Is there more good news for Kiwoom Heroes.
Jung Hyun-woo, the top rookie in the rookie draft, successfully returned.
Chung Hyun-woo started the game against the LG Twins at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 8th and made them look forward to the future by pitching one run in five innings.안전놀이터
They are back on the mound after many twists and turns. Chung, a graduate of Deoksu High School, wore the Kiwoom uniform as the No. 1 overall pick after a fierce competition with Chung Woo-joo (Hanwha). Kiwoom added Chung, who is considered a "completed left-hander," to the opening rotasher and gave him the heavy responsibility of starting fourth.
His performance was good, too. He had two wins in three games. However, he had to rest due to injury on his left shoulder when throwing the ball. His last game was against the Hanwha Eagles on April 12.
While Chung was absent, Kiwoom had a desperate battle as its starting rotation collapsed. It came in last place with a huge margin of victory. However, Coach Hong never rushed to return to the team. Since he has thrown a lot since his high school days, he said he would post Chung when he received a report that his shoulder recovered perfectly after careful management and thorough rehabilitation. And that was the game against LG.
He is a natural born player who controls and manages games. He had a long hiatus, but he pitched powerful games as if he doesn't care. He pitched well against LG, the leading team, five innings of two hits and one run. With no four outs, five strikeouts, the game was impressive.
Kiwoom's Alcantara, who kicked Puig out and brought him in, is expected to play an ace role with two perfect pitches. He is resting for a while due to a minor injury, but Rosenberg is also reliable. Hang Young-min struggled as a native starter. With Chung Hyun-woo on top of this, he will have a starting lineup that no one can ignore. Chung Hyun-woo gave that hope with his pitching against LG.
He also has a single task to tackle. He only pitched in five innings in all three games before his injury. He pitched in five innings, 122-101-84. He pitched in a number of innings as he did not fully adjust to the pro league, or he was struggling in battles with seniors due to his poor fastball speed. He also threw 145 kilometers of fastball speed before his return to Korea. Due to the team's weak bullpen, it is important to draw as long innings as possible as a starter. It is the best if you throw 6-7 innings.
LG had five innings together. Of course, these five innings have different meanings. As it is a return match, the team has set the number of pitches at 70 or less, and Chung blocked five innings with an efficient number of 65. If the team gradually increases its physical stamina, it can expect more than a quality start.
He was considered a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year before the season, but now the momentum of LG's Song Seung-ki is too scary. Coincidentally, Jung Hyun-woo's starting opponent was Song Seung-ki, and he became the winning pitcher with seven scoreless and fantastic throws in seven innings. He has an impressive record of 7 wins and 3 losses with an ERA of 2.30. Rookie of the Year is also an important title, but considering Song Seung-ki's rise and LG's performance, Jung Hyun-woo needs to give up the idea of Rookie of the Year and focus all of the rookie season on adapting perfectly as a league starter for the time being.
