Moon Dong-joo of the Hanwha Eagles is showing an unstoppable rise in the second half of the year. At the Jamsil LG match on the 10th, when the team took the mound with three consecutive losses, he led his team to a 5-4 victory with five hits, three walks, five strikeouts, and two runs in six innings, breaking his team's losing streak and winning his ninth victory of the season.

There is improved data in this improved grade. Naturally, the restraint has improved. The KT Wiz match held in Daejeon on the 5th marked the highest arrest of the year. At that time, he pitched seven scoreless innings, throwing a whopping 160.7km of fastballs to Junghoon Lee in the top of the sixth inning with two outs and a third base. The fourth ball sprayed from 1B2S came out 161km on the electronic display, and 160.7km was taken by the trackman measurement.

It was a ball coming to ABS' low strike zone line, and the Junghoon Lee hit it to create a foul. Since then, Moon Dong-ju has thrown two folk balls in a row, not a fastball, and eventually struck out swinging and finished the sixth inning.




I asked Moon Dong-ju about the moment of the pitch, which recorded 160.7km, and he remembered it. Moon Dong-ju said, "I felt that I threw it really hard, too." The situation forced Moon Dong-ju to pour his energy. In a showdown with KT starter Patrick without allowing any points, Noh Si-hwan's double and Chae Eun-seong's timely hit gave them a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, but they were on the verge of tying the game with two outs and runners on third base in the top of the sixth inning. Moreover, Lee Jung-hoon had a hit in the previous at-bat. In the top of the fourth inning, Junghoon Lee, who was the leadoff hitter, had a low fastball of 157km in 1B2S to the center, which became a heavy hit.

Moon Dong-ju said "I threw 157 kilometers in the previous at-bat, but it was a hit, so I threw it a little harder."

As he met a batter who made a hit on his fastball at the previous at-bat in the crisis of losing a point, he played with a stronger fastball and threw the strongest ball he could throw, creating a 160.7km speed limit.




Moon Dong-ju's maximum speed is 160.9km recorded against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju on April 12, 2023.

Moon Dong-ju, who continues to play well as the fourth starter in a difficult situation for the team, especially with his poor FA Um Sang-baek, said, `The team continues to play in an important situation, and those games seem to make me stronger. I like that kind of situation more, so I had a fun time"On the contrary, he said he enjoyed his recent appearance. That's how much confidence you've gained on your ball. I think it would be good to expect a new record of more than 161km in the remaining games.
