Did he really become a glasses ace. Lotte Giants' Park Se-woong once again heated up Lotte fans with repeated good pitching.
Park Se-woong faced KT ace William Cuevas in the first game of a doubleheader against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 11th.
It was Park Se-woong's complete victory in the selection fight alone. Park Se-woong tied KT's batters to just four hits and one walk during six innings, allowing one run. Eight strikeouts are a bonus.
It's Park Se-woong, who worked harder than anyone to raise the vertical movement of his fastball last winter. With the results, he was reborn as a real league-class ace by shaking off embarrassing modifiers such as 'when it's good', 'when it's good', and 'when it's good'.
The release point was raised by about 10cm. Staminer was considered a good starter before, but now it is complete enough to throw a fastball in the late 140km range in the sixth and seventh innings. The maximum speed of 150km is not a problem, but it has been upgraded to a higher level so that the average speed of the speed exceeds 147km.

The vertical movement is 50cm, an improvement of 9cm from last year (41cm). As a result, it evolved into a rising fastball that seemed to rise in front of the batter, and the effect of controlling the speed of fork balls, curves, and sliders, which are the main weapons, became more powerful.
Park Se-woong's ball power was also shown in the match. He overwhelmed the opponent's batters by mixing up to 149km fastballs (42) with sliders (32), folk balls (21) and curves (7).
In the bottom of the first inning with Jeon Joon-woo's home run leading 3-0, he gave up his first run as the ball fell out of the first base in the process of allowing Kim Min-hyuk's Rojas a consecutive hit after one out and Ahn Hyun-min's grounder to the second base leading to a double play.
However, the loss was followed by a powerful pitch that should be forgotten. The second and third innings ended with a three-way exit.

He allowed a walk and a hit after two outs in the fourth inning, but struck out Kwon Dong-jin to end the inning. In the 5th episode, he made a three-way exit. Kim Min-hyuk also allowed a hit and a stolen base in the sixth inning, but escaped the crisis by striking out Rojas Ahn Hyun-min one after another.
Park Se-woong, who also took the mound in the seventh inning, struck out Jang Sung-woo, the first batter, and was replaced. As the last ball was a 148km fastball, the strong ball was always outstanding.
Yeonho and standing ovation poured in from the packed stands of 18,700 people toward Park Se-woong heading to the dugout. It was a passion for the 'Glasses Ace' that would present Lotte with its first autumn baseball in eight years, perhaps the first in 23 years.
