"Shouldn't we discuss it after the season..."

There are many seasons where only wounds remain. It is about Kim Yoon-ha, a second-year pitcher of the Kiwoom Heroes.

Kiwoom removed Kim Yoon-ha from the entry ahead of the KIA Tigers match on the 19th. The decision was made after pitching ⅔ innings in the bullpen for the first time this season against the KT Wiz on the 17th.




There was a lot of talk and a lot of trouble. It was a good start. I received a good selection class for the rookie season last year. There must have been a team situation without a pitcher, but anyway, there is a possibility, so he joined the opening starting rotation. That's also the third starter.

On March 25, he lost eight runs (seven earned runs) in five innings in his first appearance of the season against KIA. It was a shame after that. He pitched six innings of two runs against SSG Landers, but lost the game.

I wonder if it's twisted from here. I lost as long as I came out. He played 18 games as a starter and lost 12 games without a win. From last year's record, he set a new record for the most consecutive losses for starters, and he was heading for the record of 19 consecutive losses for pitchers regardless of the starter-bulpen.

Worried about what the hell the mound is for has increased. Until the 17th consecutive defeat, a pitcher can know how anxious he would be if he took the mound worrying about leaving his name as a stain on baseball history. But Kiwoom kept making him start for some reason, and Kim Yun-ha cringed. Of course, Kim Yoon-ha himself was responsible. No matter who looks at it, the ball power was not at the level of the first team level. Last year, if the ball gave a heavy feeling, it was too ordinary and clean this year.

In the end, there was no chance to start after the game against the Doosan Bears on the 8th. Originally, he said he would give him two more chances as a starter. The reason was that the change of position could be hurtful. But suddenly, he came out to the bullpen against KT. Then after one game, he went down to the second team. What's going on.

Kiwoom's acting head coach Seol Jong-jin said "The plan has changed due to Joo Seung-woo's injury. As Cho Young-gun went to the finish, he needed a player to act as a bullpen. He also explained that he turned to the bullpen because he thought throwing it to the bullpen would ease the player's mind rather than starting."




But why is it the second leg in one game. Acting director Seol said "The ball is not coming up. I talked with the player after the game, but he also said that his balance was shaky and that his body was heavy. So, he said to reorganize in the second division. In the Futures game, he said, "Let's throw fastballs for about two innings."

Will he be able to return to the first team this year. Acting director Seol said "If Futures says it's okay, it can be posted in September. If he comes up this season, he is not a starter, but a bullpen."

Then, what direction will Kim Yun-ha go after this season. Acting director Seol said, `I think we should start discussing in the final camp. Should I grow as a starter or is it a bullpen?" he said, announcing that the club is also considering the direction of Kim Yoon-ha's growth.
