Lee Tae-yang, Hanwha’s first win in 2250 days…FA 25 billion not wasted, Williams wedge hit ‘Hanwha wins 3 in a row’ [Changwon Review].

Hanwha defeats NC for third straight win. Lee Tae-yang, who returned to his hometown team as a free agent, made his first start for Hanwha in six years.

Hanwha won a 4-3 road game against NC in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League on Saturday at Changwon NC Park.

Starting pitcher Lee Tae-yang earned his second win of the season and first start in six years with five innings of four-hit ball, striking out one and walking one. It was the first time in 2,250 days since June 18, 2017, against Suwon KT (5 innings, 2 earned runs) that he won a start for Hanwha.

Substitute Jang Jin-hyuk also contributed to Hanwha’s victory with a walk and a stolen base that set the stage for the game-winning run in the sixth inning, followed by an RBI triple in the eighth. Foreign hitter Nick Williams also contributed with a two-hit multi-hit performance, including a walk-off single in the ninth.

Eighth-ranked Hanwha, which has won three straight, is now 41-52-6. Fourth-ranked NC, which lost its third straight game after going silent at the plate for the second straight day, is 50-47-2.

Ita-Yang gives up 1 run on 63 pitches in 5 innings, first start in 6 years for Hanwha

Hanwha has been without four or five starters since late June, leaving two holes in its starting rotation. With Kim Min-woo out with a shoulder injury and Jang Min-jae and Han Seung-hyuk struggling, Hanwha manager Choi Won-ho’s problems deepened. In the end, he opted to start Lee Tae-yang, an all-weather pitcher from the bullpen. He had previously started two games as a substitute, but this time he officially joined the rotation. Before the game, Choi Won-ho said, “Lee Tae-yang had five days off after pitching this time. She can throw about 70-80 pitches. I hope she can throw until the fifth inning.”

Choi’s expectations were met by Lee Tae-yang. After a diving catch by right fielder Kim Tae-yeon in the top of the first inning, Lee gave up a triple to right-center field to Park Min-woo, who gave up a sacrifice fly to Park Gun-woo to give up the first run of the game, but he quickly got through the fifth inning without allowing another run. After getting Kim Joo-won to fly out to center with runners on second and third in the bottom of the inning, he ended the third inning with seven pitches. Two batters later, Park Gun-woo singled to left, but was thrown out at second base on a wild pitch by Nick Williams.

After retiring the fourth through sixth centers with 10 pitches in the fourth inning – Jason Martin (flyout to left), Kwon Hee-dong (shortstop) and Oh Young-soo (grounder to shortstop) – Lee retired the fifth on a throwing error by Noh Si-hwan that allowed leadoff hitter Do Tae-hoon to reach first base, but Ahn Jung-yeol induced a double play on the first pitch. It was a good hit, but it bounced off the glove of Hanwha second baseman Moon Hyun-bin and into the hands of Lee Do-yoon at second base. After getting the next batter, Kim Joo-won, to fly out to right field, Lee ended the fifth inning with 63 pitches.

Of those 63 pitches, 46 were strikes, a 73.0% success rate. In addition to his fastball, which topped out at 144km/h (24), he mixed in a slider (17), curveball, and forkball (11+). His only strikeout came to Martin in the first inning, but he was efficient with his pitches, conserving them for strikes. He didn’t have a fiery fastball, but he did a good job of getting hitters to drive the ball down the line.

바카라사이트 With his second win of the season, along with his first start, Lee lowered his ERA from 2.43 to 2.37. It was his first start in 326 days since September 24 of last year, when he pitched five innings and allowed one run against Doosan in Munhak, while still with SSG. It was his first start for Hanwha since June 18, 2017, against Suwon KT (5 innings, 2 earned runs). Since returning to his hometown team Hanwha last winter for four years and 2.5 billion won, Lee has become one of the best value free agent signings.

Kim Tae-yeon injured, Jang Jin-hyuk hits a three-run triple to score the winning run

Hanwha’s bats also scored the runs they needed, albeit not prolifically. In the first inning against NC starter Choi Sung-young, Moon Hyun-bin doubled to left-center and Nick Williams singled to right to put runners on first and third, and Noh Si-hwan’s sacrifice fly to center field gave them the lead. The 1-1 tie was broken in the sixth inning by outfielder Jang Jin-hyuk, who came in off the bench.

Right fielder Kim Tae-yeon, who made a diving catch on Park Min-woo’s triple in the first inning, felt pain in his left wrist and was replaced during the third inning. Jang Jin-hyuk moved to center field and Lee Jin-young moved to right field. After Jang grounded out to shortstop in his first at-bat in the fourth inning, he walked and stole second base in the top of the sixth. He then came home from third on Lee Jin-young’s single to left field to give Korea a 2-1 lead.

The key run came from Jang Jin-hyuk. With two outs in the eighth inning, Jang took advantage of a first-pitch fastball from NC left-hander Kim Young-gyu and smashed a triple into the right field seats. In the meantime, Noh Si-hwan sprinted home from first base to make it 3-1. Jang Jin-hyuk came in as a pinch-hitter and went 1-for-2 with a double, one RBI, one run scored, and one walk.

In the top of the ninth, Hanwha put runners on second and third after back-to-back singles by Choi Jae-hoon and Lee Do-yoon, and Williams drove in the winning run with a single over the right-field fence. Williams finished 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI.

The Hanwha bullpen also protected the lead. After Lee went down, Joo Hyun-sang in the sixth, Kim Bum-soo in the seventh, and Jang Si-hwan in the eighth pitched a scoreless inning. In the ninth, Park Sang-won gave up two runs but did not allow the tying run to score and earned his 10th save of the season. First double-digit save of his career.

For NC, Choi Sung-young pitched five innings of five-hit ball with two walks and one strikeout, but was unable to get any offensive support and was left without a win. Kim Si-hoon, who gave up the game-winning hit in the sixth inning, took his second loss of the season (4-4). With his RBI double in the ninth, Park Gun-woo recorded his eighth straight 100-hit season, dating back to 2016. It is the 21st record in KBO history.
