Jang Won-joon (38), who overcame the retirement crisis and was reborn as an axis of the Doosan selection, will start the first twice a week of the season. 

Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop met with reporters prior to the 7th game of the season against NC in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Changwon NC Park on the 14th and said, “Jang Won-joon will appear twice a week for the first time this week.” 

Doosan is currently in a situation where one foreign pitcher and Kim Dong-joo have left the starting lineup. Dylan Pyle’s replacement foreign pitcher Brandon Waddell is expected to make his debut against Gocheok Kiwoom on the 23rd and 25th at the earliest after obtaining a visa, and Kim Dong-ju has a plan to return to the first team on the 22nd. As a result, there was a hole in the starting position against LG on the 18th, and coach Lee Seung-yeop, after much deliberation, decided to start Jang Won-joon twice a week the day before. 

Jang Won-jun started against Changwon NC on the 13th and wo스포츠토토n 3 wins (undefeated) in the season and 132nd personal career with a good pitching with 6 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts and no runs. He had a small number of pitches at 73, and the ball combination using a two-seam fastball worked repeatedly, and he judged that a four-day break was no problem. Jang Won-jun, who overcame his retirement crisis and extended his active career, is playing romantic baseball with an average ERA of 2.76, 3 wins and 3 wins in 3 games this season.

Coach Lee said, “It is the first two times a week, so the body will be tired, but there is no reason not to use a player who is in good condition. With a gap in the selection, I naturally took the opportunity, but the results of all three games were good,” he said. “The ball definitely improved. The two-seam fastball is powerful, so there are a lot of ground balls,” he applauded the veteran’s comeback. 

As a result, Doosan will face rival LG in Jamsil with ace Raul Alcantara on the 14th, Choi Won-jun on the 15th, and Choi Seung-yong, Kwak Bin, and Jang Won-jun on the 16th and 18th. Director Lee said, “Jang Won-joon is showing good pitching, and Kwak-bin and Choi Won-joon have also returned. It feels like suddenly becoming rich,” he said. “A long-term race eventually requires a starting pitcher to lead the innings to some extent. Starting baseball can change a team into a good structure. Now, if only Brandon comes, I think I can expect a better game,” he dreamed of the day when he became a complete team.

On the other hand, Doosan, which meets NC starter Seongyoung Choi, Su-bin Jung (center fielder) – Seung-ho Kang (1st baseman) – Eui-ji Yang (catcher) – Seok-hwan Yang (designated hitter) – Jae-hwan Kim (left fielder) – Kyung-min Heo (3rd baseman) – Jae-ho Kim (shortstop) – Daehan Kim (Right fielder) – Park Gye-beom (2nd baseman) The starting lineup was organized in order. The starting pitcher is ace Alcantara.
