I was not pushed by the best pitcher in Korea. Doosan Bears pitcher Kim Dong-ju (21) once again proved his potential.

Kim Dong-ju started the home game against Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 13th and pitched 4 innings and allowed 1 run. He had only two hits while striking out four.

The opponent on this day was Ahn Woo-jin, who won the Golden Glove pitcher category last year. Prior to the game, Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “I hope Kim Dong-joo will develop by facing the best pitcher in Korea.”메이저사이트

A head-to-head match between Kim Dong-joo, who is in the starting rotation for the first time this year, and An Woo-jin, the first starter and ace of Kiwoom. Whoever it was, Kim Dong-ju was an unfavorable fight.

However, Kim Dong-ju persevered and threw his ball vigorously. In the first inning, an outfielder fly-out resulted in a tripartite withdrawal.

In the second inning, Park Joo-hong gave up a walk, but Park Chan-hyuk and Lim Byung-wook struck out. The 130km/h slider stood out.

In the 3rd inning, Kim Dong-joo allowed Lee Ji-young to hit right handedly and got a hit for the first time, but Kim Hwi-jip and Kim Hye-seong struck out and finished the inning with no runs.

In the 4th inning, Kim Dong-joo sent Lee Jung-hoo with a hit ball and Park Joo-hong on a walk, but Park Chan-hyeok on a double play in the 1st and 2nd bases and continued the scoreless march.

On the mound again in the 5th inning, Kim Dong-ju allowed Lim Byung-wook a heavy hit and Kim Hui-jip a walk before going down the mound. Then Choi Ji-gang, who climbed the mound, allowed Kim Hye-sung a left field fly and called Lim Byung-wook home. Kim Dong-joo recorded one earned run.

On this day, Kim Dong-joo’s highest fastball speed was 148 km/h. He threw a total of 70 pitches, including a fastball (25 pitches), slider (31 pitches), splitter (13 pitches), and curve ball (1 pitch), mainly using a breaking ball. The slider in the 130 km range adjusted the speed by pulling it down to the minimum speed of 113 km per hour.

Kim Dong-ju made his first start this season against NC on the 6th and pitched 6 scoreless innings and became the winning pitcher. On this day, he was strong in 4 innings, but the strong pitching in the last 6th proved that it was not an accident. et16@sportsseoul.com
