In the visiting game against the LG Twins held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 3rd, Moon Dong-ju threw 105 balls in 4⅓ innings, allowing 11 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 3 runs (3 earned).

Although he did not suffer defeat thanks to the help of his batting line and bullpen, it was a disappointing final appearance for Moon Dong-ju, who left a particularly strong impression this year.

The early termination of Moon Dong-joo's season is due to completing the number of pitching innings (120 innings) for a season set early by the club to prevent injuries.

As of this day, Moon Dong-ju finished the 2023 season with 23 games, 118⅔ innings, 8 wins, 8 losses, and an ERA of 3.72.

Compared to last season (1 win, 3 losses, 5.65 ERA in 13 games), which went back and forth between slumps and injuries, he succeeded in a clear rebound.

Moon Dong-ju, whom we met after the game, said calmly, "I was very disappointed overall because I had so many hits and the ball count was at a disadvantage."

“I threw my best in each inning, with the thought that it was the last inning,” he recalled, adding, “my pitch control wasn’t as perfect as I thought and the balance wasn’t right.”

At the same time, he looked back and said, “After getting three hits in the first inning, I think I unconsciously tried not to get (more) hit, so my ball count got longer.”

Regarding this season, he said, "First of all, I would like to give him 100 points for making the starting rotation without getting injured," and added, "I think we need to think about other baseball aspects."

Now, Moon Dong-ju will prepare for the Hangzhou Asian Games for about three weeks.

Dong-ju Moon said, “I think I should prepare with gratitude for the club’s consideration,” and expressed his ambition, saying, “I will return with good results at the Asian Games.”

He said, "I think we need to prepare harder for the Asian Games, even if it's because of the disappointment (about the regular season)."

Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho said to Moon Dong-ju, “I want to tell you that you worked hard this season.”
