Kwon Min-gyu, a left-hander rookie of Hanwha Eagles, made his long-awaited debut in the first division.
The Hanwha Eagles, led by head coach Kim Kyung-moon, has included two pitchers, one from the first round, and two from the second round, Jung Woo-joo and Kwon Min-gyu, in the opening entry of the regular season. Jung Woo-joo made his debut first in the match against KT in Suwon on Tuesday, and Kwon Min-gyu, who was waiting for a chance while watching this, took his first professional mound in the match against LG in Jamsil on Wednesday, his fourth game of the season. Kwon took the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning when his team was losing 0-4. The first batter is Moon Bo-kyung, who is currently the hottest hitter. Kwon first caught a strike with two balls, but then threw balls in succession to get to the full count, and finally gave up a walk to Moon after a game of eight pitches.
However, Oh Ji-hwan was handled by a fly ball to right field, and Song Chan-eui struck out with three balls by drawing a swing and miss with a fork ball and a fastball. He was on the verge of a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second base by giving up a straight walk to Park Dong-won, but Kwon Min-gyu finished his successful debut without losing a point by treating Park Hae-min with a fly ball to the first base.
Kwon Min-gyu looked back, "I was jealous of Woo-ju (who debuted first), but in my heart, I thought about cheering for Woo-ju first because I'm going to throw it anyway, and I cheered a lot." When asked if he was nervous about his debut match, he laughed and said, "I think it would be a lie if I hadn't been nervous. I could definitely feel the cheering sound of the fans in Jamsil."
In the match against KIA in Daejeon on the 29th, he made his first appearance in front of home fans. Kwon Min-gyu took over the mound from the top of the sixth inning when starter Ryan Weiss was losing 3-4 after playing five innings. After dealing with the ground ball of the lead Han Jun-su himself, Hong Jong-pyo caught it with a running strikeout. Later, he allowed a walk to Kim Kyu-sung, but he caught Choi Won-joon with a ground ball to the first base at the first pitch and settled the inning without much crisis.
Kwon Min-gyu, who took the mound in the top of the seventh inning as well, caught Seo Geon-chang with a fly ball to the left field and replaced Kim Jong-soo to wrap up the day's pitching. Hanwha, which endured strong pitching by Kwon and Kim Jong-soo, won the game 5-4. The next day, manager Kim Kyung-moon said of Kwon Min-gyu, "I felt strange because I only threw starting pitchers in high school and played in the bullpen," adding, "I felt the worst condition I've ever seen. He reportedly warmed up once or twice more. That's why I'm tired." 메이저사이트
