In the hot summer, while the professional baseball season is nearing the end, the era of hardships of finishing continues.

Kim Seo-hyun of Hanwha, who dreams of 'finishing the championship', is a representative example. He pitched in seven games in August and allowed scores in five games. He has nine runs in just four ⅔ innings. The ERA in the second half reached 8.71 and 17.36 in August. Throughout the second half of the year, the ball control continued to be difficult, and the fastball speed often fell to less than 150 kilometers, turning into a "horror express".

Hanwha's loss of the No. 1 position to LG in the second half is also in line with Kim Seo-hyun's sluggishness. The point of the ranking change was Kim Seo-hyun's KT match Blon on August 5.




It's not just Hanwha's concern. KIA sent Jung Hae-young to the second division on the 17th. As of the 18th, KIA will tie for fifth place with KT-NC. From the third-place Lotte Giants, the difference between these three teams is only two and a half games.

This means that Jung Hae-young is in such a bad condition that he chose the extreme number of excluding the first-team entry in the midst of such a cliff edge battle. In particular, it was a big point that they recorded a series of Blon-loss losses against Doosan on the 15th and 16th.

Doosan's position is similar. Kim Taek-yeon was responsible for 56 ⅓ innings, the second-most among 10 team finishers this season. As a result, the ERA in the second half is 7.15 and 8.53 in August alone. In the second half of the year, Blon scored three losses and two losses.

As a result, Kim Taek-yeon recorded eight Blon saves this season, disgraced as the third-ranked Blon in a single season in professional baseball history. LG Woo Kyu-min (13 Blon) ranked first in 2007 and Jeong Cheol-won (9 Blon) ranked second in 2023. Coincidentally, each club recorded Blon evenly this season, recording Blon against eight clubs except Kiwoom Heroes. The disgrace of former club Blon might be added.

Lotte's Kim Won-joong led Lotte's high flight by recording 13 consecutive saves (two runs) from the match against SSG on June 14 to Kiwoom on August 2, but his team's losing streak was devastated by Blon in the last two consecutive games.

In the match against Hanwha on the 14th, Liberato hit a tiebreaking home run in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 4-3 lead, and in the match against Samsung on the 17th, with the bases loaded with one out in the eighth inning with a 7-3 lead, Kim Young-woong allowed a timely hit to Diaz, who was on the verge of becoming a losing pitcher. Lotte tied the game 8-8, and the loss was avoided as the game ended in a draw.

KT Park Young-hyun has been in charge of 51 ⅔ innings in 52 games as a bullpen since he was a rookie, and has passed 75 innings for the second consecutive season. He has played 54 ⅓ innings in 53 games this year, ranking first in relief with 30 saves.

Compared to the above-mentioned finishes, I'm holding up well this summer. The ERA in the second half reached 5.71, but the turbulence in July (6.75) was severe and stabilized to 1.35 in August. Except for the NC Dinos match (one run in two ⅓ innings) on the 2nd, there were no runs in August, and he has one win and three saves in his last four appearances.

LG Yoo Young-chan has also overcome the shaking at the end of July and is cruising with one win and four saves in six consecutive games in August. It is the spearhead of LG's No. 1 sprint.

There is also a team that runs without worrying about finishing all season. This is Cho Byung-hyun from SSG. With a season ERA of 1.38 and a brilliant record of 5 wins, 2 losses and 24 saves, there are few monthly ups and downs. The month with the highest ERA was 2.19 in June. This is why SSG was able to remain in the middle ranks even when it was struggling with the starting lineup or batters. On the 15th, LG Jeon Blon is 'Ok's T'.

NC Ryu Jin-wook is also protecting the back door like an iron wall with a 1.72 ERA in the second half. Although there are some 58 ⅓ innings, the most among the 10 club finishes, he, like Cho Byung-hyun, is playing a supporting role as a mid-range shooter.

Kiwoom Joo Seung-woo was the support of Kiwoom's bullpen with 2 wins, 2 losses and 16 saves and 5 holds this season, but he was out for the season due to an elbow injury. Tommy John surgery (inner ligament surgery of the elbow) is scheduled for the 22nd.
