Hanwha Eagles finally found a way to use Um Sang-baek (29).

Um Sang-baek, who came to the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning when he was losing 1-2, treated Han Jun-su, Kim Ho-ryeong, and Yoon Do-hyun all as three-way offenses.

Hanwha drove in three runs in the top of the eighth inning, and Um Sang-baek now took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning to protect a 4-2 lead. He got a hit from the leadoff Park Chan-ho, but after striking out Kim Sun-bin, he turned Choi Hyung-woo into a fly ball.

As he recorded 13 wins (10 losses) as a member of KT Wiz last year, expectations were high that he would definitely fill the starting position. Along with Cody Ponce, Ryan Weiss, Ryu Hyun-jin, and Moon Dong-joo, if Um Sang-baek is added, Hanwha's starting lineup will be simply shrewd.

In the first half, Um Sang-baek remained 1-6 with a 6.33 ERA in 15 games. The undulating pitching continued, and eventually came down from the starting position in the second half.

He changed his position to a relief pitcher, but he still failed to overwhelm the opponent's batter on the mound. On July 23, his first relief appearance, he was shaken by six runs in two ⅔ innings against the Doosan Bears. He seemed to have succeeded in rebounding against SSG Landers with two scoreless innings on the 26th, but he swallowed his regret by allowing one run in two ⅔ innings against Samsung on the 29th.




While he could hardly find a way to use it, he was given a chance to start again against the LG Twins on the 9th of last month. However, he was sluggish with five hits (one home run) in one inning, three walks, one strikeout, and six runs, and was eventually excluded from the entry.

Um Sang-baek, who was rearranged from Futures, was re-registered in line with the expanded entry in September. After returning, Um Sang-baek looked completely different. As he focused on pitching his best for about one inning, his ball power was revived, and it was a match against the batter. Um Sang-baek also began to pitch more confidently.

In September, he pitched eight ⅔ innings in seven games as a bullpen pitcher, recording a zero ERA.

One bullpen resource that was definitely found ahead of the postseason. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon also smiled. Above all, he applauded his victory for the first time in a long time.

Coach Kim said "I hope so, but the team was also hoping. In the middle, he might have had a bad idea at first, and he must have had a lot of thoughts that he wanted to throw as a starter. I was happy to see the team getting better because they played a role one by one in the position they wanted, and the team got better. "I think I would have been happy to see the win come out unexpectedly." he said.
