Um Sang-baek started the home game against KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 25th and allowed four hits, two walks, and six strikeouts and one run in six innings.
He pitched six innings for the first time during his fifth appearance this season, and he also allowed one run for the first time. However, Hanwha hitters were completely blocked by KT starter Cho Hyung-joon and were on the verge of losing the game as they came down from a 0-1 deficit.
Um Sang-baek, who joined the team in 2015 and threw only at KT Wiz until last season, became a FA and moved to Hanwha for a total of 7.8 billion won for four years.
However, his performance early this season was not very good. He has one win, three losses and a 6.89 ERA in the game. In a home game against the NC Dinos on the 18th, he won his first game since moving to Hanwha with seven hits and four runs in five innings.
On the previous day, Hanwha returned to Daejeon after failing to win nine consecutive games by winning three to four against the Lotte Giants in Busan. Moreover, it was a burden for Um Sang-baek to take the mound because he met his mother-in-law, KT.
Um Sang-baek, who took the mound in the top of the first inning, bowed to KT's away cheering squad on the third base and thanked him for his support.
I met my teammates who fought together until last year as an opposing hitter who now has to win.
Um Sang-baek, who started by catching the lead Rojas with a fly to left field and No. 2 Kim Min-hyuk with a fly to right field in the top of the first inning, was hit by No. 3 Huh Kyung-min with a double to left-center, and allowed a walk to No. 4 Jang Sung-woo, who worked with the battery until last year, putting him on the verge of first and second bases. Hwang Jae-gyun, No. 5, was grounded out in front of the shortstop to end the first inning without allowing a run.

Um Sang-baek, who later took a swing and miss strikeout from Choi Sung-min with a change-up on the fourth pitch, was hit hard by Bae Jeong-dae at No. 8 and was on the verge of the first and third bases. He struck out No. 9 Kwon Dong-jin on three pitches and got two outs. He even led a full count match against No. 1 Rojas. In the meantime, the allocation team stole second base and became second and third base, and the changeup in the sixth pitch went deep into the body and walked.
And the ball hit by Kim Min-hyuk with the bases loaded with two outs flew deep into the right-center, but right fielder Kim Tae-yeon followed it to the end and caught it, blocking another scoreless game.
After overcoming two major crises, Um Sang-baek threw better against the opponent's center hitter in the top of the third inning. He struck out Heo Kyung-min and Jang Sung-woo in a row, and treated Hwang Jae-kyun with a fly to center field to record his first three-way withdrawal.
However, in the top of the fourth inning, he gave up the first run to the bottom hitter. After receiving a left-handed hit by the leadoff sixth, Oh Yoon-seok, he became a third base with two outs with a sacrifice bunt and an infield grounder, and gave up one run to Kwon Dong-jin, the ninth. 0-1.
In the fifth and sixth innings, Shim Woo-joon, who came from KT with Um Sang-baek, continued his three-way exit with tremendous defense. In the top of the fifth inning, Shim Woo-joon caught Huh Kyung-min's left-handed hit with a diving catch and threw him out to first base, and in the top of the sixth inning, he caught Oh Yoon-seok's deep hit after one out and threw him out on a one-bound basis. In the top of the seventh inning, he was replaced by rookie Jung Woo-joo.
Um Sang-baek, who sprayed 102 balls, threw 61 changeups, more than half of 135km, and added 29 fastballs, 7 cutters, and 5 curves.
