Playoff MVP. However, after four days off, starting the game was too much.

In Game 1 of the postseason Korean Series against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 26th, Moon Dong-ju recorded four hits (one homer) and three walks (three earned runs) in four ⅓ innings. His maximum fastball speed was 154 kilometers, and he mixed forks (18), curves (14), and sliders (4).

The playoffs were simply Moon Dong-ju's stage. He played a key role in starting Hanwha with 11 wins, 5 losses and a 4.02 ERA in 24 games this season.




Moon Dong-ju in the postseason was LG's 'Hidden Card'. He prepared for the series as a reliever, not a starter. In Game 1 and Game 3, Samsung's batters, who were the playoff opponents, were completely blocked with two scoreless innings and four scoreless innings, respectively.

Hanwha succeeded in advancing to the Korean Series with 3 wins and 2 losses after twists and turns. Moon Dong-ju was awarded the playoff MVP.

In the Korean Series, Moon returned as a starting pitcher. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `If Moon Dong-ju throws from the bullpen until the Korean Series, we have no hope. If players who did not perform well in the playoffs, such as Kim Seo-hyun, perform well in the Korean Series, I think it will lead to good results" he said.




Moon Dong-ju was selected as the starting pitcher for the first game. His overwhelming pitching was highly regarded. Director Kim said, `We didn't set a specific pitching number. First of all, I think he will throw up to the 5th inning, which is a requirement for victory or defeat. He also said, "I'm going to look at the number of pitches to see if I'll replace them depending on the content in the sixth inning."

Moon Dong-ju, who returned as a starter, lost a point in the bottom of the first inning, but showed a stable overall game management. In the first inning, he gave up a walk to leadoff hitter Hong Chang-ki, and Shin Min-jae's infield hit and wild pitch drove him to the second and third bases with no outs. In the end, the loss came out. Austin was struck out, but Kim Hyun-soo's ground ball brought the third baseman home, and Moon Bo-kyung's hit gave him his second run. Oh Ji-hwan finished the inning with a swing and miss in 2S.

The bottom of the second and third innings were neatly blocked with three outs.




He faced another crisis in the bottom of the fourth inning. After Kim Hyun-soo's walk, Moon Bo-kyung was handled with a fly ball, but a walk came out to Oh Ji-hwan again. It was a crisis with one out and runners on first and second bases, but both Park Dong-won and Koo Bon-hyuk were hit.

He couldn't finish the inning in the bottom of the fifth inning when he was losing 0-2. It starts with a home run hit by leadoff hitter Park Hae-min. Hong Chang-ki grounded out, but Shin Min-jae's triple put him in crisis. Austin's grounder sent the third baseman home for four runs.

Moon Dong-ju's role is also over. Moon Dong-ju, who threw a total of 81 pitches, handed over the mound to Kim Bum-soo. As Kim Bum-soo finished the inning without losing a point, Moon Dong-ju was also able to finish the game with four runs.
