Professional baseball SSG Landers Moon Seung-won (36) won the starting game in 541 days.
Moon Seung-won started the "2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League" against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 30th and recorded three hits (one homer) with two walks and four strikeouts and one run in five ⅔ innings.
With one out and one out in the bottom of the first inning when SSG was leading 1-0, Moon sent out Lee Joo-hyung, and struck out Ruben Cardinez with a swing and miss. With two outs and runners on the first and second bases, Song was on the verge of facing the crisis by walking, but managed to overcome the crisis by catching Choi Joo-hwan with a ground ball. Moon, who had three outs in the second inning, had a hit by leadoff hitter Kim Tae-jin in the third inning, but induced Puig to hit a 6-4-3 double play, and Lee got on base with a walk, but allowed him to get on base as a checker. With one out in the fourth inning, Moon allowed a tying solo homer to Song. However, he did not allow a come-from-behind victory by catching both Choi Joo-hwan and Jeon Tae-hyun. He made his second three-out exit of the game in the fifth inning.
Moon Seung-won, who took the mound in the sixth inning when SSG regained the 2-1 lead with Han Yu-sum's solo home run, caught leadoff hitter Yasiel Puig with a fly ball to the left field, but was hit by Lee Ju-hyung and was on the verge of a one-out and second base due to a throwing error to the left field. Cadines also got on base due to a throwing error to the third baseman, making it first and second base with one out. Song Sung-moon caught the ball to the right field, but the second baseman succeeded in advancing to the third base, and Moon Seung-won replaced Han Doo-sol with the first and third bases with two outs to end the day. Han Du-sol caught Choi Joo-hwan with a fly ball to the right field, preventing the crisis without losing a point. SSG escaped its second straight loss by winning 8-2, and Moon became the winning pitcher for the first time this season.
With 88 pitches, Moon used various pitching arsenals, including fastball (26), slider (24), curve (15), change-up (15), cutter (7), and two-seam (1). The maximum speed of fastball was 148 kilometers per hour. The strike rate was not high at 59.0 percent, but he targeted the outskirts of the strike zone to block Kiwoom batters.
After winning his first start in 541 days since the match against Hanwha in Incheon on Oct. 6, 2023, Moon said in a post-match interview, "The fielders did a good job of concentrating and good defense. First of all, it's good to win. I tried to continue the game according to the situation with the power analysis team and the coaching staff," he said.
Moon Seung-won is a veteran of the KBO League with a total of 295 games (937 ⅓ innings) with 50 wins, 53 losses, 21 holds, 25 saves and an ERA of 4.58. Moon Seung-won, who signed a non-FA multi-year contract for a five-year total of 5.5 billion won in December 2021, took over as the closing pitcher last season and recorded a record of 6 games (60 innings) with 6 wins, 1 loss and 20 saves with an ERA of 4.50. 스포츠토토
After returning as a starting pitcher this year, Moon got off to a good start to the season with one win and an ERA of 2.31 in two games (11 ⅔ innings). "I have no particular goal. I don't think I am a player who dare to discuss a record. I want to become a starting pitcher who can take responsibility for at least five innings every season without getting injured," Moon said.
