Even if I pitch perfectly today, I'll go to the second division no matter what. Why?

NC Dinos head coach Lee Ho-joon predicted the second leg. NC's rising star Shin Young-woo will take the mound as a starting pitcher against the KIA Tigers at Changwon NC Park on the 14th.
Shin Young-woo, who had a good record as a dispatched player in the Australian Baseball League (ABL) earlier this year, started the season a little late due to elbow inflammation. Shin Young-woo, who finished quenching in the Futures League, came to the first team once at the end of April and threw two games as a mid-game, and went down to the second team again and went through a readjustment period.
And Shin Young-woo, who finished warming up as a starter again, took the mound as a starting pitcher against the Daegu Samsung Lions on the 8th and pitched 'no hit' with seven strikeouts, two walks, four outs and one run in five innings. Although it was regrettable that the four pitches led to a loss, and he took the loss instead of winning because he did not receive scoring support, it was a pitching that could see hope.

Coach Lee, who met ahead of the game on the 14th, said, `Young-woo finished talking with the pitching coach by subtracting even if he did a perfect job today,' adding, `I'm going to use Mok Ji-hoon and Shin Young-woo in this way. I don't know how Young-woo will throw today, but even if I throw well, I'm going to go down to the second division again when it's good, have a period of adjustment, and prepare for another first-team start."
In fact, he joins the starting rotation that gives him a little more time to rest. The same goes for Mok Ji-hoon, who showed good pitching in May. After two consecutive wins, he was excluded from the entry as he lost three consecutive games, but he judged that he did not have a certain physical strength yet.
As they are promising players, they will take turns to exclude them from the entry and have enough preparation time to manage them so that they do not collapse.
