Choi Chae-heung took the mound as a starting pitcher against Ulsan Lotte on the 5th. As for the reason why Choi Chae-heung, who played against NC in Daegu on the 1st ahead of the game, advanced the timing of his appearance, Park Jin-man said, “As a starting pitcher, you have to throw at least 100 to take five days off. “If you throw 50 balls, three days off is enough,” he said.
Choi Chae-heung, who had been sluggish in the previous appearance, said a heartfelt word in hopes of playing his role as a starter. Choi Chae-heung was shaken by nine hits (one home run) and three walks and five runs in four innings. He handed over the mound to right-hander Hong Jung-woo in the fifth inning, trailing 3-5.
The start was unsettling. Yoon Dong-hee and Jung-hoon’s consecutive hits in the first inning and Ahn Chi-hong’s body hit put him on the verge of full base with no outs. He led Jeon Joon-woo to a grounder to third base and took the first out count. Gudrum’s sacrifice fly to right field gave up one point first. Yoo Kang-nam hit a three-run home run in the middle of the month with two outs and runners on first and third bases.
Choi Chae-heung hit back-to-back hits by An Chi-hong and Jeon Joon-woo after two outs in the second inning, but ended the inning by inducing Koo Drum to a fly ball to second base. In the third inning, leadoff hitter Yoo Kang-nam hit a double to right field. Since then, he has finished pitching in the third inning by inducing Kim Min-seok, Noh Jin-hyuk, and Hwang Sung-bin to hit bats. 슬롯머신
