Song Seung-ki, the fifth starter of the LG Twins, allowed six hits (two home runs), two walks, seven strikeouts and three runs in five innings against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th. Opponent starter Ryan Weiss allowed two runs in six innings, and after that, both teams' bullpens blocked no runs, the game ended 2-3, and Song Seung-ki lost, and Weiss became the winning pitcher.
Song Seung-ki recorded 2 wins and 2 losses this season, and his ERA increased from 2.51 to 2.94.
Song Seung-ki continued his good pitching even though he entered the starting rotation for the first time this season, and was evaluated as "the same fifth starter as the first starter." There were doubts that he performed well because he pitched all five previous games only in Jamsil. It was important to be able to throw well even in an unfamiliar away stadium.
On the same day, Song Seung-ki threw 43 fastballs, half of which were up to 148km, and added 14 137km sliders, 16 133km changeups, 11 130km folk balls, and two 119km folk balls to face Hanwha batters.
In the bottom of the second inning, Lee Jae-won was allowed a sacrifice fly with one out and runners on the first and third bases, and in the fourth inning with a 2-1 lead, Lee Jin-young and Shim Woo-joon were hit by one solo shot and were upset. However, it was the away game that gave up only two walks and showed stable control at Daejeon's new stadium, which he stepped on for the first time. His ball power and control were so good that he recorded seven strikeouts and recorded his highest strikeout tie.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said of Song Seung-ki, `You only have to give him four walks.' `The vertical movement of the fastball is very good, and because he throws both change-ups and folk balls, he can throw a ball that works well between the two on that day. In the case of a curve, the angle is very good if it goes low. Each pitch has good pitch value, so if you reduce the number of walks, you can see that the day goes well."
He pitched on par with Hanwha's foreign pitcher Weiss, and Song Seung-ki's pitching led the game to a close game of one point. If Song Seung-ki had collapsed, it would have tilted toward Hanwha early. Unfortunately, he became a losing pitcher, but he clearly had some income.
The next game will be in Jamsil against the Doosan Bears on Children's Day on May 5 as scheduled. There may be a burden on Children's Day, but it is a familiar game in Jamsil, so you can look forward to it.
