After recording one win and one loss in the opening two consecutive games against KT Wiz, he lost three consecutive games to LG due to the silence of the lineup. At that time, the team hit rate in five games was only 129. He had a total of 20 hits in five games. He only scored nine points. In particular, LG lost 0-5, 0-4, and 1-2 to LG, completely failing to target the LG mound.
At that time, fans voiced the need to raise a player who had been performing well in the second division, but manager Kim Kyung-moon believed in the batters and showed his determination to push ahead without changing the entry.
Rather, the mound was repaired. Prior to the game against LG on March 27, he called up starter Moon Dong-ju to the first team, lowering his closer Joo Hyun-sang to the second team. Joo Hyun-sang, who blocked Hanwha's back door well with an 8-4 record, 23 saves and 2 holds an ERA of 2.65 last year, was unstable in the opening two consecutive games.
He took the mound for a save in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead against KT on the 22nd, and was hit by a solo shot to the left by the leader Kim Sang-soo. Kang Baek-ho also had a hit, but he saved without losing a point. The next day, I had a bitter taste of defeat in front of the draw. In the bottom of the 11th inning of extra time, when the score was tied 4-4, the first change-up thrown to Chun Sung-ho became a hit ball, and the 144km fastball thrown to Bae Jeong-dae became a finishing double in left-center.
And in the match against LG in Jamsil on the 26th, he took the mound as an intermediate game with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, trailing 0-2, but even this was not good with three hits, one walk and two runs in ⅓ innings.
Coach Kim Kyung-moon eventually made a decision the next day and selected Kim Seo-hyun as a new finish as he lowered the main phenomenon to the second division. At the time, coach Gam said, "(Kim) Seo-hyun was thought of finishing it at the end of last year. Of course, Seohyun seemed a bit unfamiliar thenHe said he had been thinking about Kim Seo-hyun's closing appointment since last year, adding that it is not easy to finish. Seo-hyun's throwing in the seventh inning and finishing in the ninth inning will be burdensome, but I decided to look at it big" he said.
Coach Kim said in the beginning of the season, `Our starters are better than other teams,' adding "We can use our starters to win consecutive games later." That's why you need to manage the bullpen well" he said. When a good starter created a chance to win, he needed a bullpen to protect his victory, and he selected Kim Seo-hyun, who showed good pitching, early on.
And Kim Seo-hyun has now become one of the top contributors to Hanwha's lead. He has one loss, 11 saves and one hold with an ERA of 0.46 in 21 games. Blon kept all the wins without a save.
Hanwha's strength is the mound rather than hitting. have a strong protective power. Five starters and the bullpen are clearly blocking the opponent's batters and scoring points that the batters can win with their power.
Hanwha's ERA is 3.16, ranking second after KT (3,11). He ranks eighth overall in his team's batting average of 24.4 percent. He clearly shows that the power of the mound is great.
Manager Kim focused on the mound from the beginning, and the result is the current No. 1.
