"I'm so upset."

Jung Cheol-won (26), who changed his uniform to the Lotte Giants, is the busiest baseball player these days.

In April, he took the mound in nine games and allowed eight runs during seven innings, with an ERA of 10.29.




Some say that an earned run doesn't mean much to a bullpen pitcher. In other words, the record is easily misunderstood because there are few innings played and the number of games played.

Chung Chul-won is a prime example. During this period, he recorded a win, one loss, and five holds. Jung Cheol-won is always the first in winning games.

He also took the mound for two consecutive days against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 15th and 16th. On the first day, he appeared in the seventh inning with two outs and runners on the first and third bases with a score of 5-5, striking out Yeo Dong-wook. The unique fierce ceremony burst out splendidly.




However, he hit a home run by Song Sung-moon after two outs in the eighth inning. The only hit allowed on the day. Lotte won its first victory of the season when it overturned the game with Jeon Joon-woo's come-from-behind shot.

In a post-match broadcast interview, Jung Cheol-won "I'm so angry."That's why I was upset. It was a mixture of sorry and self-criticism toward the team members. Soon after the home run, Jung Cheol-won held Jeon Jun-woo's hand and greeted him 'Thank you so much'

In the game on the 16th, he took the mound in the eighth inning with a 6-2 lead. Earlier, starting Barnes pitched hard with two runs until the seventh inning. Manager Kim Tae-hyung strengthened his defense by deploying catcher Information Geun, shortstop Lee Ho-joon and left fielder Kim Dong-hyuk.




However, Jeong Cheol-won did not live up to expectations. Song Sung-moon allowed Lee Ju-hyung to hit back-to-back. After the catcher's visit to the mound, he caught Choi Joo-hwan with a foul fly, but he was hit by a two-run double that hit the fence behind left field by Cardinez.

Park Joo-hong was treated with a fly ball to left field, but the number of pitches reached 24. Lotte Bench decided to put Kim Won-joong in early. Kim Won-joong blocked well from the end of the game with two outs in the eighth inning and kept the victory.

It is noticeable that he has become more emotionally intense than in the days of Doosan. Every game, the arm falls out and strikes a fist. It is such a big move that I am worried that I might fall or get hurt. He wasn't a player who did this big ceremony 'launched' every game.

Let's be selected as the best pitcher chosen by fans. "I will repay you with a victory. I'm aiming to win. Please cheer for us until the endIt also became a hot topic when he shouted " as if he were screaming. After protecting Kim Jin-wook's victory "My brother saved his strength for you!He is also playing a role as an atmosphere maker for Lotte's dugout, bursting into laughter by saying ."

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung expressed his pride and regret when the story of Jung Chul-won came out.

"I want to do better at Lotte (as much as I've been traded). It seems that the desperation comes out in action without even realizing it. It doesn't mean you're being asked to do it on purpose. It's full of your heart."
