Won Tae-in, '1st in most wins, 2nd in ERA' "I blamed myself, then hit 150km"
“I blame myself after causing a crisis in the bottom of the 5th inning It seems like my dormant instincts have come back to life.” “My current personal record is surprising even to me but I want to throw a better ball.”
Samsung Ace Won Tae-in
Won Tae-in (24, Samsung Lions) held a bigger celebration than usual after handling Soo-bin Su (32, Doosan Bears) with a ground ball to first base in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs and the bases loaded.
Won Tae-in, whom we met after the game, confessed, "It was a reprimand directed at me," and "I was in a difficult game for no reason, and ended up with the bases loaded. Fortunately, the inning ended without allowing any runs, and I screamed with a mixture of relief and a reprimand directed at me."
‘Self-blame’ is Ace’s fate.
Won Tae-in, acknowledged by Samsung coach Park Jin-man as the ‘team’s number one starter,’ is on his way to becoming an ace.
Won Tae-in started on the mound in the professional baseball visiting game against Doosan held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd, pitched 6 innings, allowed 3 hits and 1 run (unearned), and earned his 5th win (1 loss) of the season.
He rose to the sole lead in the number of wins category, and maintained second place by lowering his average ERA from 2.10 to 1.79.
The top ERA is KIA Tigers foreign pitcher James Nail (1.26).
On this day, Won Tae-in pitched ‘perfectly’, not allowing a single player to get on base until the third inning.
However, in the 4th inning, leadoff hitter Jeong Soo-bin gave up a hit to right, putting an end to his perfect streak.
When the next batter, Heo Gyeong-min, hit a ground ball in front of the first baseman, Won Tae-in covered first base.
He stepped on first base and caught Heo Gyeong-min, but was unable to stop Soo-bin Soo-bin from behind him from stepping on second base and running to third base.
Won Tae-in hurriedly threw the ball to third base, but the ball ignored third baseman Ryu Ji-hyuk's glove, giving Doosan one point (unearned fault).
He pondered, “If I had thrown accurately, I could have caught the runner heading to third base…” but also said, “I quickly forgot about that scene and focused on the pitch.”
Won Tae-in gave up two walks in the fifth inning, putting himself in danger with two outs and bases loaded.
However, he led Su-bin Jeong to a ground ball to first base, quickly covered first base, and ended the 5th inning without giving up a run.
Won Tae-in grinned, "I was really disappointed with the pitch in the 5th inning. I was really angry at myself for bringing on the crisis, but I'm glad I didn't give up a run."
He added, "As I was blaming myself, something boiled inside me, and after that, the ball became faster. Today, I hit 150 km/h for the first time in a long time," and added, "It seems like the instincts that were dormant while I was blaming myself have come back to life."
Although his 'no-run streak' came to a halt due to his throwing error, Won Tae-in had three consecutive rain games, following the match against Hanwha Eagles on April 20th (6 innings, 2 hits, no runs) and the Kiwoom Heroes match on the 26th (7 innings, 2 hits, no runs). He continued to pitch well by allowing runs.
Although it is still early in the season, he has enjoyed the joy of entering the 1-point ERA range.
Won Tae-in said, "I'm surprised too," and said, "I caught the ball later than usual in this year's spring camp, so I thought I would struggle at the beginning of this season. But I'm showing unbelievable results at the beginning of this season," he said with a surprised expression.
Won Tae-in's stature has not yet reached its peak. This means that you can achieve more surprising results.
Won Tae-in waved his hand and said, "Of course, I don't think I will be first in most wins or finish the season with an ERA in the 1-point range," but predicted, "My pitch status is gradually improving. I will throw a better ball than I am now." did.
