"There's something I'm learning to back off."

Hanwha Eagles special rookie pitcher Jung Woo-joo took the mound in the top of the ninth inning with his team leading 4-0 in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League KT Wiz at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 27th.

Jung was cruising smoothly by pitching eight consecutive games without allowing any lost points before the game. At the match against Incheon SSG Landers on April 17, he recorded two strikeouts and no lost points in one inning to secure his first hold since debut. He was a strong support in the middle with a 3.72 ERA over 12 games during this season.
However, the day was a series of challenges. He handled leadoff hitter Huh Kyung-min with a fly to second base, signaling a good start. He was hit by Mel Rojas Jr. double and threw four consecutive balls to Jang, facing a crisis with one out and runners on the first and second bases. He then bowed his head to Hwang after an RBI double.

Afterwards, the Hanwha bench lowered Jung Woo-ju and raised Kim Jong-soo. Kim treated Kim Min-hyuk to a straight hit to second base, but Jung Woo-ju's loss was three as Bae Jeong-dae hit a timely two-run ball. Kim allowed a hit ball to Oh Yoon-seok, and then turned the ball over to Kim. As Kim grounded out to Jang, Hanwha gradually took the win 4-3.

Kim Seo-hyun was seen on TV patting his head and comforting Jung Woo-ju, who bowed his head in the dugout. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon feels the same way. I think the current ordeal will have to be experienced at least once anyway.

Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, "Young friends need to experience more. Of course, it would be good for the team if you throw it well when you go out, but there is something to learn after getting hit and coming down."

"I've thrown well so far. I thought it would end easily because it was a four-point gap, but baseball is not good at calculating. If the opposing batter had hit the ball, it might have gone to extra time or come from behind," he said. "I didn't say anything to Woo-joo. You know it best. Seo-hyun should experience that a lot."

Jung Woo-joo, a junior high school student and former high school student, who wore Hanwha's uniform as the second runner in the first round, was mentioned as the No. 1 candidate for the rookie draft last year. "We don't have enough time to explain why we picked him. He had smooth pitching movements and decided that he could display perfect pitching wherever he went in the starting pitcher and bullpen," Hanwha General Manager Son Hyuk said after the nomination. In particular, he praised fastball, saying, "I chose Jung Woo-ju, not just because I learned it."

He has been listed in the opening entry list as well as the Australian and Japanese spring camps, and has thus far been active with his seniors. He has posted an ERA of 5.40 with two holds in 13 games (11 ⅔ innings). His ERA is somewhat higher, but he has lost only three of his 13 games. 온라인카지노
