Moon Dong-ju, Disappointing Fastball Show… Ryu Hyun-jin Told me not to Throw 150 km
Moon Dong-joo, conscious of the MLB showcase, walked 4 times in the first inning… The maximum speed was lowered to 155 km, and in the second inning, a good three-way offense was made… gained great experience
Korean Monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to the Hanwha Eagles, recently told a serious joke to the team’s junior, Moon Dong-ju.
He told Moon Dong-ju, who was leaving for the national team to participate in the Major League Baseball (ML Seoul Series, “I will scold you if you throw a fastball over 150 km per hour.” https://www.powerballsite.com
Moon Dong-ju is the best fastball pitcher in Korea, having thrown a fastball in the 160 km/h range for the first time in Korean professional baseball in the KBO League last April.
It was somewhat incomprehensible that Moon Dong-ju was told not to throw fastballs.
Ryu Hyun-jin’s advice had deep meaning.
Moon Dong-ju dreams of advancing to MLB in the distant future.
He may throw unreasonably because of his obsession with showing a good performance when facing MLB players whom he usually envies. https://www.anobii.com/en/collections/6117921
Excessive pitching ruins the game and carries the risk of injury.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who was successful in MLB, was well aware of the psychology of Moon Dong-ju, who was dealing with big leaguers for the first time.
