Cho Dong-wook became the winning pitcher against the Doosan Bears in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 11th. Cho Dong-wook pitched five innings with one run. Hanwha won the game 9 to 1.
Hanwha needed a new starter as ace Ryu Hyun-jin was out due to an adductor injury. Cho Dong-wook, who gained experience last year, was selected. Cho Dong-wook had a 3.70 ERA with three holds in 27 games and 24 ⅓ innings this season. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said Cho Dong-wook as the starting pitcher, `If you hold out for five innings, there is nothing you want.'
Cho Dong-wook finished five innings with 65 balls. It perfectly met the wishes of head coach Kim Kyung-moon. He effectively cooked Doosan's batting lineup.
Ryu Hyun-jin ordered Cho Dong-wook to throw every ball. Cho Dong-wook said "Hyun-jin told me to throw while thinking that one batter was the last." I don't want you to throw long. I don't want to look perfect. He told me to throw it thinking I was just throwing it with confidence."
Cho Dong-wook didn't think about it. Cho Dong-wook said, "I'm going to throw 5 innings. I'm going to throw 6 innings I didn't think of this. I think he threw another inning like a bullpen, thinking this was his last inning. I want to be of help to the team until Hyunjin comes back."

Cho Dong-wook once again felt that the professional world was really hard. I think it was really hard. The level of hitters is different and the schedule of playing games every day was also experienced for the first time. I thought I was fine, but I lost a lot of ball power, so I looked back.
There is no particular greed. In the given position, he silently tries to perform the role the team needs.
Cho Dong-wook said, `I'll keep my starting position It's not like this. I want to be remembered as a pitcher who can be put in at any time when there is a hole in the starter even though he is in the bullpen. If you fall out of the starting lineup, you can go to the bullpen and work hard. I just want to show you that I can do it when you give me a chance," he said emphatically.
