Ponce, Weiss, and Ryu Hyun-jin all collapsed. But there was a final bastion. It's Moon Dong-ju.

This fall, the Hanwha Eagles ace is by far Moon Dong-ju. It's an all-weather throw that reminds us of the immortal Choi Dong-won, who took the mound in 1984 and led the Lotte Giants to their first championship.

Moon Dong-ju saved the team once again. He also dominated Game 3 following Game 1.




Moon Dong-ju led the team to a 5-4 victory by putting to rest Samsung's batters, who were on the first base with no outs in the sixth inning, one point ahead of the third playoff game against Samsung at Lions Park in Daegu on the 21st.

He struck out with strong ball power at every crisis, drawing disappointing cheers from Samsung fans who filled Lapak.

Hanwha, which came to Daegu with one win and one loss after losing in the second game, had a heavy atmosphere. I desperately needed to win the third game. If you lose, you have to meet your opponent Won Tae-in at the edge of the cliff in Game 4.

Moon Dong-ju once again stepped up as a troubleshooter.




Ryu Hyun-jin collapsed early with four runs in four innings. Moon Dong-ju appeared like Superman from the sixth inning and took charge of four innings, firmly maintaining a one-run victory that was like thin ice.

Moon Dong-ju, who was selected as the MVP of the game, said after the game that `I think odd games (legs 1, 3, 5) are more important, but I feel good because I think I played my part in that important game.' Then "I just did it with the mindset that I wouldn't lose. I just threw it with the idea of doing my best regardless of the outcome."

In the first game, it was not a fastball like 162km in a new arrest record, but it neutralized Samsung's batters with strong and weak control and control.




The maximum 157-kilometer fastball, fork ball, slider, and curve were properly mixed to avoid a salary. Moon Dong-ju said, "(Shoulder) was light in the first game, but today it felt a little heavy. I was a little nervous when I took the mound with a runner for the first time in my life. If you pay attention to speed, the result of the game will not be easy I think focusing on control and breaking balls rather than speed led to good results,' he said.

After finishing the sixth and seventh innings, pitcher coach Yang Sang-moon asked if he could throw more. Without a second's hesitation "I'll go all the way." returned the answer.

With no background, Moon Dong-ju, who was in charge until the ninth inning, said "It wasn't like that from the beginning. All I could think about was doing the best I could. As the innings went on, it didn't get hard, so I thought I could go all the way if I maintained my pace. It was helpful to try to cheer up while fighting in the dugout."

The best fireballer in the league, who has been reborn as a special bullpen in fall baseball. He said, `If the team wins, of course, I don't think it's going to matter (to take the bullpen in the future)` shouted Tim First. He is the ace of Hanwha's reliable god.
