Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon did not hide his proud feelings about the present and future of the Hanwha Eagles mound.

Prior to the match against Samsung held at Lions Park in Daegu on the 7th, head coach Kim expressed his feelings for starter Moon Dong-ju, who won 11 games as a winning pitcher against Samsung the previous day, and Kim Seo-hyun, who made 30 right-handed saves in Hanwha's history with five-batter saves.

Coach Kim Kyung-moon said of Moon Dong-ju, `Last year's Dong-ju is very different from this year's Dong-ju. If you look at the level of trust given to the team on the mound or the way he throws now this year, he throws as well as any mercenary. It's a part that needs to be praised a lot."




As for Kim Seo-hyun "It's not easy to make 30 saves because it's the first time I'm in charge of finishing." I didn't even know yesterday's record was 30 saves, he said. "It is true that Seo-hyun was born with a good body from her parents, but I think she overcame the difficulties well."

Manager Kim said, "Yesterday was a day that I felt more proud as a baseball senior than one win"He confessed his honest feelings.

The fact that they are young pitchers who have overcome difficult times raises expectations.




Moon Dong-ju, who suffered some ups and downs last season, was not perfect until June of this season.

However, it has been dominating as untouchable since July, increasing its trademark light speed ball power with stable breaking ball control. 2 wins and 1 loss in four games in July, 2.22 ERA, and 2.38 ERA in four games in August. On the 6th, the match against Samsung garnered its 11th win of the season by allowing four hits, one walk and two runs in six ⅓ innings.

Kim Seo-hyun, who was in charge of finishing this season, had a tough time with an 8.44 ERA in 13 games in August. I shed tears, too. But he overcame it nicely and returned to the mound. He has added four saves in the last seven consecutive games, reaching the long-awaited 30 saves.




Moon Dong-ju, the first designated candidate for Hanwha in 2022, and Kim Seo-hyun, the first overall designated candidate for 2023. The two main pitchers on the mound who will lead Hanwha's 10-year future. The veteran head coach, who went through all sorts of hardships and stood tall on the mound after overcoming the ordeal, could not hide his emotion.
