“It’s regrettable that we couldn’t take the lead in good chances in the 1st and 2nd innings.”
SSG Landers coach Kim Won-hyung looked back on the defeat the previous day (25th).
Coach Kim reviewed the game on the 25th ahead of an away game against the LG Twins in the 2023 professional baseball KBO League to be held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 26th.
SSG knelt down 4-5 after allowing Oh Ji-hwan a finishing hit in the bottom of the 9th inning at the same place on the 25th in the away LG game. With this, SSG gave up the lead to LG and placed second in a game car.
First, coach Kim sighed, saying, “The content of yesterday’s game was similar for both teams,” and “It’s a pity that we couldn’t take the lead in good chances in the 1st and 2nd innings.”
Seung-Won Moon, the starting pitcher for SSG in the match, only allowed 4 runs with 9 hits, 1 home run, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts, and 5 innings. In the bottom of the 3rd inning, Seung-Won Moon, who was hit with a solo shot by Hae-Min Park, gave Seo Geon-Chang a double after a run in the bottom of the 5th inning, and then dedicated a walk to Hae-Min Park, causing a crisis with 1 out and 1st and 2nd bases.
Afterwards, Seung-Won Moon was hit by Hong Chang-Ki with an RBI, right at the right time, and Seong-Joo Moon also gave an infield hit and was driven to a run with the bases loaded. In the end, he allowed Oh Ji-hwan to score two RBIs and a timely double through the middle right, recording the fourth run of the day. Moon Seung-Won, who walked again to Austin Dean, ended the inning with difficulty by putting Moon Bo-Kyung (strikeout) and Kim Min-Sung (center fielder fly) to sleep.
Director Kim Won-hyung said, “Moon Seung-won tried to do well. He wished he had thought it simple and threw it off the mound… He said, “I wonder if the home run hit by Hae-min Park in the previous at-bat remained in my head, and I gave up a walk in the 5th inning (from 1st out to 2nd base to Hae-min Park) and got twisted. He smiled bitterly, saying, “I regretted that point rather than getting hit and not getting hit.”스포츠토토
Guillermo Heredia, a foreign hitter from SSG, swung a bat with 4 hits and 3 RBIs in 5 at-bats on the 25th, but in the top of the 9th inning, with 2 outs and 1st base, a double that exceeded the height of Hanyu Island’s right fielder hit home and was out.
Regarding the situation at the time, coach Kim said, “The opponent’s fence play and relay play were so good that at that moment, I decided that I couldn’t come in from the bench.” I think it was because I was trying too hard. He was a two-out, so I think he had that thought too. (To Heredia) I didn’t say anything in particular. He could have lived at home if there had been a little bit of an opponent relay miss, but the base coach will take care of talking (to Heredia).”
On the other hand, SSG is Choo Shin-soo (designated hitter) – Choi Ji-hoon (right fielder) – Choi Jeong (3rd baseman) – Heredia (left fielder) – Kim Kang-min (center fielder) – Oh Tae-gon (1st baseman) – Park Seong-han (shortstop) – Kim Seong-hyeon (2nd baseman) – Kim Min-sik (catcher) builds the batting line. The starting pitcher is Song Young-jin.
