KT Sidearm Eom Sang-baek (27) showed off a good fight in the first official appearance of the season. He met SSG and showed an overwhelming appearance.
Am Seong-baek started on the 19th at Suwon KT Wiz Park in the 2023 KBO League regular season SSG and the second game of 3 consecutive weeks, and made a good pitch with 5 innings, 2 hits, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts and no runs. The team is ahead 5-0. We see the first win of the season.
He made his first start of the season against home KIA on the 4th. He pitched three scoreless innings. He had to come down early as elbow pain developed. The record was not recorded as the game was treated as a no game due to rain.안전놀이터
He rested, his elbow condition improved, and he pitched without any problems. On this day, I stood on the mound again after 15 days. He looked strong. With a changeup dancing on a fastball with a maximum speed of 148 km/h, he cooked the SSG lineup. The pitching was also close to perfect.
On the 18th, coach Lee Kang-cheol said, “When Um Sang-baek returns, the starting lineup will have more room. He can go comfortably,” he said. It means that I have been waiting for Eom Sang-baek.
He didn’t overdo it instead. Before the game, “He said he was thinking about 70 pitches in 5 innings for Um Sang-baek. He said, “No matter how many there are, he will not exceed 80 districts.”
He cut like a knife. He ate five innings, throwing 68, and was pulled right out. He raised Son Dong-hyun in the 6th inning. Eom Sang-baek’s comeback match was a success itself.
In the top of the first inning, he handled Choi Ji-hoon with a fly ball to center fielder, and then gave up a left-handed hit to Guillermo Heredia. He ended the inning by inducing a ground ball to Shin-soo Choo on first base, leading to a double play.
In the top of the second inning, Choi Jeong was caught with a fly ball to right field, and Choi Joo-hwan blocked it with a ground ball to first base. Park Seong-han struck out three pitches and made a tripartite inning. Even at the beginning of the 3rd inning, Hanyu-seom, Jeon Eui-san, and Kim Min-sik were struck out, struck out, and grounded to first base. 2 consecutive triplets.
In the top of the 4th inning, Choi Ji-hoon was hit by shortstop and Heredia was struck out, resulting in two outs. He sent Choo Shin-soo for a walk, and allowed an infield hit that flowed toward the shortstop after being hit by Choi Jeong at third base. 2 companies 1st and 2nd base. He struck out Joo-hwan Choi and finished the inning.
The 5th inning was clean again. Park Seong-han was subdued with a fly ball from the third baseman, and Han Yu-seom handled a fly ball from the shortstop. He returned Jeon Ui-san as a strikeout and led to the third tripartite offense in the game. raining99@sportsseoul.com
