He failed to fight back properly even once, and knelt down without pulling out a single one. Already, he has lost four consecutive games. He tied for seventh among the 10 teams along with the Hanwha Eagles and the Kiwoom Heroes.
The game started at 3:10 p.m., which was delayed by one hour and 10 minutes due to rain. Doosan Bears started the starting lineup with Jeong Su-bin (center fielder), Jake Cave (right fielder), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Choo Jae-hyun (left fielder), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kim In-tae (designated hitter), Kang Seung-ho (third baseman), Park Gye-beom (second baseman), and Park Joon-young (striker). The starting pitcher was Kim Yoo-sung.
Choo tried to make changes to break his losing streak, and put his name on the bat for the first time since his debut in 2019. It was the first time that Choo started as the fourth batter since his debut in the pro league in 2019. "I have a good feeling about (Chu) Jae-hyun recently. His contact ability and batting quality are better than I thought," Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said. "He is the type of batter who does not leave the batter's box hopelessly. He is doing his part as well as he expected."
"We placed him at No. 4 to make a breakthrough as he has been losing consecutive games. If he plays his role as he has done so far, I think he will get good results," Lee said.
However, Doosan's batters, including Choo Jae-hyun, struggled against LG's starting ace Yoni Chirinos. Chirinos had three hits, one walk, eight strikeouts and no run in six innings on the day, displaying 100 pitches.
Doosan also failed to target LG midfielder Park Myung-geun, Kim Jin-sung, Lee Ji-gang and Jang Hyun-sik. Choo Jae-hyun had no hits in four times at bat, while Yang Eui-ji, who is the center hitter, had no hits in three times at bat, and Yang Seok-hwan had no hits in three times at bat. Doosan hitters combined for a total of five hits.
Doosan stepped down with three outs in the first, second and third innings. In the top of the fourth inning, Yang Eui-ji made his first on-base hit by an infield hit to shortstop with two outs and no runners. Shortstop Oh Ji-hwan tried to catch the ball by matching the bound, but failed. Choo Jae-hyun hit a ground ball to shortstop and Yang Eui-ji was forced out at second base, ending the inning blandly.
After going three outs in the top of the fifth inning, Park created a golden opportunity in the top of the sixth inning. Leading hitter Park Gye-beom struck out swinging after a ten-pitch game with Chirinos. After Park Joon-young's infield hit to the second base, Jung Soo-bin hit a ground ball to the first base. It seemed to be a double play leading to the first baseman, the shortstop, and the first baseman, but a video review showed that he was safe at first base.
With two outs and a runner on the first base, Cave hit the middle and Yang Eui-ji walked to connect the opportunity. The bases were loaded with two outs. The next batter was Choo Jae-hyun. On the fifth pitch of the Chirinos with a ball count of 2-2, he swung and missed on a two-seam fastball, taking a strikeout and lowering his head.
In the top of the seventh inning, Park Gye-beom struck out with a rookie strikeout and Park Joon-young was out with a right fielder foul fly. In the top of the eighth inning, Yang Eui-ji and Choo Jae-hyun struck out swinging, respectively. Kang Seung-ho hit a double play in the top of the last ninth inning with one out and one on the first base.
Doosan's batting average of 0.200 stood at the seventh place this week. During the period, Doosan's batters rank ninth with 12 RBIs, tied for seventh with 14 runs scored, and the OPS (on-base plus slugging) at 0.544. Only when the bat recovers, will the team be able to increase its chances of winning.
