Moon Dong-joo looking forward to MLB ‘Seoul Series’

 Young Gun’ Moon Dong-ju (21, Hanwha Eagles), who represents Korean baseball, expressed his expectations for the Major League World Tour ‘Seoul Series’, which is coming in two weeks.


After completing the team's spring camp schedule, Moon Dong-ju returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport with the Hanwha team on the afternoon of the 4th.


Moon Dong-ju, who won the rookie of the year award with 8 wins, 8 losses and an ERA of 3.72 last year, in his second year of debut, is raising even more expectations this year. This is because, unlike last year when there was an 'innings limit', the starting rotation will be played full-time this year.


Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho expressed his expectations, saying, “Unless Moon Dong-ju gets hurt, there will be no skipping the rotation.”


Moon Dong-ju also has extraordinary determination. He said, “For now, we are aiming for regulation innings, but I think we need to aim higher than that.”


This year, the change-up is equipped as a new weapon. He used a change-up last year as well, but plans to change his grip and use it more sharply.


Dong-ju Moon said, "There are a lot of wild pitches in practice games, but I'm not worried about them," and added, "I think I need to throw a lot to be able to throw confidently in games."


It is very likely that Moon Dong-ju will be given the opportunity to face major leaguers before the start of the regular season.


Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres and San Francisco will play their opening two-game series at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th and 21st. Prior to this, a special match is scheduled with Kiwoom Heroes, LG Twins, and 'Team Korea' led by coach Ryu Joong-il on the 17th and 18th.


Moon Dong-ju, who was selected as a member of the national team for last year's Asian Games and Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC), is highly likely to be selected for this year's national team as well. For Moon Dong-ju, personally, it is a good opportunity to play against players of different levels.


Moon Dong-ju also expressed his expectations. He said, "He doesn't know whether he will be selected for the national team or not, or which game he will play, but he is preparing with the thought that he can play."


He continued, “I want to enjoy it because it is a great opportunity that I never know will happen again,” and added, “I especially want to make people like me known.”


The Dodgers and San Diego have many star players representing the major leagues. The Dodgers have a trio of MVPs including Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts, and San Diego also boasts a brilliant lineup including Fernando Tatis Jr., Xander Bogaerts, and Ha-seong Kim.


Dong-ju Moon said, "I've been watching a lot of Major League exhibition games these days, and I'd like to play against Ohtani as well. In fact, both teams are one of the strongest teams in the Major League, so I'm looking forward to whoever I play against. I'll do my best to throw against every hitter." And I made up my mind.

“I will compete next year in my 5th year as a professional”

 Hanwha Eagles' right-handed pitcher Nam Ji-min (22) returned from Miyazaki, Japan's finishing camp on the 19th. In early October, he departed for Japan to participate in the Miyazaki Instructional League (Phoenix League), fall camp, and returned after 40 days. His right shoulder was a little bad, so he arrived 10 days before the team's main team. Nam Ji-min, who met at the Hanwha 2nd Army training center in Seosan, South Chungcheong Province on the 20th, said, "Rather than an injury, I think it can be seen as accumulated fatigue." The Hanwha coaching staff decided that it would be better to return to Korea and rest. Nam Ji-min will stay in Seosan until the end of November, and then continue preparing for next season in his hometown of Busan in December. On October 30, the final day of the instructional league, he took the mound against the Yakult Swallows and faced 15 batters over 4 innings and threw 47 pitches. He gave up two hits and one walk and struck out one...
