"Can newcomers continue to do well. He is still 19 years old. It's a process of growing up with a lot of attention."

There has been no victory since June. Kiwoom Heroes' rookie Chung Hyeon-woo faced a hardship.

Kiwoom Heroes head coach Hong Won-ki, who met at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 4th, is watching Jung Hyun-woo "with the hope that he will grow step by step."," he replied.




Chung Hyeon-woo became a losing pitcher against Suwon KT Wiz on the 3rd, allowing five runs with five hits, four outs and five outs in five innings, including Rojas' two-run shot.

In particular, the sudden shaking of control in the third inning and the bases loaded with no outs and no outs with three consecutive walks could not erase the feeling that 'I'm still young' The center fielder's sacrifice fly was inevitable, but the ensuing double steal between Kim Min-hyuk and Ahn Hyun-min was a stroke of God. Just by looking at his expression, he showed signs of shaking, and eventually gave up a two-run timely hit to Moon Sang-chul, who has recently been sluggish.

Director Hong Won-ki explained, "I think it's a combination of too hot weather, physical problems, and sudden difficulties." "I just gain experience and grow step by step."

In the end, the failure to take advantage of the first and second bases with one out in the top of the second inning led to the flow. If the head coach scored when Chance came, we don't know how the game would have changed. Because I didn't score, I was in a crisis and I didn't get a good result because I was chased"KT Ko Young-pyo's pitch was good, but Chung Hyun-woo threw too many balls (97 pitches) until the fifth inning, making it a difficult game in offense and defense."

There is only one quality start (against Samsung on June 27, four runs and zero earned runs in six innings), but he has thrown more than five times in six of his seven starts.

Coach Hong Won-ki said "Of course, the pitching content is important, but it's a pity to have a check that binds the runners when the fast runners go out, as they did against Samsung." Yesterday, he was also shaken rapidly after a double steal. "Even if the balance of the pitching is shaken, it is not easy to correct it. "




"It's a pity that I couldn't react as I was agitated on the mound. Through many conversations with the coach in charge, we plan to readjust it so that we don't show the same appearance next time. I'll look forward to the next game."
