"I heard it's his 6th straight win."

Choi Won-tae (28, Samsung Lions) started the away game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 30th and allowed three hits, two walks, six strikeouts and one run in six ⅓ innings.

The maximum fastball speed was 148 kilometers, and the game was solved by mixing changeups (24), sliders (10), curves (5), and two-seam (4).




Choi Won-tae allowed on base in the first and second innings due to walks and hits, but Choi Won-tae, who finished the inning without losing a point, became a hit in the top of the third inning when both leading batters Jung Joon-jae and Ahn Sang-hyun were deflected off his glove. After that, Jihoon Choi's ground ball and Choi Jun-woo's sacrifice fly gave him his first run.

He gave the score, but after that, he played stably. From the fourth inning to the sixth inning, all three batters finished the inning.

Choi Won-tae, who also came to the mound in the seventh inning, grounded out leadoff hitter Han Yu-sum and walked Park Sung-han. When he hit an infield grounder from Oh Tae-gon's at-bat, he caught the ball himself and threw it to second base, but he eventually faced a crisis with one out and runners on first and third bases. Choi Won-tae handed over the mound to Lee Ho-sung.




Lee Ho-sung walked Cho Hyung-woo to load the bases, but a ground ball in Jung Joon-jae's at-bat led to second baseman Yang Yang-geun's accurate throw home, resulting in two outs, and Ko Myung-joon also struck out. Choi Won-tae was able to finish the game without losing a point in the seventh inning.

Choi Won-tae failed to become a winning pitcher because he could only support one run with Koo Ja-wook's home run in the top of the first inning. However, one run was scored in each of the eighth and ninth innings, and Samsung held the game on the day as the bullpen settled the remaining innings without allowing a run.

a six-game winning streak. Samsung has won six consecutive games in 3,505 days since September 17-24, 2015 (the match between SK and Suwon KT).




The KBO League will enter nine consecutive games as the game is organized because Children's Day is Monday on May 5. the first day of a nine-game series. Choi Won-tae relieved the bullpen's burden by pitching quality starts (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs).

After the game, Choi Won-tae said, "It was a nine-game series, so I wanted to throw more than six innings. I made a bad mistake in the seventh inning, but I'm glad the team won."

He left Lee Ho-sung to finish the seventh inning and came down the mound. Choi Won-tae said "I wanted him to stop me. If I played a double play, the inning was over, but I got over (the mound)," he said. "There was a saying that it was a six-game winning streak, but even before that, I got hit by two gloves." But I thought (Lee Ho-sung) would do a good job of blocking it" he said.

Choi Won-tae, who became an FA after last season, signed a four-year contract with Samsung for a total of 7 billion won. My first year at Samsung. With a unique sense of responsibility, it has already perfectly melted into the team. Choi Won-tae said, `I thought I should throw more than six innings because it's a nine-game series, so I shouldn't consume a lot of bullpen.'

He also thanked catcher Kang Min-ho, who worked with him on this day. Choi Won-tae " (Kang) Min-ho really led well. I wouldn't have done it without MINO"There are times when Minho gives an autograph and I shake my head, but if the same sign comes out, press it again. That's when I keep getting out. My choice was wrong and Minho got it right. I am grateful for your help. Even if there is a fast runner, Minho's shoulders are good, so I think I can catch it if I don't lose the timing, so I think it's a good thing."
