In particular, Moon Dong-joo threw a 160.1 km fastball that exceeded 160 km per hour for the first time as a Korean pitcher in a match against the KIA last month.
The matchup between the two pitchers, who should be on the Korean mound in the future, attracted a lot of attention even before the game, but Lee Eui-ri knocked it out early in the second inning, and Moon Dong-ju allowed the score to tie, ending without a winner. 스포츠토토

Eui-ri Lee, who finished the inning easily with two strikeouts in the first inning, allowed a walk to leader Noh Si-hwan at the bottom of the second inning with a 1-0 lead, then hit Kim In-hwan with a ball in the head and was automatically ejected with a headshot.
In the KBO League, to protect players, pitchers must automatically come down from the mound when they hit the hitter’s head with a fastball. The headshot ejection has occurred four times this year.
Left arm Kim Ki-hoon, who throws a heavy and fast ball, hurriedly received Lee’s baton, but as soon as he came out, he allowed only 3 walks and gave 2 points in vain. Both points are Lee Eui-ri’s self-accusation points.
Moon Dong-ju sent a runner to second base with a walk and a balk in the first inning, then threw a curveball to Choi Hyeong-woo in two outs, and scored a point with a right-handed hit at the right time.
Moon Dong-ju, who improved his pitching with two strikeouts in the second inning, however, as soon as he turned the tide to 3-1, allowed hits, walks, and wild throws after two outs in the top of the third inning, and then threw a low fastball to Jong-wook Ko from second and third base. Woo Joong-wol got 2 RBIs and a double.
Moon Dong-ju, who passed the 4th inning with the help of the fielders’ defense, gave up 5 hits and 3 walks in 4 innings and allowed 3 runs. He also left 2 wildfires and 1 balk.
Eui-ri Lee recorded the highest speed of 153 km per hour with a fast ball. Moon Dong-ju’s average speed was 154 km/h, surpassing Lee Eui-ri’s, and the highest speed was 155.8 km/h based on the PTS of Sports 2I, the KBO league’s official record statistics company.
