"Because of the home run..."

Can we see Jung Woo-joo's last appearance in the first half of the Hanwha Eagles 'Special Rookie'.

Jung Woo-joo joined the first team ahead of the KIA Tigers match at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 8th. Jung Woo-joo is a promising fastball player who Hanwha picked as the second fastest player in this year's rookie draft. Since his high school days, Jung has drawn attention by throwing fastballs that measure more than 155 kilometers. He also tried to advance to the Major League, and Hanwha enjoyed the luck.




Jung Woo-joo's fast ball is as good as a pro right away. So he joined the opening entry and was with the first-team squad until the 10th of last month. But the professional wall was high. The seniors were not easy. He needed a 4.91 ERA adjustment period of 29 games with two wins and three holds. Coach Kim Kyung-moon's judgment that it was time to take a break once led him to the second division.

It's been a long time since I came up to the first team. Ahead of the game on the 8th, head coach Kim said, `We will look for Jung Woo-ju's opportunity to take the mound.' For motivation, he expressed his willingness to take the mound in a less burdensome situation.

Hanwha took a big lead by scoring 13 points through the fifth inning. In the end, he won 14 to 8. However, Jung Woo-joo did not take the mound.

Coach Kim, who met ahead of the KIA match on the 9th, said "I missed the chance to put Jung Woo-joo in by hitting a grand slam by the opponent Wisdom in the eighth inning." Hanwha led 14-3 ahead of the top of the eighth inning. In the eighth inning, Kim Jong-soo replaced Pil Seung-jo. If Kim Jong-soo stopped the eighth inning without difficulty, he planned to raise Jung Woo-joo in the ninth inning.

However, Kim Jong-soo allowed Wisdom to load the bases, allowing five runs. The gap was narrowed to six points.

I didn't think Jung Woo-joo would give 6 points. However, even if only two or three points were given, the game became tight, and other must-win groups and closer Kim Seo-hyun had to warm up and play. Therefore, Kim raised his main phenomenon in the ninth inning.




Director Kim expressed regret, saying, `I wanted to let Jung Woo-joo throw it in a comfortable situation because it's been a long time since he came back, but I couldn't do it yesterday.' It may not be easy to get a chance in the remaining two games against KIA. Both teams are in the final all-out battle of the first half. Coach Kim said, `We have to prepare for the game thinking that we will go very tight in both games.' In the end, it is expected that Jung Woo-ju will be able to be seen when it is far ahead or far behind.
