Hanwha Eagles announced Monday right-hander Moon Dong-ju (22) as the starting pitcher for the Kia Tigers in Gwangju. Moon originally had to play in the match against KIA in Gwangju on Sunday. However, as the game against the LG Twins in Daejeon was canceled due to rain on Sunday, Um Sang-baek, who was scheduled to start on the day, played in the match against KIA on Sunday.먹튀검증
Coach Kim Kyung-moon will run five starting pitchers this season, which will consist of Cody Ponce, Ryan Weiss, Ryu Hyun-jin, Um Sang-baek and Moon Dong-ju. Moon has three wins and one loss with a 3.03 ERA, 0.196 ERA and 0.84 WHIP in six games this season. This is a markedly different move from last year when he only had seven wins and seven losses with a 5.17 ERA in 21 games.
In fact, Moon Dong-ju had a good pace in the second half of the 2024 season. As he used folk balls in earnest, he escaped the four-seam-curve pattern. Although he finished the season early due to injury, he prepared well for this season. This year's ball control and command are good. He has allowed only five pitches in 29.2 innings in the past six games.
Kim Do-young, who became Do Young-ping in this series, is also in good batting condition after returning from a hamstring injury. He also had two hits in the game against the Hanwha Eagles in Gwangju on Sunday. He has a batting average of 0.381 with one home run, six RBIs, three runs and an OPS of 1.102 in seven games this season.
Over the past three years, Kim Dae-jung has dominated the game unilaterally. He had three hits (two doubles) and two walks from seven times at bat until last year. However, the variable is that Kim has yet to face Moon since he was upgraded. This time, it is time for Moon to show something. However, Kim Do-young is also a batter who is very good at bat.
The two met only once last year. Kim had a complete victory in Daejeon on July 19 by posting two hits from three times at bat. If the two Koreas hold a showdown on July 3, it will be the first reunion in 10 months. However, the decisive factor is the weather. There is a rain forecast from morning to 2 to 3 p.m. in Gwangju. The amount of rain is not small. The match on the day begins at 14:00 p.m. with live terrestrial broadcasting.
If the game is canceled on the day, it remains to be seen whether Moon will be announced as the starting pitcher again on the 4th. Originally, April 4 is the date when ace Ponce will take the mound. We cannot rule out the possibility that Ponce will not change his pitching schedule and move Moon to three consecutive Children's Day games in order to display optimal performance. If so, Moon will make a promise to the next game. The next showdown between the two teams will take place in Gwangju from June 6-8. Of course, it remains to be seen whether Moon Dong-ju will take the turn to start in the three consecutive games.
