Moon Dong-ju of Hanwha Eagles once again wrote his maximum arrest.

Moon Dong-ju took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 20th.

Moon Dong-joo, who started against Kiwoom on the 14th, was scheduled to start the game on that day. However, the game was canceled due to rain on the 19th, and Cody Ponce, who was scheduled to start, took the mound a day later.




As the pitching interval got longer, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon expressed his intention to put Moon Dong-joo as the starting pitcher. Manager Kim said "Originally, I didn't plan to play as a bullpen. If I don't throw it today, I won't go out for too long because I don't have a game for 3 days. He also explained, "It's not good for pitchers to rest too much."

Manager Kim continued, `There is a situation in which the fourth starting pitcher can come out in the first game of the postseason. I'm trying to prepare while thinking about that as well."

After Ponce went down the mound with four runs in five innings, Moon Dong-ju came up in the sixth inning. Cho Dae-hyun's sacrifice bunt followed after a hit by leadoff hitter Jang Joon-won. Kwon Dong-jin's groundout followed with two outs and a third base. He finished the inning by handling Heo Kyung-min with a fly ball.




In the bottom of the seventh inning, Stephenson, Ahn Hyun-min, and Kang Baek-ho all struck out. In the eighth inning, he also struck out one and blocked it with three outs.

On this day, he also rewritten his personal maximum arrest. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Kang Baek-ho's fourth fastball speed in the 1B 2S situation with two outs was 161.4km based on the trackman. The highest arrest ever for an individual over 160.9km thrown in the match against KIA in Gwangju on April 12, 2023. In addition, he is the Eagles' highest arrest.

There was Moon Dong-ju's outstanding pitching, but Hanwha's batting line did not explode and eventually lost 2-4. Hanwha, which stopped its four-game winning streak, recorded 80 wins, three draws and 54 losses overall in the season.
