KIA saved Oh Won-seok.
1 time when neither side scored. At this time, if Seung-gi tilted to one side, he would ask what you were talking about. However, due to the nature of the baseball game dominated by the flow, KIA's attack in the bottom of the first inning was too painful.
KIA Tigers lost 0-3 against KT Wiz at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 16th. Thanks to starter Nail's good pitching and Choi Won-joon's winning shot a day earlier, he failed to continue his rise with a 1-0 new victory.
On the surface, the poor batting lineup, which failed to score even a point due to KT starter Oh Won-seok, was the cause of the defeat. In fact, KIA's batting lineup was receiving a no-hitter against Oh Won-seok until the lead Choi Hyung-woo hit a hit in the top of the seventh inning.
However, it was KIA themselves who saved Oh Won-seok. What happened.

In the bottom of the first inning, Oh confidently put his first pitch in the middle against the first-runner Park Chan-ho. A course that will be judged as a strike by anyone. But ABS called it a ball. First of all, Oh Won-seok made an expression of bewilderment. Catcher Jang Sung-woo also faltered because he couldn't hand the ball to Oh Won-seok. Even hitter Park Chan-ho confirmed to the dugout that it was a high ball, which made a judgment that was not convincing enough.
Oh Won-seok, who threw a low strike for the third pitch in a 2B situation. In the end, the ball was ruled a strike, and the ABS hit the high side. He gave up a walk to Park Chan-ho.
I'm not the type of player who has good control. In the meantime, there have been talks about the mentality of the match. Therefore, this decision had no choice but to be shaken. In fact, Oh Won-seok was surprised to hear that the first pitch was a ball after the game. I even thought, 'Didn't Gu Shim hear the strike call?' I was a little shaken, but I was glad that I overcame the crisis well," he said frankly.

Oh Won-seok also went to the full count against No. 2 Oh Sun-woo. He checked the runner four times against Oh Sun-woo. It meant that he wasn't able to hold his mind that much.
But an unexpected situation occurred. Oh Won-seok, whose control was shaken, threw a lot of high balls in a full count situation. If it had been a walk, KT and Oh Won-seok would have been in a major crisis with no outs and runners on first and second bases.
Here, KIA has two painful scenes. First, Oh Seon-woo couldn't stand this ball. It could have been an eye-watering height, but if you were aware that Oh Won-seok's control was shaking, you should have endured it in preparation for the possibility of a ball. However, Oh Seon-woo, who lacked experience, struck out.

Since the KIA bench was a full count, it seems that they signed a hit-and-run. First baseman Park Chan-ho played. However, Park Chan-ho, who saw Oh Sun-woo unable to make contact, ran to second base and quickly returned to first base. Jang Sung-woo's throw to second base was unstable, so he could have survived if he played until the end. In the absence of contact, if he had judged that his start was slow, he would have been able to return to first base, but it was a misjudgment. It was already too late to go back. Oh was killed sideways at the first base. He saved Oh Won-seok, who was shaking like that. It was a match that came out early. Oh Won-seok's no-hit and two wins of the season were achieved until the sixth inning.
