The Hanwha Eagles canceled Um Sang-baek and infielder Hwang Young-mook from the first team ahead of the final game of the weekend's three consecutive games against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 10th, and called up left-handed pitcher Kim Ki-joong and catcher Heo In-seo.
Um Sang-baek started in an away game against the LG Twins at Jamsil 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. Hanwha lost 1-8 as Um Sang-baek collapsed in the beginning and the batters failed to attack LG's starting Chirinos. Hanwha, which has lost three consecutive games, widened its gap with No. 1 LG to three games.
Ahead of this season, Um Sang-baek moved from KT Wiz to Hanwha for a total of 7.8 billion won for four years as an FA. He started after receiving four starts, but failed to pitch as expected.

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."
The left-handed pitcher who threw to the bullpen in Hanwha this year was a candidate for the 'surprise starter' because he originally planned to throw a left-handed pitcher, and that pitcher was not the starting type. Kim Bum-soo and Cho Dong-wook in the left-handed bullpen currently in the first division. An official from Hanwha said that Kim Bum-soo was the one that head coach Kim thought of 'surprise selection'.
