Sidearm pitcher Ha-neul Choi (24), who was dropped as the Samsung Lions’ fifth starter, performed poorly in his first appearance of the season 메이저놀이터.
Choi Ha-neul started an away game against the NC Dinos held at Changwon NC Park in Gyeongnam on the 20th, and after recording 7 hits, 1 home run, 1 walk and 7 runs in 1⅓ innings, he was knocked out early.
I was anxious from the start. At the end of the first inning, Choi Ha-neul, who allowed lead hitter Son Ah-seop to hit a double, seemed to take a breather by treating Park Min-woo as a fly ball to center fielder. However, he was shaken by allowing a two-run home run to Park Gun-woo from first out and second base.
Afterwards, he gave up a walk to Martin, and Kwon Hee-dong handled a fly ball to left field, but allowed a timely double to Park Se-hyeok and gave up the third run. In the continuing second-out crisis, Choi Ha-neul blocked Kim Joo-won with a ground ball to second base and finished the first inning with difficulty.
The second time was also difficult. Choi Ha-neul, who allowed lead hitter Do Tae-hoon to hit and Seo Ho-cheol to hit doubles in a row, allowed Son Ah-seop to score two RBIs and doubles, raising the run to 5 points. He caught Park Min-woo with a floating ball in right field and raised the first out count in the second inning, but allowed a timely hit once again to Park Gun-woo, who allowed a home run in the first inning.
In the end, the Samsung bench did not give Choi Ha-neul any more chances. Left-handed pitcher Heo Yoon-dong, who was warming up in the bullpen, climbed the mound in place of Choi Ha-neul. After allowing Martin to hit a double, Heo Yun-dong allowed a sacrifice fly to Kwon Hee-dong with one out on second and third base. As runner Park Geon-woo scored, Ha-neul Choi’s concession increased to 7 points.
Choi Ha-neul recorded an average ERA of 1.02 in the Futures League this season with 2 wins and no losses in 4 games. Coach Park Jin-man, who was looking for a starting pitcher, gave Ha-eul Choi a chance, but his first appearance in the first team of the season ended with a disappointing result.
