‘Debutant QS’ high school graduate praised by Choi Won-ho

Rookie left-hander Cho Dong-wook of the Hanwha Eagles pitched a quality start and earned the win in his debut.

Hanwha, led by head coach Choi Won-ho, won 8-3 at home against Kiwoom in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League on Wednesday at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon. The extra-inning victory on the first day of the series helped Hanwha bounce back from a 1-7 loss the day before to clinch the sweep. With Kiwoom’s loss and Hanwha’s win, the two teams evened their season record at 16-24 and moved back into a tie for eighth place.

Cho Dong-wook, Hanwha’s 11th overall pick in the second round out of Jangchung High School, pitched six innings of three-hit ball with one walk and one run (unearned) to earn the win in his first professional start. It’s been nearly six years since a high school rookie achieved a quality start in his debut, when Samsung’s Yang Chang-seop threw six innings of four-hit ball with one walk and one strikeout against the Gwangju KIA on March 28, 2018.

In addition, there have been only 10 previous times a high school rookie 안전놀이터 pitcher has earned a quality start in his debut, making Cho Dong-wook the 11th. The previous 10 were made by Cho’s friend and teammate Hwang Jun-seo, who pitched five innings of one-run ball against KT in Daejeon on March 31. Hwang and Cho are the first two Hanwha pitchers to win their debut starts since Ryu Hyun-jin did it on April 12, 2006, against the LG Twins in Jamsil.

Jo Dong-wook was followed by Lee Min-woo, Kim Kyu-yeon, and Joo Hyun-sang in the bullpen to preserve the win. Joo earned his second save of the season. At the plate, Kim Tae-yeon and Roh Si-hwan recorded multi-hit games, and six different players – Choi In-ho, Ahn Chi-hong, Kim Tae-yeon, Moon Hyeon-bin, Choi Jae-hoon, and Jung Eun-won – scored at the right time.

Hanwha gave up a run to Kiwoom in the top of the third inning, but answered right back in the bottom of the inning. Choi Jae-hoon led off with a walk and Jeong Eun-won grounded out to shortstop, but a throwing error by Jeon Jun-pyo, who was trying to catch Choi In-ho’s grounder to first base, kept both runners safe. With runners on first and third, a wild pitch brought home Choi Jae-hoon to tie the game at 1-1. Choi then stole second and advanced 파워볼사이트 to third on an error by the second baseman in Peraza’s at-bat, allowing Choi to steal third and come home to make the score 2-1.

With the lead in hand, Hanwha scored three more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning against reliever Yoon Seok-won to pull away from Kiwoom. After back-to-back singles by Noh Si-hwan and Hwang Young-mook, Kim Tae-yeon’s double to left scored Noh and Hwang Young-mook came home on Moon Hyun-bin’s grounder to make the score 7-1. In the bottom of the seventh, pinch-hitter Lee Do-yoon drew a walk against Oh Seok-joo and scored on Choi Jae-hoon’s double to right to make it 8-1. Kiwoom then gave up a two-run single, but the lead was preserved to secure the win.

After the game, Choi Won-ho said, “Dong-wook Cho pitched a really great game. It could have been shaky because of an error, but he overcame it well and won his debut quality start.” ‘I want to congratulate him,’ Choi said.

“I also want to praise our closer Joo Hyun-hyun, who came into the game in a situation that could have given the opponent the lead, but he handled the situation well and secured the win for the team. The batsmen also played their part, scoring runs with good hitting when they needed to,” he applauded his players.
