Kim Dong-ju (21, Doosan Bears) collapsed on his own with one out count left. However, he endured more than 5 innings and completed his starting mission.메이저사이트
Kim Dong-joo started against KT Wiz in the 2023 KBO League regular season held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 16th and was sluggish with 3 hits (1 home run) 2 walks and 4 runs in 6 innings. He went down the mound in the 7th inning, which was pushed to 0-4, putting him on the verge of losing his 5th of the season, but he managed to extinguish his first 5 or more innings since June.
Kim Dong-ju started 13 games of the season before this day and recorded 2-4 with an ERA of 3.51. His earned run average is low, but the problem is innings. He has to be in charge of a game as a starter, but he could hardly play more than 5 innings. His last 5 innings or more was on May 24, and he has never been able to extinguish 5 innings due to injuries and sluggishness.
In the game on the 16th, inning digestion was more urgent. Doosan lost 0-1 in the game against KT on the 15th, even after starter Raul Alcantara pitched 7 scoreless innings. This is because the batting line suffers from an empty ball with two hits. After the departure of the main catcher Yang Eui-ji, he was unable to use his strength. In the end, the pitcher had to endure.
However, Kim Dong-ju could not endure that once. The first inning was blocked with a three-way offense, but the second inning was a problem. He quickly caught up to two outs, but he was hit with a double by Lee Ho-yeon, the follow-up hitter, and did not finish the inning. Left fielder José Rojas failed to catch up with Lee Ho-yeon’s left outfield large batted ball, resulting in a double that landed near the foul pole.
It’s not a home run, it’s a double after two outs. If you block the follow-up, there is no point. However, Kim Dong-joo could not prevent that one, and provided the cause of ‘maximizing’ the run before the hit. He recorded a balk during Oh Yoon-seok’s at-bat and advanced Lee Ho-yeon to third base. Kim Dong-ju, who had already given up 3 balls first, gave up a walk to Oh Yoon-seok and allowed him to steal second base. He brought himself into a situation where he could give 2 points with a single hit rather than a long hit, and Kim Sang-soo scored the 2 points with a timely hit like a lie.
The downfall was not the end. Kim Dong-ju completed a 4-point big inning with a two-run four by attacking a 145km/h fastball in a 1-ball, 1-strike situation to catch the follow-up squad.
It could have collapsed as it was, but Kim Dong-ju endured. In the third inning, he threw only 10 pitches in the opposite direction and ended the inning with a three-way retreat. There were few balls that deviated greatly from the strike zone, and it was good to control the ball by dividing it up and down, left and right. The cruise continued. He finished the 4th inning with 10 pitches and a three-way offense, and only allowed one walk to Kim Sang-soo in the 5th inning, but closed the inning with a stolen base stop and two fly balls. He then went to the mound in the 6th inning and finished the pitching with 15 pitches.
85 total pitches in 6 innings. The strike complied with 59 pitches. It was a start that left both regret and meaning while recording the highest speed of 150 km/h.
