7.8 billion FA pitcher Um Sang-baek (29, Hanwha) was substituted once again early.

After moving to the Hanwha Eagles, all three appearances did not fill five innings.

Um Sang-baek started against Kiwoom at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 12th.




However, he went down the mound after three innings. There were a lot of pitches in 73 pitches. He continued his difficult pitching by facing a crisis in every inning with a walk and a hit. Three innings, five hits, three walks, four strikeouts, and three runs.

He threw a combination of a 148km fastball, change-up, curve, and cutter, but the pitch balance was unstable.

From the top of the first inning, the walk became a source of concern. I didn't even follow my luck.




Song Sung-moon and Choi Joo-hwan were walked, and the fastball thrown to Park Joo-hong with two outs and runners on the first and second bases became a timely hit to the left.

He quickly caught it with two outs in the top of the second inning, but lost additional points after being hit by a double by Kim Tae-jin and Song Sung-moon.

In the third inning, he also allowed a walk in the ball count in favor of Choi Joo-hwan. He allowed infield hits to Kim Woong-bin, with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. However, he escaped the crisis by striking out Park Joo-hong with a flying ball and Lim Byung-wook with a breaking ball. The first innings without a run. However, in three innings, the number of pitches has already reached 71. Long run was impossible.

When Kim Gun-hee, the lead, allowed a double to left-center in the fourth inning, Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach, headed over the mound.

I patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him for his hard work. Um Sang-baek came down the mound with a dark expression as the cloudy spring weather with rain. Lee Sang-kyu allowed Song Sung-moon to make a timely hit, allowing three runs. Hanwha is trailing 0-5 until the top of the fifth inning as Um Sang-baek was replaced early.

Before the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon mentioned Ryu Hyun-jin, who won his first win of the season with a perfect pitch the previous day with the support of the lineup, saying, `If you don't do it in time for the first time, it's very twisted. As everything went well yesterday, I hope that Um Sang-baek will win his first game today with the support of the lineup"I hoped. However, contrary to the coach's wishes, Um Sang-baek's balance was not normal. Hanwha's batters also failed to help Um Sang-baek in the beginning.

In the bottom of the first inning, Roh Si-hwan's well-hit timely hit hit went straight to the second baseman. Um Sang-baek, who gave up the first run with a missed timely hit, could have felt more comfortable if it had been tied immediately.

In the mound on the day, Um Sang-baek took on the task of restoring balance. It wasn't what I showed you last year.

The balance is shaky, so it cannot be settled where it wants to be. They can't spray it for control, but they push it. As a result, even the fast ball in the second half of the 140km fits perfectly with the batters' timing. He is inducing a misfire by changing up, but he cannot throw only breaking balls. The number of pitches keeps increasing.

Only 10 ⅔ innings were played during the three starts. 6.75 ERA with eight runs. Without a victory, there is no end to losing.

It is Um Sang-baek who needs to regain his balance and start anew as soon as possible.
