Hanwha Eagles Hwang Joon-seo did his part as a starter, but lost his first game of the season without receiving support from the batters.
The Hanwha Eagles lost 1-2 in an away game against the LG Twins in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. The loss put the season record at 31 wins and 22 losses for the second-ranked Hanwha Eagles, and the game gap with the first-ranked LG Twins, who had 34 wins, 1 draw and 18 losses with two consecutive wins, widened to 3.5 games gap.
Hwang Jun-seo started the first game of the big match series. Hwang, who was called up as a substitute for an empty spot as Um Sang-baek moved down to the second division in a readjustment drive, allowed two hits, two walks and four strikeouts (one earned run) during three ⅓ innings against Ulsan NC Dinosaurs on Monday, his first appearance of the season. At the time, he went down to a 2-2 tie and recorded no win or loss.
Ahead of the match, head coach Kim Kyung-moon said of Hwang Joon-seo, "I keep giving him opportunities unless there's anything special. Shouldn't we see how star-studded he will throw in a wide field?" and added, "I couldn't fill five innings last time, but I hope he will fill five innings to win or lose."
And Hwang Joon-seo allowed two runs in the bottom of the first inning, but he did his part until the fifth inning and went down the mound. On March 26, he won a shutout against Hanwha, and on the same day, he faced LG starter Lim Chan-kyu, who pitched well with one run in seven innings, making an equal game.
After dealing with Moon Sung-joo and Kim Hyun-soo with a fly ball in the bottom of the first inning, Hwang Joon-seo, who lost a point after receiving a hit by Moon Bo-kyung after Choi Jae-hoon's foil, allowed a walk to Park Dong-won and lost another point after being hit by Koo Bon-hyuk. In the bases-loaded crisis, which continued with Shin Min-jae's walk, Park Hae-min grounded out to shortstop and cleared the inning without additional runs.
In the bottom of the second inning, Lee Young-bin had a fly ball to right field, Moon Sung-joo had a grounder to first baseman, and Kim Hyun-soo had a straight hit to first baseman. In the bottom of the third inning, he also allowed Austin to pass a foul fly to third baseman and Moon Bo-kyung to walk straight, but Park Dong-won and Koo Bon-hyuk were handled to shortstop and center fielder, respectively, which did not lead to a major crisis.
Hwang Joon-seo handled Shin Min-jae's bunt ground ball directly in the bottom of the fourth inning, allowed Park Hae-min to steal after walking, but increased the out count by checking Park Hae-min, who had a large lead at second base. Lee Young-bin grounded out to third base, and finished his pitch neatly in the bottom of the fifth inning with a groundout to second base Moon Sung-joo, a strikeout to Kim Hyun-soo, and a fly ball to right field in Austin.
a total of 84 pitches. He dealt with LG's batters by mixing up to 147 kilometers per hour fastball, curveball, and slider. However, it was painful that he did not receive any support from the batters while he was on the mound. Manager Kim Kyung-moon would have wished Hwang Joon-seo would win among the wins and losses mentioned before the game, but he lost rather than wins. 스포츠토토
Meanwhile, Hwang is expected to receive another starting opportunity despite Eom's return. Eom will start at the match against NC Dinosaurs in Changwon on Saturday, an empty spot created by Moon Dong-ju's removal from the first-team roster. Coach Kim Kyung-moon said Hwang will start after four days off in order against NC Dinosaurs on June 1, the next day.
