It was a life-threatening choice...

Will Lotte Giants Kim Jin-wook get a chance to start again this year.

a hard-earned comeback. Maybe that's why I was looking forward to it. He was pictured clenching his teeth and pitching. I had to change the atmosphere somehow. But there was no reversal.




Kim Jin-wook started against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 12th, but pitched the worst. Nine hits (two homers) in two innings, one strikeout and six runs. The comfort is that there was no walk, but the ball into the zone was hit hard.

I was anxious from the moment I got a two-run shot by Ahn Hyun-min in the first inning. There is also an unfair side. He threw the slider low, but Ahn Hyun-min kicked it so amazingly in a full count situation.

There was nothing to say in the second inning. He had consecutive hits, but seemed to overcome the crisis with a lucky double play to shortstop. However, he was shaken even with two outs. Kim Sang-soo hit an RBI single, and once again dedicated a three-run shot to Ahn Hyun-min. It worked a high fastball on the outside. If the ball had power, Ahn Hyun-min would not have been able to perfectly hit the ball of the course, but the ball was flat.

It was an important opportunity for Kim Jin-wook. Last year, he played a good role in the starting lineup. As a result, I was notified of my acceptance as a managing director. The other players can't go even if they want to. In a way, it could be of great help to baseball life. It was an opportunity Kim Jin-wook got with his ability.

However, he withdrew his enlistment ahead of his enlistment. In the background, there was a willingness to go around the starting rotation this year and establish a position on the team's starting lineup. Coach Kim Tae-hyung also showed something last year, so he had to give him a chance. He was selected as the opening four starters.

However, he didn't look good last year. One win and three losses in five games since the opening. In particular, in both the last two games, against the NC Dinos and the Samsung Lions, they collapsed horribly with six runs and seven runs in one ⅓ inning. No matter how much coach Kim wanted to give him a chance, the team had to live or not give him more. a second leg of the army.

Kim Jin-wook came back ready for the end of May. First of all, it was a bullpen. Then came the opportunity. Park Se-woong went down to the second division due to sluggishness, leaving one spot empty, and head coach Kim once again expressed his faith in Kim Jin-wook. His first start in 54 days. But he didn't get any better. For Lotte, every game is the final. The fight for the top ranks is too fierce. You can't afford to give players a chance and test them.

Still, manager Kim said ahead of the game that he will decide the rotation of other pitchers in the future after watching Kim Jin-wook's game today. I had a glimmer of expectation. But if you have high expectations, you will be disappointed. Will Kim Jin-wook get a chance to start again.

If you mess up this season, you may be able to pass the Sangmu again. In addition, it may be better to solve military problems when you are young, so you can only spend time. I made a life-changing choice, and the results are just so painful.
