With a 1-6 record and a 6.23 ERA in 14 games, it's definitely not what you expect from an FA contract pitcher.

Hanwha Eagles Um Sang-baek is struggling. Um Sang-baek started the home game against the NC Dinos at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 3rd and retired with five hits, one strikeout, two walks, and three runs 'Nodisi' in three ⅔ innings.

It shook from the first inning. Um Sang-baek, who allowed NC's No. 1 hitter Kim Joo-won to hit right in the top of the first inning immediately after the start of the game, gave up a walk in the match against Son Ah-seop without stopping him from stealing the second base. He caught 2S with a changeup, but he showed difficulty in controlling the ball as a series of balls that the batter was unlikely to be deceived at all.




He had a hard one-out against Park Min-woo with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, but after one out, Oh Young-soo hit an RBI timely hit and allowed the third baseman to score with a double steal. The worst happened one after the other. In addition, Um Sang-baek, who gave up a walk against Park Gun-woo and accumulated runners, ended the first inning with difficulty by inducing a fly ball and a ground ball against Kim Hui-jip and Seo Ho-cheol.

Fortunately, after allowing two runs in the top of the first inning, Hanwha's batters immediately tied the score 2-2 at the bottom of the first inning. Um Sang-baek also quickly caught the out count again from the second inning. He got a hit by Kim Joo-won after two outs, but did not lose a point. In the 3rd round, Park Min-woo~Oh Young-soo~

The first three-and-out came against the center hitters leading to Park Kun-woo.

But the bench's patience did not last long. He got a hit by leadoff hitter Kim Hwi-jip in the top of the fourth inning, and Seo Ho-chul's sacrifice bunt gave him one out and second base. Let's give Kim Hyung-joon a hit ball back to the first and second bases. Han Suk-hyun struck out, but he was also beaten again by Kim Joo-won, who had a hit in both of the previous at-bats.




Um Sang-baek allowed an RBI come-from-behind double to center field after being hit by a slider thrown by Kim Joo-won at the full count. Hanwha's bench did not wait any longer, but put down Um Sang-baek and replaced the pitcher with Cho Dong-wook.

After a super-contest, the two teams drew 7-7 in the 11th inning of extra time. A game that is regrettable from Hanwha's point of view and NC's point of view.

Above all, however, Hanwha's concerns about taking the mound deepened. Um Sang-baek, who was considered the biggest FA pitcher last winter, is a pitcher who won 10 games twice as a starter. Last year, just before the FA, he also established himself as a veteran starting pitcher with 13 wins (10 losses).

Hanwha recruited Um Sang-baek, who was an outside FA, for a huge amount of up to 7.8 billion won for four years to build a level of power that can eventually challenge to win the championship. Ponce-Wice has the strongest one-two punch in the league, and with Ryu Hyun-jin in good shape, Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-joo as the 4th and 5th starters, he is a member who can even aim for an overwhelming victory.

However, he has won only one game in 14 games since his transfer. Um Sang-baek's performance, which has only two quality starts (more than six innings and less than three earned runs), puts the team's worries deeper. The first win of the season against NC on April 18 and the last start to date. There has been no win for nearly three months.

While going down to the second division once and readjusting, he vowed to avenge his honor more than anyone else, but he has not been able to consistently show stable pitching.
