There is no worry about Hanwha, the ‘single lead’… ‘5 starting seats’ (SS attention focused)

(Sports Seoul | Jamsil = Reporter Kang Yoon -sik) Hanwha runs first place. The mound is high and the blow is well done. There is no worry about Hanwha, which seems to have no weaknesses. One of the five starting seats is suffering from the season throughout the season.

Hanwha’s momentum, which has been properly exploded in the first half, continues in the second half. On the 22nd, Jamsil Doosan won the first two consecutive wins in a single season for the first time since Samsung in 1985. The solo system was established. Although LG’s pursuit is not yet, the first place seems to be quite solid.

It is often overwhelmingly the No. 1 team, and it is said that the balance of the two is good. In fact, Hanwha is. You can see the stats from June when Hanwha has been ‘confidently’. Both team average ERA and team batting average are ranked first. There is a reason for the highest leaderboard.

This does not mean that there is no weakness. ‘Perfect’ is not easy as the team spends a season. The biggest concern for Hanwha is also five starts. It is reliable until the four starters leading to Cody Phonsse-Ryan Wice-Ryu Hyun-jin and Moon Dong-ju. Something is ambiguous afterwards.

Maybe the sluggishness of Um Sang -baek hurts. Ahead of this season, the company has signed a contract of up to 7.8 billion won for four years in the free agent (FA) market. Of course, I was very excited as I put a ‘big money’. But so far, it does not meet this expectation. 1 win, 6 losses, 6.89 ERA.

When Um Sang -baek showed a sluggish appearance, Kim Kyung -moon also made a decision. At the beginning of the second half, the starting rotation changed. I turned Um Sang -baek to the bullpen and put Hwang Jun -seo. In the first half of the first half, Um Sang -baek showed the possibility of starting when he was left with a sluggish place and Moon Dong -ju.

However, it was clean from the first start in the second half. On the 23rd, he started Jamsil Doosan and was sold after four innings. Jake Cave and Yang Ji -ji hit a battered home run, and Park Jun -soon also allowed a home run. He gave three home runs in one time and could not take the inning for a long time.

The problem is that Um Sang -baek, who has been on his back, has also been shaken. He started his second round and scored six runs in 2.2 innings. In many ways, it was a game to deepen. It is too painful to see two actual five candidates collapsed in a row and led to a plan.

In some ways, it may be a matter of just one place. Still, it’s a good idea to solve the problem that is revealed on the way to the championship. The decision was made. The next start -up opportunity is also likely to return to Hwang Jun -seo. For now, Hwang Jun -seo wants to do well. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
