Hwang Dong-ha started on the 20th in an away game against the Samsung Lions held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, and recorded 4 hits (2 homers), 1 walk and 3 runs in 4⅔ innings.

Until the 3rd inning, he showed stable pitching with 1 hit and 1 walk and no runs, but the batting order suffered after Hanba Quinn Don. In the bottom of the 4th inning, he hit a solo home run to Kang Min-ho, and in the bottom of the 5th, he allowed a solo shot to Oh Jae-il and a triple to left-center to Kim Ji-chan.

When he made his first start against the KT Wiz in Gwangju on June 23, he was better than giving up 4 hits (1 home run) and 3 runs in 2 innings.

A pitcher in the second year of high school who joined in the 2nd round of 2022 with the 65th ranking. He is a pitcher whose strength is control.

He appeared as a starter in the Futures League and showed a stable appearance with an average ERA of 2.96, 6 wins and 3 losses in 14 games, and this time, he started in place of Yang Hyeon-jong, who skipped an appearance for a break. After completing the selection mission, he was canceled from the first team entry on the 21st.

KIA is in a situation where it has to fill the gap during the Asian Games by selecting three players, including starter Eui-ri Lee, bullpen Choi Ji-min, and outfielder Choi Won-joon, for the Asian Games. In particular, the KIA has a lot of cancellations due to rain, so the remaining game schedule is the most tightly organized. Coach Kim expressed concern, saying, “There are too many games left, so I don’t think it will be advantageous. If more are canceled, a double header may be played.

During the Asian Games, we had to find a starter to replace Lee Eui-ri, but Hwang Dong-ha became a clear candidate. Coach Kim said of Hwang Dong-ha ahead of the match against KT in Suwon on the 22nd, “The tempo, control, and command are stable. want,” he said.

Yang Hyeon-jong, who recently took a break due to sluggish performance, is scheduled to start the game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 26th. Coach Kim said, “It’s not that I’m sick, I took a break mentally and physically, so I’m going to start normally on Saturday.”
