Jung Woo-ram (39, Hanwha Eagles) said goodbye to the KBO League mound after the 15th game.
Jung Woo-ram started in the final game of the season against the NC Dinos in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 29th.
It was the consideration of the Hanwha team, which gave Jung Woo-ram, a bullpen pitcher representing the Korean professional baseball, time to greet his fans before retiring.
This is the first time Jung Woo-ram, who played in a total of 1,500 games until this day, has taken the mound as a starting pitcher.
As originally predicted, Jung Woo-ram faced only one batter in the first inning and handed the ball over to foreign pitcher Jaime Barria.
Jung Woo-ram threw four fastballs in the 130km/h range to leadoff hitter Choi Jung-won, and he got a right-handed hit in the fourth pitch.
After smiling awkwardly, Jung Woo-ram came down from the mound to receive greetings from catcher and infield teammates.
Jung Woo-ram, who was heading to the dugout, took off his hat and greeted 12,000 fans who filled the stands.
Before the start of the game, Jung Woo-ram took charge of Shifo and his two sons threw the first pitch and hit the first pitch.
“Cheol-wan” Jung Woo-ram’s record of playing in 1,500 games is the most for KBO league pitchers and the most for Asian pitchers based on a single league.
The overall record for the first team is 64 wins, 47 losses, 197 saves, 145 holds, and a 3.18 ERA in 977 ⅓ innings.
Jung Woo-ram was nominated by the SK Wyverns (current SSG Landers) as the 11th overall pick in the second round in 2004 and started his professional career, and moved to Hanwha as a free agent ahead of the 2016 season. 메이저놀이터
