In the match between Daejeon Doosan and Hanwha on the 18th, attention is focused on Moon Dong-ju (20, Hanwha), who threw a 160km fastball in an official KBO League game for the first time as a Korean pitcher. Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop also praised Moon Dong-ju as “a very good pitcher,” while revealing a secret strategy.

Coach Lee Seung-yeop said of Moon Dong-ju in an interview before the game, “He is a very good pitcher. When he got his first win, he pitched really well. He has good curves and throws up to 160km. We won’t have many chances. He said, “If you are in really good condition, it is difficult to hit, but if you are a pro, you have to be able to hit even if it is difficult.”

Next, coach Lee said, “In the power analysis team, Moon Dong-ju’s high ball is good, but the key is whether to endure it or to attack it.” We must hit to win. I don’t think I have to shake it or watch the ball a lot,” he explained.

On this day, Doosan is not the best lineup. Both Kim Jae-hwan and Heo Kyung-min, the main guns, were left out of the starting lineup. Director Lee said, “Kim Jae-hwan needs to be taken care of because his knee is filled with water. Heo Gyeong-min also felt uncomfortable in his side during the weekend game. Both wait on the bench today. I don’t want to overdo it, but if there is a chance in the second half of the game, I can go out as a pinch hitter.”
