KIA Tigers manager to give struggling pitcher Hwang Dong-ha another start

KIA Tigers manager Lee Beom-ho has decided to give struggling pitcher Hwang Dong-ha another opportunity to prove himself in the starting rotation. Hwang is scheduled to start against Hanwha next week, with his future role in the team hanging in the balance. The manager stated, "I will watch the next Hanwha game." Hwang, who was a standout performer in May, earning consideration for MVP with an impressive 1.43 ERA, has recently fallen into a slump. His recent starts have been cut short, often after just three innings, raising concerns about his consistency and effectiveness. This upcoming start represents a critical test for the 24-year-old right-hander, who transitioned from a long reliever to a key starter earlier in the season. Lee's decision reflects a willingness to give Hwang a chance to regain his form, but the outcome of the next game will be decisive in determining whether he retains his starting position or potentially moves back to a relief role.
