“Is it 149 km per hour?”
Won Tae-in (23), Samsung’s ‘local ace’, showed off the best pitching this season. He showed off his powerful pitch, and his control was good. Speed came out too. However, Wontaein is ‘still’. He doesn’t like it very much.
Won Tae-in started on the 16th at the Daegu Samsung Lions Park in the 2023 KBO League regular season Lotte and the last game of the weekend three-game series, and played a quality start (QS) with 6.2 innings, 7 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 2 strikeouts and 1 run. became the winning pitcher.
On this day, Samsung won 9-1 as the batting line exploded amid Won Tae-in’s good fight. On this day, the bat picked up 5 balls with 13 hits, and succeeded in scoring multiple runs. I lightened Won Tae-in’s shoulders. He was on the quiet side until the 4th inning, but laughed as he gave up 2 runs in the 5th and 7 runs in the 6th.
There were 3-5 crises. Especially he catches my eye in the 3rd episode. He also scored 5 runs in the 3rd inning against Hanwha on the 4th, and also scored 3 runs in the 3rd inning against SSG on the 11th. He faltered in the third after blocking the first or second well. In the previous two games, the third inning hit rate reached a whopping 0.444.
On this day, in the beginning of the 3rd inning, Yoo Kang-nam and Lee Hak-joo gave consecutive walks and were driven to 1st and 2nd base safely. Instead, this time, he knows without making any mistakes. He induced Park Seung-wook to double play and blocked Ahn Kwon-soo with a floating ball. I was able to go through this hurdle without losing a point.
After the game, Won Tae-in said, “I thought, ‘Why is it three times again’? came up He won with the idea of not giving even one point. It seemed like a bunt would come out from 1st and 2nd base. The count became 0-2 as the first and second pitches became fouls. I thought, ‘It’s worth doing’. I was able to get over it well as the sickness came out스포츠토토,” he explained.
He continued, “The 3rd episode was great. I think the ball was good in the last game, but I couldn’t overcome the crisis. I passed the flow. Today, there was a crisis 3 times, but I thought that if I overcome it, the flow will come. I concentrated and blocked it,” he emphasized.
Above all, the pitch was good. In the case of speed, it was thrown up to 149 km per hour. His unique changeup danced, and his slider was also powerful. Won Tae-in also said, “I felt that my pitch improved as I went through the 3rd. He wanted to focus on fastball. (Kang) Minho gave me an autograph like that,” he explained.
The story of redemption came out. She laughed, saying, “I didn’t come out much at 149 km/h,” and then said, “I threw 152 km/h on the last pitch. It’s my best restraint. Today, compared to the last game, I changed my arm angle a little. I did it to make use of my strengths,” he pointed out.
“Today, I raised my arm for feeling. The restraint is about 1-2 km away. Guwi lives instead. I wanted to use my strengths,” he said.
There is no giving up. Won Tae-in said, “The fact that I reached 152 km per hour means that my body is fine. I threw it while thinking of Ahn Woo-jin and Moon Dong-ju, but it didn’t work either. I think I have to find my own style and do what I always do,” he laughed.
However, “I want to increase the speed while saving the pitch. Redemption is my dream. can’t give up try again If you lower your arms, more restraint comes out. There seems to be a point where you can use your strength well. Instead, it becomes an angle that is easy for the batter to hit. For now, grades come first.”
That’s how I won 1. It’s late, but not too late. “My coach said that if I win 2 times a month, it is 12 wins. He said don’t be in a hurry. He told me not to do anything. prepared more carefully. There is only one thing left to do well in the future,” he said with confidence.
