Unfortunately, Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon's wish was not kept. Hanwha's FA starter Um Sang-baek was substituted early in his first start of the second half.
Um Sang-baek started in an away game against the LG Twins at Jasil Stadium on the 9th, but he came down without finishing the second inning. He allowed five hits (one home run) with three walks and one strikeout and six runs in one inning. The number of pitches is 59. After losing 0-5, he was replaced by Cho Dong-wook at second base with no outs in the bottom of the second inning, and after that, second baseman Moon Sung-joo sent by Um Sang-baek also scored, making Um Sang-baek's loss six points.
Um Sang-baek moved from KT Wiz to Hanwha for a total of 7.8 billion won for four years as an FA before this season. He started after receiving four starts, but failed to pitch as expected. He was 1-6 with a 6.33 ERA in 15 starts. There were only two quality starts, and there were only seven games over five innings.
In the end, he came down from the starting line for the last time against KIA in Daejeon on July 9 and came down to the bullpen.
However, Um Sang-baek, who failed to pitch in the bullpen, was predicted to be a surprise starter against LG on the 9th.
Hwang Joon-seo, who started on behalf of Um Sang-baek, was sluggish, and manager Kim Kyung-moon predicted on the 9th that the starter would be \'Surprise Selection', but Um Sang-baek was selected after breaking expectations for several pitchers.
Coach Kim revealed a behind-the-scenes story about Um Sang-baek going out before the game on the 9th. Manager Kim said "I was going to throw a left-handed pitcher if I break it now" But if the player doesn't have a long inning anyway, shouldn't bullpen pitchers continue to go out again. So I thought about Hwang Joon-soo and others and thought it would be better for the starter to throw, so I decided to give Sang-baek a chance."

As a result, Kim Bum-soo could have started. This is because Um Sang-baek went down at the end of the second inning without catching an outcount.
It was difficult even in the bottom of the first inning against leadoff hitter Shin Min-jae. It was a close game in which he threw up to 14 pitches. After the first strike, Shin Min-jae hit as many as nine fouls, and in the meantime, he picked out three balls and played a full count game, but he ended up hitting the middle field in the 14th pitch. He struck out Moon Sung-joo, but in the match against Austin No. 3, his 134-km changeup, which he threw for the fourth time in the favorable count of 2S, went into the middle and became a two-run home run over the left fence. 0-2.
Um Sang-baek, who later allowed a walk to Moon Bo-kyung, caught Kim Hyun-soo with a fly to center field, but allowed Moon Bo-kyung to steal second base and gave up one more point after being hit by a left-handed hit by Oh Ji-hwan. He gave up a walk to Park Dong-won and was concentrated on the first and second bases with two outs, but he caught Koo Bon-hyuk with a fly to center field and finished the first inning with difficulty. The number of pitches was 44.
At the end of the second inning, I couldn't catch an out count. He allowed the leadoff Park Hae-min to hit the middle and allowed Shin Min-jae to steal second base at bat. And he gave up a walk to Shin Min-jae, with no outs and runners on first and second bases. And Moon Sung-joo hit a double to right-center to reach 0-5.
Cho Dong-wook, who was warming up from the bullpen, came up and replaced the pitcher. Later, Moon Bo-kyung hit a hit to right-center, and Moon Sung-joo homered and widened to 0-6.
