"Don't get stressed, recover and come back."

FA recruit Um Sang-baek went down to the second division after a slump. Take time to readjust.

Hanwha Eagles registered pitcher Lee Tae-yang in the first-team entry and canceled pitcher Um Sang-baek ahead of the game against SSG Landers at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 16th.




Um Sang-baek, who signed an FA contract for up to 7.8 billion won for four years ahead of this season, has yet to show outstanding performance in his first year of transfer. He has been sluggish with one win and four losses and an ERA of 6.68 in eight games. Of the eight games, there is only one quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs).

Hanwha had the strongest starting rotation in the league this season, leading to Cody Ponce, Ryan Weiss, Ryu Hyun-jin, Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-joo. However, coach Kim Kyung-moon also made a decision when Um Sang-baek recorded a loss with four runs in three ⅔ innings against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 9th, and five runs in two innings against the Doosan Bears in Daejeon on the 15th.

Coach Kim Kyung-moon had a meeting with Um Sang-baek after the game on the 15th.




Coach Kim Kyung-moon, who met with reporters after the match against Daejeon SSG Landers was delayed due to rain on the 16th, said "I talked with Sangbaek yesterday." I told him to take a good rest for a day or two because you seemed to be under a lot of stress.'"I also accepted (about going to the second division). I'm going to go down for about 10 days and reorganize. I think I'll skip the rotation one or two times."

Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, `Yesterday (15th) the ball power was the best I've seen this season. The ball was really good. "I think Sangbaek needs time to look back, too. I went down and turned the time all the way back and told him to put his mind down and try it."

Um Sang-baek's first-team comeback is not expected to take long. Coach Kim Kyung-moon has in mind the entry registration standard of about 10 days. Hwang Jun-seo will fill the seats without Um Sang-baek. Director Kim said "Junseo worked hard, so I'm going to give him a chance. After coming up to the first team and adjusting to the atmosphere, Sangbaek will take the mound."




He also left it up to Um Sang-baek to take the mound in the Futures League. First of all, it will be decided after discussing with the second-tier coaching staff whether to take the mound in the Futures League after a sufficient break for one or two days or to return to the first team after just recovering and recharging without taking the mound.

Hanwha is waiting for Um Sang-baek's rise. Head coach Kim Kyung-moon also stressed that `In the end, the friend (Tham Sang-baek) must cheer up and throw it so that our starting team can stand on the top.'
