Up until right before the opening of the regular season, he was a strong candidate for the fifth starting pitcher. However, he failed to meet expectations when he had the chance to start again after starting with a bullpen. Even the Lotte Giants' Park Jin did not get a passing score as a starter. Then, who should be the next candidate.토토사이트
Lotte suffered a crushing defeat against the NC Dinosaurs 4-13 at Sajik Stadium in Busan on Sunday. It came from behind to win 4-3 after a close game on Sunday, but faced a crushing defeat as the mound collapsed completely on the day.
The starting pitcher for Lotte on the day was Park Jin-young. Park Jin-young pitched in 14 games before the game, recording one win, one loss, one save and one hold with an ERA of 4.67. He prepared for the season as a fifth starter, but failed in the competition and played as a substitute. As Kim Jin-wook showed poor performance one after another, he started the game against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on April 27, but allowed three hits, two walks, and two runs in three ⅓ innings to become the losing pitcher.
Park Jin-young had another chance to start the game. However, she still has some regrets in this game. After the first inning with one out, she gave up a hit to the center field to Kim Joo-won and a hit to the right field to Park Min-woo, putting her on the verge of losing the game with one out and runners on the first and third bases. Davidson also had a timely hit to right and center, allowing the first run. Afterwards, he gave up another timely hit to left-center field Son. He allowed two runs first. With runners on the first and third bases with one out, he overcame the first crisis by hitting Seo with a double play by third baseman.
However, he lost extra point in the second inning when he was hit with a solo shot by leadoff hitter Kim Hyung-joon. Later, he handled Kim Hui-jip directly with a fly ball to the pitcher, and Han Suk-hyun with a fly ball to the center field and Kwon Hee-dong with a ground ball to the shortstop.
In the bottom of the second inning, the team's batters tied the score 3-3, giving up a shot to support Park Jin. However, the team gave up a bunt hit to leadoff hitter Kim Joo-won and even allowed him to steal second base. Park struck out and Davidson also gave a fly ball to the center field, making it two outs and third base. Son gave up a walk that was intentional and four pitches. With two outs and runners on the first and third bases, however, Seo gave up a timely double after hitting the third baseman's glove. It was a bit of bad luck. In the end, he allowed four runs. With runners on the second and third bases with two outs, he caught Kim Hyung-joon with a fly ball to the right field and left the mound.
Park's mission was to continue through the third inning. During the three innings, Park threw 51 pitches, allowing seven hits (one homer), one walk, one strikeout, and four runs. Since then, the batters have tied the game 4-4 with Yoo Kang-nam's solo shot, and Park has recorded no loss.
On the day, Park used 23 fastballs, 20 cutters, five forkballs, two sliders, and one curveball, maximum of 147 kilometers. He struck 31 and had 20 balls. He did not show off his pitches. These were not the details of Kim's pitching that he hated. However, he couldn't overcome the batters in the end. As a substitute starter, he failed to display impressions.
Park Jin-young was named the spring camp MVP and was considered the most advanced pitcher in the offseason. Na Kyun-an won the competition to start five games, but Park Jin-young showed comparable results through spring camp, practice games and exhibition games. He made Kim Tae-hyung and pitching coach Joo Hyung-kwang agonize over the situation.
However, he failed to overcome pressure from bullpen pitchers after failing to participate in the starting pitcher competition. He returned to the starting lineup, but displayed disappointing results in two consecutive games.
The most important point in Lotte's future race is to normalize its starting lineup. If even Park Jin-young continues to show such performance, naturally, the bullpen will be overloaded. Kim Jin-wook, who was included in the starting rotation for the second consecutive game, showed difficulty in playing in two consecutive games even after moving to the second division. This amounts to 17.02 in terms of 12 earned runs and an earned run average in six ⅓ innings in two games. Yoon, who had 28 strikeouts and an earned run average of 1.17 over 15 ⅓ innings in the recent three games, is on the verge of a call-up in the first division, but his call-up was virtually eliminated due to back pain.
And Han Hyun-hee, an FA submarine, is constantly receiving opportunities in the second division, but has posted one win, three losses and an earned run average of 6.90 in seven games. His performance is not good enough to be called a "first team."
The team returned to the halfway point of nine consecutive games. After Park Jin, Lotte effectively threw a white flag on the day by operating a game to minimize the consumption of pitchers. The more such games become, the lower the pace of Lotte will inevitably drop.
Will other pitchers be able to dispel the disappointment of Park Jin who he believed in? Lotte's journey to find a starting candidate is expected to begin in the future.
