The importance of starting by Hanwha and Kiwoom.
The long-term professional baseball race is called 'starting play'.
That's inevitable. The most likely to win a game is when the starting pitcher throws six to seven innings stably. Even if there are not enough pitchers, baseball can win by bursting the bat, but hitting has ups and downs. No matter how outstanding a player is, a slump is bound to occur, and if it is transmitted to the entire team, 10 to 15 games are often painful.
When any team has such a period, a team with a strong starting lineup holds out. Because you can make a winning game even if you draw two or three points. Then you won't lose in a row. On the contrary, when the batters survive like active volcanoes, it means that they can win long consecutive games.

The rise of Hanwha Eagles is so scary. We've already won eight games in a row. Tied for first place with the LG Twins. All they say is that they are really crazy. There may be many factors in Hanwha's collapse, but in the end, it is a starter. First of all, Ace Ponce is so reliable. He has six wins and a 1.70 ERA in eight games. He is showing the ace's sample. On top of that, Weiss also won five games in eight games, so it seems that the renewal of the contract is going to be a huge success.

Ryu Hyun-jin's 4-1 record and 2.91 ERA in 8 games and Moon Dong-ju's 3-1 record and 3.30 ERA in 6 games, so even if "78 billion won FA" Um Sang-baek is sluggish with 1 win, 3 losses and a 5.06 ERA, there is no telling. For the weak team, if a large FA player is sluggish, the entire team will shake. However, if the lineup explodes in the game where Um Sang-baek comes out and the bullpen holds out well, Hanwha becomes a team that cannot win.

On the contrary, if you look at the Kiwoom Heroes, you feel so sorry for them. Even after last year, you can immediately see how big the Heyesus one-two punch was when you prepare for this season. Kiwoom gave up renewing their contracts with the two. No matter how well you throw it, you can't win if you don't hit the bat, so I chose two foreign hitters.
But it was too much. After all, a long-term race is a pitcher, as mentioned above. In the meantime, Rosenberg, who has been selected as an ace, is not the type to overwhelm the opponent, so it is difficult for Ha Young-min, the native ace, to endure alone. The reality is that there are no three to five starters. Kim has seven losses in eight games. But he can't take it out of the rotation. This is because there are no suitable alternative resources. That's how the team loses.
