"I won 9 games, but just throw it away."

Park Se-woong started in an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 23rd and recorded six hits, one strikeout and one run in seven innings. It was his first pitch with no outs since the opening game and he played seven innings in two months.

From the opening until mid-May, Park Se-woong was a 'special ace'. He pitched in nine games and recorded eight wins (one loss) to build up wins quickly. However, starting with the match against Samsung (five runs in five innings) on May 17, it began to shake little by little, and the winning streak, which had been easily accumulated, was also stopped.




He won his ninth victory of the season with three runs in five ⅓ innings against KT on the 29th of last month, but collapsed with eight runs in four innings against KIA on the 5th, his last appearance in the first half.

His first appearance in the second half of the year after the All-Star break. Park Se-woong, who took a good rest, regained his power. The maximum speed was 149km, and the game was solved by mixing sliders (23), forks (22), and curves (15).

Park Se-woong, who easily played by recording 79 pitches until the sixth inning, allowed one run in the seventh inning, but eventually succeeded in winning 10 games of the season as the batters supported three points in the top of the fifth inning and one point in the top of the seventh inning.

After the game, Park Se-woong said "The team was very hard, but I feel good to be able to set the stage for victory. I just started the second half of the season, but I want to continue to work until the end of the season with good results," he said.

There was also mental distress due to the sluggishness that continued from the end of May. Park Se-woong said, `There were previously sluggish seasons, but unlike the previous season, there were many runs, and it was regrettable in that regard. I thought a lot about how to solve it"There were games that went aggressively, and there were games that didn't. There were many cases where the balls went in and were hit. There were some favorable and unfavorable counts, but in that regard, I thought it would have been nice if I could throw the ball on the course I wanted a little more" he said.

Park Se-woong continued, `I tried to find more pitching rhythms or balance that I have. In terms of ball mixing, I talked to Kangnam every day. Even before the game today, I prepared to talk about it and try to solve it well"The four pitches I threw today were well controlled. I think that led to a good result"I looked at it.




Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung turned to Park Se-woong, who had been sluggish for a long time, saying, `The same story has been said for several years,' adding, `I'm not sure about my ball.'" pointed out. A rather cold word from the head coach. However, it was Kim who waited more than anyone else for Park Se-woong's rebound.

In the cold evaluation of coach Kim, which often comes out in the media, Park Se-woong said "It may have been because my performance itself went back and forth, but thank you for always giving me faith because he said "Park Se-woong is the ace except for foreign players on our team." "When you compliment me, you compliment me not to lose your confidence, and when you scold me, you thought you had to fix it again, so I think you have affection."

He also revealed an anecdote. Park Se-woong said "After the last throw of the first half, I met the director at the hotel, and the director said 'You won nine games, just throw it." "Thanks to that, I feel like I can throw with confidence because I also have a part of my faith."

Manager Kim also led his team to victory by playing seven innings as a starting pitcher. I'm sure you've had a lot of worries about the game, but congratulations on winning 10 games with your performance today"I welcomed Park Se-woong's good pitching."

Park Se-woong's 10th win is the first in three years since 2022. At that time, Lotte finished the season in eighth place. With Park Se-woong's victory, Lotte is in third place, 1.5 games ahead of the fourth-place KIA Tigers. Park Se-woong said "Our team ranks higher now than three years ago. I want to prepare well for the parts that have been sluggish since the middle of the first half, finish the season higher than now, and play fall baseball"I'm determined.
