It's on the verge of losing, but it's okay. Three hits and two runs in the first inning, and no hit until the fifth inning, as the master wished. I threw my hope for the first place at 147km

Hwang Joon-seo, the No. 1 prospect of Hanwha Eagles in his second year, gave hope by throwing five solid innings against the No. 1 team.
Hwang Joon-seo started in an away game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 27th and pitched three hits, four walks, one strikeout and two runs in five innings. The team was replaced by Kim Jong-soo in the bottom of the sixth inning, trailing 1-2, and was on the verge of becoming a losing pitcher, but it was positive in that it prevented him until the fifth inning.
Hwang Joon-seo has been preparing for the first team by steadily starting in the Futures League this season. And when Um Sang-baek was sluggish, he came up to the first team and made his first start against the NC Dinos on the 21st. At that time, he allowed two hits, two walks, four strikeouts, and two runs (one earned run) during three ⅓ innings.
Before the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `I'll see if he throws well with his star quality in the wide stadium"I didn't finish the 5th inning in the last game, but this time, I hope you can finish the 5th inning and win the game yourself." he said.
The first inning was difficult. Both Moon Sung-joo and No. 2 Kim Hyun-soo were well caught with outfield flies, but they were shaken by the left-handed hit by No. 3 Austin. During Moon Bo-kyung's at-bat on the 4th, Austin advanced to the 2nd base with a fastball that the ball fell back. Hwang Joon-seo, who lost one point after being hit by Moon Bo-kyung to the right, then allowed Park Dong-won to walk and allowed another point after being hit by Koo Bon-hyuk to the left. Hwang Jun-seo, who gave up another walk to Shin Min-jae and loaded the bases with two outs, fortunately caught Park Hae-min with a ground ball in front of the shortstop to prevent additional runs.
After overcoming the big crisis, it has rather been resolved. Hwang Jun-seo, who finished the bottom of the second inning with three outs, allowed a walk to Moon Bo-kyung after one out at the bottom of the third inning, but handled both Park Dong-won and Koo Bon-hyuk with a fly, and in the bottom of the fourth inning, he gave up a walk to Park Hae-min after one out and allowed a steal to the second base, but caught the steal to the third base with a threat. The bottom of the fifth inning ended with the second three-way exit. Coach Kim stably blocked 84 pitches until the fifth inning, which he wanted.
He sprayed 52 fastballs of up to 147km and threw 28 fork balls of 134km to block LG batters with two pitches. Added 3 curves and 1 slider to this.
Regardless of the pitching on the day, the starting lineup for Sunday (against Changwon NC on the 1st) was confirmed. Manager Kim said "Unless there is a special problem with the pitchers, according to the rotation...Hwang Jun-seo will take the mound as it is." Good pitching on the day is expected to raise expectations for the NC match.
