What did a young player do wrong in his second year? 17 consecutive torture. Who and what is the choice for

He lost again. Now he has no sympathy, let alone expectations. But it keeps coming out. Who keeps pushing a young player in his second year of high school to the brink.
Kiwoom Heroes Kim Yoon-ha started against the Doosan Bears at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 8th and collapsed with seven runs in five innings, becoming a losing pitcher. He only lost 12 games in 18 games this year. He has posted 17 consecutive wins as a starting pitcher since last year.
He was disgraced to break the record of 14 consecutive starts by foreign pitcher Don Roach, who was already a member of KT Wiz. And now he is moving forward to break the record of Jang Si-hwan, who has lost the most consecutive games in total in the starting lineup and bullpen.
Kim Yun-ha graduated from Jangchung High School last year and received Kiwoom's nomination as the ninth overall pick in the first round of the rookie draft. Kiwoom gave him many opportunities last year after seeing his growth potential as a starting pitcher. Kim Yoon-ha also won his first professional debut with seven scoreless innings against the Doosan Bears on July 25 last year, raising expectations for this season. Coach Hong Won-ki, who has now left the team, pointed out Kim Yoon-ha as the third starter from the spring camp and hinted that he will steadily give opportunities.

There was also a well-throwed game. However, there was a limit to Kiwoom's weak team's batting lineup. Also, the day Kim Yoon-ha came out did not explode. However, he had to look back on his pitches coldly before talking about luck. A fastball in the mid-140km range. The recent 150km is not competitive at all in the KBO League, which is the basis. It's nice to throw it in the middle, but the ball is so... A frame 暉?It was just a good prey for the opposing batters because it was a style. However, the ball control and control of the breaking ball are not good, so he did not show any competitiveness as a starter.
Even after acting coach Seol Jong-jin took the helm, he started three games and lost only two. He pointed out his limitations and dropped into the second division, then came up as a starter and repeatedly failed.

It's also a minus for the team. He swept three consecutive away games against the NC Dinos during the week. It was really hard to create an upward atmosphere, but the momentum was lost again in the Kim Yun-ha selection match. In addition, there will be a sense of deprivation for players who sweat and blood trying to start the first team somehow in the second division. If the opportunity continues only to certain players who do not win, they will inevitably lose their motivation.
The same goes for fans. To watch a professional game, pay a ticket to watch a winning game and visit the stadium, but if you lose every time, it's also not polite to the fans.
Leaders who have played and learned baseball normally don't just watch until a young player's mentality is broken like this. However, Kiwoom is putting Kim Yun-ha in a harsh situation in the name of giving him a chance.
