'September ERA 5.74' Wobbly Multi-Winner, Rebound For Title-Autumn Baseball Is Desperate

Won Tae-in (24) of the Samsung Lions, who won only seven games despite his outstanding performance due to bad luck last year, is looking forward to winning the most games. However, he is rapidly shaking in September, when his team's advance to autumn baseball became a final showdown.스포츠토토

Won Tae-in will start Game 15 of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League season against the Kiwoom Heroes at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 21st.

For the first title in his life, he needs a pitch to shake off his slump to play his role in the much-anticipated fall baseball.

Won Tae-in, a "local boy" who wore a Samsung uniform as the first designated player in 2019, has played more than 100 innings since his debut season, gaining many opportunities and winning 14 games in 2021, his third year, making a brilliant contribution to his team's advance to fall baseball.

Won Tae-in, who won 10 games in 2022, had an outstanding performance with an ERA of 3.24 last year, but only won 7 games because he did not receive much support from the batters.

Won, who also played an active role in the national team, blocked two innings perfectly after putting on the national flag at an exhibition game against the San Diego Padres in the Major League Baseball ahead of this season. Notably, he displayed fantastic change-ups to strike out big league hitters, boosting his confidence.

With this opportunity, Won Tae-in, who had a clear dream of MLB, pitched even more completely in the season.

Above all, ace pitchers stood out. Although he was shaken a lot from the first inning, he made efforts to fulfill his minimum role. Of his 27 starts, he played in only two games in which he failed to complete even five innings.

However, the team has been on a shaky ground since September. While playing 153 ⅔ innings, he has 14 wins and six losses, ERA 3.75 and is ranking first in multiple wins alone, but his slump has been prolonged, with ERA 5.74 for three games in September and ERA 6.53 for the last four games.

He needs to make efforts to win his first title in the pro league. Currently, four pitchers – Um Sang-baek (KT), Kyle Hart (NC), Kwak Bin (Doosan), and Enmanuel de Heysus (Kium) – are closely trailing Won with 13 wins.

Moreover, in order to get closer to the dream of becoming an autumn baseball player, we need to elevate our performance. Samsung, which entered fall baseball in second place after the tiebreaker in 2021, ended its fall baseball season by losing two consecutive games to Doosan, which had been ranked fourth. Won Tae-in, who was the third pitcher in the second game at the time, gave up two hits, three walks and two runs during one ⅓ inning, leaving a painful memory of his first fall baseball.

With five more games to go, Samsung is currently in second place, four games ahead of third-ranked LG. In fact, with chances are high that he will directly advance to the playoff as he did three years ago, Won will have to take charge of one game as a starter unlike back then. As he now feels heavier on his shoulders, he desperately needs a rebound for his dream of fall.
