ERA 6.31 League's Most Lost Pitcher Finally Goes to the 2nd Army...The time has passed for encouragement

Kiwoom Heroes right-hander Kim Yoon-ha was finally notified of his second leg. Kiwoom canceled Kim Yoon-ha from the first-team entry before the match against the Gocheok KIA Tigers on the 25th and registered new foreign pitcher Lachlan Wells.
Kim Yoon-ha started against KIA at Gocheok on the 24th and allowed only seven hits (two home runs) with five walks and six strikeouts in four innings. Kim Yun-ha withdrew without a win or a loss, and Kiwoom won 9-6.
Kim Yoon-ha has lost 10 games without winning a single game in 15 games this season. No. 1 in the league with the most losses. Going back to last year, he has lost 15 consecutive individual starters since the Gocheok SSG Landers on August 7.
It's not just bad luck. The pitch itself was not good. This season, Kim Yun-ha recorded 71 ⅓ innings and a 6.31 ERA. The hit rate reaches 0.321. If it wasn't for Kiwoom, the last team in the league, it was impossible for Kim Yoon-ha to get this many chances to start.
Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, "(Individual selection) is losing consecutive games." In any case, it's like losing a game. The results continue to be bad, and although there is a cycle in the pitching content now, the cycle width is very large. I'll explain that it's a commonly-talked-about reorganization."

Coach Hong said, `We didn't have many starting pitchers at the beginning of the season. Of course, Wells is making his debut now, but I think Kim Yoon-ha will have to settle down to some extent in many opportunities to open our starting rotation, but I thought I should make a decision because the results are still bad. "I decided quickly ahead of the end of the first half because I thought it would be difficult to survive now in competition without any major changes."
While notifying him of the second leg, the coach called Kim Yoon-ha and did not comfort him or deliver a message. I saw that the time had already passed.
Coach Hong said, `I think it's past time to take a player and give him some encouragement or something like that. If we talk about a certain direction, it will be more complicated because he is a player with so many thoughts. I think it is enough to simply communicate with the coaches in charge to run a game or choose a game type. However, I focused on how much such a change can be seen on the mound and how persistent it is, but it seems that there is no improvement. I think we need more readjustment," he stressed.
