"I thought I could put myself in a better position."

Now we're going to the must-win group. Fastball prospect Jung Woo-joo was recognized by head coach Kim Kyung-moon. And now I have decided to add strength to the difficult must-win group.

Jung Woo-joo, who graduated from Jeonju High School and came to Hanwha as the second-ranked player in the first round, received the same down payment of 500 million won as Kiwoom's first-ranked Jung Hyun-woo, joining with high expectations as the second-ranked player. He has a 4.05 ERA with two wins and three holds in 35 games this season. From June 11 to July 7, he came up from the second team for 27 days. Since then, he has not won or lost in six games, but has been stable with a 2.00 ERA.




In the match against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 8th, when attention was focused on the first- and second-place match, they also showed good performance in a tie situation.

Jung Woo-joo took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning, a 1-1 tie against LG in Jamsil on the 8th, and allowed no runs in one inning. Jung Woo-joo, who came to the mound after two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, struck out Park Dong-won with three pitches. After hitting a 153km fastball toward his body to catch a strike, he induced a swing and miss with a low slider of 134km on the second pitch. And he struck out the third pitch with a 154km outside fastball.

Jung Woo-joo, who also got up in the bottom of the ninth inning, was hit hard by the leadoff Koo Bon-hyuk and allowed Park Hae-min to make a sacrifice bunt, putting him on the verge of a crisis with one out and second base. Jung Woo-joo, who faced Shin Min-jae, who has a batting average of 4.344 (33 hits in 76 times at bat), struck out swinging with a high slider of 138km after a close game going to the full count and handed over the mound to Kim Seo-hyun. Kim Seo-hyun walked Moon Sung-joo, but he caught Austin with a ground ball in front of the shortstop and finished the ninth inning.

It was enough to give faith that he faced the rising LG lineup by calmly spraying his ball even in a situation of great pressure.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon also gave a positive assessment of Jung Woo-ju. Asked about Jung Woo-joo, head coach Kim said, `It's good now, but I couldn't do it because the game was tight"I can see that our pitchers are tired as they have played more than 100 games. So I thought I could put the universe in a better place now."

Hanwha's three losses this week are all come from behind in the bullpen. The starter pitched well and led, but he is struggling in the must-win group, which has been watching the game so far. Jung Woo-joo, who is still spraying powerful balls, is also expected to be included in the must-win group to reduce the physical burden of the existing must-win group.




However, Jung Woo-joo took the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning with one out and runners on the second and third bases, trailing 1-8 against LG on the 9th, and recorded two hits, no four strikeouts and no runs in one ⅔ inning until the bottom of the eighth inning.

As starter Um Sang-baek went down in the second inning, Cho Dong-wook and Kim Jong-soo threw, and after that, the winning pitchers had to throw, and Jung Woo-joo blocked the remaining innings.

Here again, Jung Woo-joo showed excellent ability to escape the crisis, imprinting his ability as a clear must-win team.

Jung Woo-joo, who escaped the crisis by striking out Austin and Moon Bo-kyung with one out and runners on the second and third bases, was on the verge of the first and second bases with no outs at the bottom of the eighth inning due to consecutive hits by Chun Sung-ho and Choi Won-young, but struck out Park Dong-won, Koo Bon-hyuk, right field fly, and Choi Seung-min, eventually ending up scoreless.
