Park Se-woong (29, Lotte Giants), the "glass ace" who provided an opportunity for a rebound, will take the starting mound for his team's sixth consecutive win.

Park Se-woong will take the mound as a starting pitcher in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. As the game was canceled in rain on the previous day (April 2), Lotte changed its starting pitcher from Kim Jin-wook to Park Se-woong.

This season, Park has had some disappointing performances with six wins and six losses and an earned run average of 5.00 in 16 games. He had some ups and downs in the early days of the season, but soon regained his pace and was cruising through 10 games with five wins, three losses and an earned run average of 3.59 until the match against the Kia Tigers on May 22.
However, the match against the Hanwha Eagles on May 28 was a problem. Park Se-woong, who strangely did not play well with the Hanwha Eagles, displayed his worst pitching by allowing 10 runs (nine earned runs) during four ⅔ innings on the day, worsening his "eagle phobia."

Since the shockwaves throughout the game against Hanwha Eagles, Park has suffered a prolonged slump with two losses and an earned run average of 7.06 in four games in June. Including the game on May 28, Park had the worst record with three losses and an earned run average of 8.89 in five games without a win.

Park Se-woong, who was mired in a slump, provided an opportunity for a rebound in the match against KIA on June 27. He even used folk balls that were sealed, and blocked the KIA lineup, which ranks first in the batting average (0.294), from allowing five hits, four walks, four strikeouts, and one run in six innings. Park's season victory, which had stopped at five wins since May 22, came to six for the first time in 36 days.

Lotte, with Park Se-woong's good pitching and hot batting line, who regained his true color as the "glass ace," succeeded in a winning series with two wins and one draw against the leading KIA, and continued its upward trend until the match against Hanwha on the 28th, winning five consecutive games.
Park Se-woong, who broke the chain of sluggishness, will play against Doosan for the first consecutive win in about three months. Park Se-woong, who took the mound against Doosan on April 6, has good memories of winning his first game of the season by pitching seven innings of one run. The nine strikeouts he recorded on the day were also Park's most in a game this season.

Lotte (35 wins, 3 draws, 40 losses, and a winning rate of 0.467), which currently marks the seventh place, has narrowed its gap with the sixth-ranked NC Dinos (38 wins, 2 draws, 41 losses, and a winning rate of 0.481) to one game while taking enough rest due to the cancellation of rain for three consecutive games from June 29. Attention is focusing on whether Park Se-woong will lead the team to victory with two consecutive good pitching, and Lotte will finish the first half with a higher ranking. 안전놀이터
