Professional baseball Kiwoom Heroes Ha Young-min achieved quality start plus (three earned runs or less in seven innings), but became a losing pitcher because he did not receive scoring support from the batters.온라인바카라

Ha Young-min started the "2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League" against the Samsung Lions at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 21st and lost seven innings with four hits, three walks, six strikeouts and three runs.

After blocking Samsung's batters with perfect pitching through the third inning, Ha gave up a walk to leadoff hitter Kim Ji-chan at the top of the fourth inning. With Kim Sung-yoon's sacrifice bunt, Koo Ja-wook's walk, and Lewin Diaz's bases-loaded walk, Ha Young-min was on the verge of hitting Ryu Ji-hyuk with a timely two-run shot, giving up the first run. Kang caught the ball with a fly ball to the shortstop.

Ha Young-min, who had three outs again in the fifth inning, was hit by leadoff hitter Kim Ji-chan in the sixth inning. Ha Young-min, who faced a crisis with one out and runners on second due to Kim Sung-yoon's sacrifice bunt, caught Koo Ja-wook with a ground ball to the third baseman, but allowed one more run due to Diaz's timely RBI. Ryu struck out to prevent further runs.

Ha Young-min, who also took the mound in the seventh inning, sent out leadoff hitter Kang Min-ho on an infield hit, and Ha Young-min, who was on the verge of a one-out and second base due to pinch hitter Yang Yang-geun's sacrifice bunt, automatically sent out Kim Young-woong to four pitches on purpose, and induced Lee Jae-hyun to play a 5-4-3 double play to escape the crisis without losing a point. In the eighth inning when Kiwoom lost 1-3, it handed over the mound to Yang Ji-yul. Kiwoom lost 1-6 after the bullpen gave up a run, and lost three consecutive games.

Ha Young-min, who posted 96 pitches, used fastballs (34 pitches), forks (29), sliders (27) and curves (6 pitches). The maximum speed of fastballs was 146 km/h. The strike rate was 66.7 percent, demonstrating his ability to actively compete with batters.

On the day, Kiwoom removed Kenny Rosenberg, the only foreign pitcher in the team, from the first division entry. Kiwoom has decided to give Rosenberg a 10-day break as scheduled this year as well. However, as newly acquired foreign pitcher Raul Alcantara has yet to join the team and Chung Hyeon-woo, who suffered a shoulder injury, has still a long time to return, it will be difficult to manage the starting rotation while Rosenberg is away.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said in an interview before the game, "Rosenberg's vacancy will be filled by Cho Young-gun, Kim Yeon-ju and Kim Sun-ki. I think three pitchers will have to take turns filling the seats. There may be a lot of difficulties in running the starting rotation, but I will do my best."

Kiwoom, which remains at the bottom of the starting ERA league (5.49), had to catch the first two games of the three consecutive games during the week when Rosenberg and Ha Young-min, the second starter, took the mound, but ended up losing both games to Samsung. Although both Rosenberg and Ha Young-min played their roles as starting pitchers, the team was more disappointed as they lost. Ha Young-min achieved his third quality start plus this season, but became a losing pitcher.

Coach Hong Won-ki said, "In the end, we have to do our best to win on the day Rosenberg takes the mound. We will do our best in other games, but I think we have to catch a game with a high winning rate. It is true that yesterday's game was very disappointing," adding, "It is regrettable that we lost the game on the 20th." It is also regrettable that the game on the 21st, which was helplessly lost without changing the flow of the game despite Ha Young-min's good pitching, is also regrettable.

Kiwoom has been at the bottom of the league with 14 wins and 37 losses and a .275 win rate this season. It is 19 games ahead of LG (31 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses) at the top of the league, and 7.5 games ahead of Doosan (19 wins, 2 draws and 27 losses) at the ninth place. It has 40 wins and 104 losses this season. If the current pace continues, it will set a new record for the most losses in KBO league history, exceeding Ssangbangwool (28 wins, 7 draws and 97 losses) in 1999 and Lotte (35 wins, 1 draw, 97 losses, and 265 wins) in 2002.

Even with the team struggling, Kiwoom decided to give Rosenberg a break from a long-term perspective. If Rosenberg returns from the break and Alcantara and Jung Hyun-woo join, Kiwoom's starting team will also be able to form much more solidly than before. Attention is focusing on whether Kiwoom, which is having the most difficult season in the club's history, will be able to find a clue to the rest of the season's rebound.
