Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon, who looks at more than just autumn baseball, firmly believes in the value of Um Sang-baek.

Eom Sang-baek, an FA pitcher recruited by Hanwha on the condition of up to 7.8 billion won for four years to reinforce the mound ahead of this season. Cody Ponce, Ryan Weiss, Ryu Hyun-jin, and Moon Dong-ju have played a key role in the league's strongest starting lineup, but they are experiencing an unexpected slump this season.

He also went to the second division to readjust, but ended up moving his position to the bullpen in the second half as he won only one game in the first half. Hwang Joon-seo received a chance to start, and Um Sang-baek made two appearances as a long relief when the starting pitcher went down faster than expected.




He was sluggish with six runs in two ⅔ innings against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 23rd, his first appearance since the conversion of long relief, but he succeeded in making up for it by pitching two scoreless innings against Daejeon SSG Landers on the 26th, his second appearance.

When Ryu Hyun-jin struggled with five runs in the top of the first inning, the Hanwha bench replaced the pitcher with Um Sang-baek ahead of the top of the second inning. Um Sang-baek played a significant role in cooling the heated atmosphere of SSG. After allowing one walk in the top of the second inning, he ended the inning without allowing a run, and he also handled it neatly in the third inning with three outs.

In the top of the fourth inning, Hanwha allowed consecutive hits to Lee Ji-young and Jung Joon-jae, and when they reached the first and second bases with no outs, Hanwha replaced the pitcher again with Kim Jong-soo, and later prevented the crisis by allowing no runs. Although the finish was disappointing, it is meaningful that it was the first scoreless game for Um Sang-baek this season.




Um Sang-baek's poor performance this season is not just a matter of ball power and ball. Rather, the ball power is also powerful to the opposing team. However, from the beginning of the season, bad results continue, and the situation of not being lucky is repeated, and there is a side that shrinks itself. The evidence is that the pattern of self-destruction suddenly repeats at one point even though he throws a good pitch. The mental side is closer to the cause. It is also an inevitable part because I feel the burden and responsibility as much as I transferred the team with good treatment.

However, head coach Kim Kyung-moon continues to deliver a positive message to Um Sang-baek. Manager Kim said, `Sangbaek is having a difficult season, and that's what Sangbaek has to overcomeHow many pitchers have experienced big games in our team. He's one of the few players."

Hanwha, which is currently the sole leader, is not just aiming to advance to fall baseball. It's the power to aim for the championship. However, most of the main players have no experience in the postseason as well as the Korean Series. On the other hand, Um Sang-baek accumulated a wealth of experience in autumn baseball, including the Korean Series and playoffs, in his former team KT Wiz.

Many pitchers have experienced and experienced how to help the team easily move toward its goal in a big match. Head coach Kim Kyung-moon is also sending faith that Um Sang-baek, who is suffering from ups and downs, will eventually be able to cheer up in a big game.

Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `Now it is a little less than our expectations and fans' expectations, but I think the time will come when one game is really important later on," he stressed.
