SSG Landers coach Kim Won-hyung showed satisfaction with the contents of veteran right-hander Moon Seung-won’s return to the starting lineup.
On the day the 13th game of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League season between Kiwoom Heroes and SSG, which was scheduled to be held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 29th, was canceled due to rain, coach Kim met with reporters and looked back on the past trip to Jamsil.
SSG finished 3 consecutive matches with Doosan Bears with 2 wins and 1 loss. On the first day of the three-game series, they were defeated 1-10, but after winning 7-5 on the 26th, they won 8-5 on the 27th and succeeded in winning two consecutive games.
The starter on the 27th was Moon Seung-won. It was his first start in 117 days. In the 4th inning, he allowed consecutive hits to Kang Seung-ho, Park Joon-yeong, and Ahn Seung-han, giving up runs and giving up the mound to Lim Jun-seop, ending his long-awaited start.
He threw 62 pitches in 3 innings, giving up 7 hits, 2 strikeouts, 1 walk and 4 runs. Director Kim said, “I saw it well. He conceded, but he went up after a long time and came down without throwing 70, but his strength did not drop. He will be the starting pitcher for the next game.”스포츠토토
He noticed that he didn’t walk a lot and didn’t give up a lot of hits. Director Kim said, “There was something wrong,” and “First of all, the pitch itself wasn’t bad. He also had good control. He said, “Posui Heungryun and breathing were okay.”
The season started with Moon Seung-won, who was the starting pitcher. Moon Seung-won, who became the winning pitcher with 8 scoreless innings against Samsung on April 12, his first appearance, made four starts until the KT match on May 2 (7 runs lost in 3⅓ innings) before moving to the bullpen.
In the starting lineup, there were two foreign pitchers, ace Kim Kwang-hyun, submarine Park Jong-hoon, and left-hander Oh Won-seok. Moon Seung-won readily followed manager Kim’s will to strengthen the bullpen.
However, as Park Jong-hoon went through a slump and eventually went down to the 2nd team, Moon Seung-won joined the starting lineup again.
Meanwhile, SSG announced the selection of left-hander Oh Won-seok that day, but the match was canceled due to rain. Oh Won-seok’s appearance was delayed. The starting pitcher for SSG on the 30th is foreign left-hander Kirk McCarty.
McCarty is 8-4 with a 2.51 ERA in 19 games this season. In the game against NC on the 24th, he became the winning pitcher with 4 runs in 7⅓ innings. Kiwoom had an average ERA of 1.38 without a win or loss in the previous two games.
