and showed the maximum performance he could" smiled.

The first exhibition game since our debut. Kim Gun-woo played in an exhibition game for the first time since joining the professional league. I played the game thinking it was the regular season. I'm satisfied because I showed what I wanted to show on the mound."
The part that I was satisfied with was that I fought the batter properly. He emphasized "Kyung Heon-ho's pitching coach 'aggressive pitching'." I tried to pitch without being intimidated as much as I could. "I threw the ball more boldly so that I wouldn't be pushed back in the fight against the opponent on the mound." "When I played a practice game against Samsung in Okinawa, I couldn't pitch properly because I thought I wouldn't fit too much, but today I threw the ball with the intention of throwing only as the catcher asked me to do." I pitched with the thought of not giving him a walk, and he said, "I got a good result."
What surprised me most was arrest. Kim Gun-woo "Originally, it was only in the early 140km before the opening, but this time, the ball speed was taken more. I think the restraint will rise further as the weather gets warmer. Previously, when pitching, the upper body tended not to be directed towards the catcher. This year, I paid more attention to upper body movement and tried to minimize head movement. "I changed the direction of using my strength, and the speed is better." "I want to try 150 kilometers."."
His confidence went up with his arrest. Kim Gun-woo said "As the ball speeds up, I gain more confidence. It is also true that the opposing team did not have a lot of my information yet, so it was more advantageous. "If I trim the breaking ball more and make sure to fit the crystal ball in the future, I think I'll be able to pitch better."

The catcher who worked together on this day is Lee Ji-young. He is 16 years older than Jemulpo High School. Kim Gun-woo "He's such a senior. It was better to throw the ball with my alma mater senior. The senior strongly ordered 'Keep sticking because the ball is good now. Thank you for telling me the best I can without asking for anything difficult"Thank you."
