Why was it Jeong Cheolwon in the 8th episode? Just one more pitcher... Director Kim Tae-hyung's sincerity that he heard firsthand

"I wouldn't have thought about it." If it was a five-point gap, if there was only one more pitcher..."

He made nine appearances in 15 days. In the top of the eighth inning, four points ahead, the opponent's batting line was scheduled to be 'left and left". Still, the head coach's choice was Chung Chul-won.

The results were not very good. Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 16th against Kiwoom Heroes. Jung Cheol-won took the mound in the eighth inning with a 6-2 lead.




Earlier, starting Barnes pitched hard with two runs until the seventh inning. Kiwoom's lineup was scheduled to be followed by Song Sung-moon, Lee Joo-hyung and Choi Joo-hwan.

For Lotte, it is a point where they can consider using a left-hander bullpen. Jung Hyun-soo will grow into a bridge and a long man in the future. He pitched one ⅔ inning the previous day.

If you put it in, it was Song Jae-young. However, coach Kim Tae-hyung chose Jeong Cheol-won.




As a result, Chung 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 he already had 24 pitches. Lotte Bench defended the victory by blocking Kim Won-joong, who was put in early, from the end of the game with two outs in the eighth inning.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who met before the game on the 17th, asked about Chung Cheol-won's appointment, saying, "(Kim) Won-joong can be used with two outs in the eighth inning. However, it is difficult to buy one. We need a pitcher who can stop us with two outs, and Cheorwon's role was that much yesterday", he explained.

Then "If it was a five-point difference, I could have written Song Jae-young more comfortably. Or if I could have put in Jeong Hyeon-su, I would have used it (instead of Jeong Cheol-won)," "It's important to drag anyone out there." The other pitchers sighed because they couldn't count."

In the end, other must-win pitchers such as Koo Seung-min and Choi Jun-yong should come up. Koo Seung-min has been doing well in Futures recently.

Director Kim Tae-hyung said, `First of all, I raised Park Jin-hyung, so I'll watch him throw it. It is said that the ball speed has risen a little, but isn't there another game where the starter collapses at the beginning. The bullpen has to fill the inning in the end."

Then "Park Jin is going to turn to Long. I'll hire you depending on the situation," he stressed.

What would Chung Cheol-won think. Jeong Cheol-won, whom I met at the resignation on this day, said "I'm just grateful to the director who trusted and posted it. "I'm just thankful that I can throw it for the team instead of getting tired."The ERA is a personal record. It can be lowered at any time. A team's one win is irreversible if it is missed. I want to be a player who helps the team win," he stressed.
