His player applied for Sangmu and fell out, and the coach smiled "It's good for me personally."

This is what NC Dinos manager Lee Ho-joon said about bullpen pitcher Son Joo-hwan.

Son Joo-hwan (23) is growing from NC to a reliable man. Sohn Joo-hwan, who graduated from Mulgeum High School and Dong-A University and joined as the 55th in the sixth round last year, lost one game and had a 9.82 ERA in four games last year, and was not initially a candidate for the first-team bullpen this season. But now he is pitching at an important moment.




Manager Lee was not on the list during the first camp. During the second camp, Lee Jae-hak was left out and recommended him as the best player in the second team"I asked him to join the second camp without much expectation, but his arrest was okay. And he threw it coolly, regardless of whether it hit or not. That's why I fell in love with him, he said.

But it turned out that even if I wanted to use it, I couldn't use it all season. Director Lee said, `I have applied to the business office and if I pass, I have to go in May. So I said okay, but it fell off. So, personally, Son Joo-hwan is very useful, saying 'Good for you'" It can be a multi-inning team, and it can be a chasing team and a winning team with one inning. Thanks to Ju Hwan, we were able to do well in the beginning" heaped praise on the compliment. His strength is his aggressive pitching. The director is "very aggressive." He said, "It seems like I'm making better results because I just throw it."

In two games against the LG Twins, I blocked all of them.

In the game on the 22nd, he came up after starter Shin Min-hyuk after two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning with a 4-3 lead and caught Koo Bon-hyuk with a shortstop line drive. On the 23rd, he prevented additional runs. Coach Lee immediately raised Son Joo-hwan as starter Logan Allen gave up one run in the bottom of the fifth inning and continued the crisis with one out and runners on first and third bases. Son Joo-hwan caught Koo Bon-hyuk with a fly to shortstop and struck out Lee Joo-heon with a swing and miss. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he struck out Park Hae-min and gave up a walk to Shin Min-jae, but he finished his mission by catching Song Chan-ui and Moon Sung-joo with infield ground balls in turn.

Son Joo-hwan, who catches both right and left-handed batters with a fast fastball of nearly 150 kilometers, a slider of 130 kilometers, and two-pitch, has a two-win, two-hold ERA of 0.00 in 11 appearances this season. He pitched 12 innings and had just three hits. He gave up three walks, struck out six, and has no run yet.

The on-base allowance per inning (WHIP) is 0.50, and the hit rate is only 79, which is less than 10%. He's continuing to throw salty water.




This is the record that coach Lee has to say "Good for you" when Son Joo-hwan fell from Sangmu. Even if he got in, he is throwing well enough to prevent him from joining the army. Cinderella was not in the plan but suddenly came out. The discovery of Son Joo-hwan, who did not miss the opportunity that came once while building up his skills, is a great pleasure and appreciation for the coach.
