"Throwing well...."

Park Joo-sung (25, Kiwoom Heroes) recorded five hits (one home run), two walks, one strikeout and one run in five innings against SSG Landers at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 19th.

Park Joo-sung, who wore a Kiwoom uniform as the first designated rookie draft in 2019, received high scores due to his stable control and fastballs in the mid-140km range.




Park Joo-sung also expressed his determination, saying, `It will be a bullpen axis,' but he played only 31 relief games before this season.

He joined the Sangmu Baseball Team in 2023 and returned from military service, and this year, he also faced the season as a long relief, failing to leave a noticeable performance with a 7.36 ERA in nine games. He pitched a long inning, but he went back and forth between the first and second teams as the runs continued except for one game.

After scoring two runs in four innings against KT on May 24, he was called up in time for the match against SSG on the 19th. Foreign player Kenny Rosenberg's injury created a hole in the starting position, and Park Joo-sung filled the position.

First start since debut. Park showed the reason for the first nomination. The maximum speed was 147km, and five innings were erased by mixing sliders and fork curves.

The batters also scored one run each in the first and third innings, giving them a winning pitcher requirement. However, a tie home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning failed to win, and the team eventually lost 2-4 after extra time.

Park Joo-sung was excluded from the first team entry on the 20th, the next day. It can be used in the bullpen, but it's because I've seen enough potential as an alternative starting resource. Kiwoom recently hired Lachlan Wells as a short-term replacement for Kenny Rosenberg, who was out due to injury. Wells will make his debut on the 25th or so.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, "When Wells comes, all the starting positions will be filled. "I threw well so that I could prepare in the Futures League so that I could call up when I needed an alternative starter, but I excluded it from the first-team entry for now."

Meanwhile, with Park Joo-sung out, 'Playing Coach'Lee Yong-kyu was registered as a first-team player in about 40 days.

Lee Yong-kyu, who is playing coach this season, is batting .207 in nine games in the first team.

Coach Hong said, `I'm getting along well with the players, and I continued training as if it were a real game. "I was excluded from the first-team entry because my pace dropped as I went to the game, but I thought I needed the driving force to put in the team, so I called up."
