It's a steel plate with an early impact.

NC Dinos Mok Ji-hoon, who won his first memorable professional win against KT Wiz. This time, KT came across as a nightmare.

Mok Ji-hoon started the game against KT at Changwon NC Park on the 24th. First appearance in the second half. He started 11 games in the first half and came out as a relief in one game, showing a solid performance with 3 wins and 4 losses. With the team losing three consecutive games, NC had high expectations because it was Mok Ji-hoon. He won his first career win against KT this year, and he was very strong with one win and one loss with a 2.45 ERA in three games against KT. Before the game, head coach Lee Ho-joon also said, `I hope Mok Ji-hoon throws well against KT, who shows strong performance" revealed the wind.




But the expectations collapsed in the first inning. He didn't last the first inning. ⅔Inning four hits, one walk, and four runs (three earned runs) in shock.

I was nervous from the start. He started with a triple on the right wing by top hitter Kim Min-hyuk. It was okay to induce No. 2 Kang Baek-ho to ground out to first base. I gave one point, but I just had to start again.

However, it began to shake more rapidly, allowing No. 3 Ahn Hyun-min to hit left-handed. He gave up four pitches to Junghoon Lee, and allowed back-to-back timely hits to Jang Sung-woo and Heo Kyung-min. When Huh Kyung-min hit, he played a home game and even shortstop Kim Joo-won's error turned the first and second bases into second and third bases. And he even gave up a sacrifice fly to Kim Sang-soo.




When the fourth run came out, manager Lee Ho-joon quickly changed the pitcher to a former civilian. Fortunately, Jeon Sa-min barely finished the first inning by catching Oh Yoon-seok with an infield grounder.

Mok Ji-hoon shot a maximum of 146 kilometers in a fastball on the day, but the ball was weak overall. It wasn't even controlled. KT hitters continued to hit hard enough to give a feeling that they were supporting and hitting at perfect timing.

Mok Ji-hoon threw the least as a starter this year in two ⅔ innings. There were two times, and unfortunately, on this day, he made a 'black history' against KT.
