"It's not as easy as it sounds."

Kiwoom Heroes manager Hong Won-ki expressed his regret for starting pitcher Kim Yoon-ha, who was canceled from the first team.

Kim Yoon-ha, a promising player who joined as the ninth-ranked player in the first round last year, spent his first year with a record of 1 win, 6 losses, 2 holds, and an ERA of 6.04 in 19 games. On July 25 last year, he exploded his talent by winning his first victory with two hits, three walks, four strikeouts, and no runs in seven innings against Doosan Bears in Jamsil, and has gained experience as a starting pitcher by adding three quality starts since then.




And based on that experience, he prepared from spring camp as a starting pitcher this season, and started as the third starter in the team following Kenny Rosenberg and Ha Young-min. As much as the expectations were high, the regret is also great.

Only eight losses without a win in nine games?? His ERA was 7.13. He also had two quality starts (loss of two runs in six innings against SSG on March 30 and loss of three runs in six innings against Lotte on April 29). The hit rate is 324 times and the on-base allowance per inning (WHIP) is 1.92.

On the 11th, he became the losing pitcher for the eighth time with five hits (one homer) and three walks, four strikeouts and five runs (four earned) in five innings against the Hanwha Eagles.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, `Kim Yoon-ha is going down from a reorganization point of view,' adding, `Our team has a lot of difficulties in starting, but Kim Yoon-ha needs to be overha's performance rather than continuing to throw in a bad state, and I think it will be helpful as a starter if we change the atmosphere.'

Coach Hong said, `I had a lot of expectations during the camp.' "I was looking forward to it because I watched the power analysis of the opponent team and the game plan of my own change as young as possible."Director Hong said "It's not as easy as it sounds. You have to follow a lot of luck in the game and a lot of luck in the crisis. As the bad flow continued to be repeated rather than luck, I thought that I had a lot of thoughts because it did not go according to my plan"

Nothing has yet been decided as to when to return. As for the timing of Kim Yun-ha's return, Hong said, `We will see and open up all possibilities."
