SSG Landers pitcher Moon Seung-won allowed two home runs in a secondary league game.
On the 20th, Moon Seung-won took the mound as a starting pitcher against the LG Twins in the 2025 Futures League at Ganghwa SSG Futures Field. With the KBO League exhibition games canceled due to a cold wave, he began his final checks in the secondary league before the season opener, but his pitching performance was poor. He recorded 7 hits, 2 home runs, and 4 earned runs over 3⅓ innings.
On this day, LG fielded a starting lineup consisting of Yong-jun Son (third baseman), Chang-geon Ham (right fielder), Min-soo Kim (second baseman), Bom Kim (catcher), Sung-jin Kim (first baseman), Kwan-woo Park (left fielder), Gyubin Shim (designated hitter), Tae-hoon Lee (shortstop), and Hyun-jong Kim (center fielder).
SSG fielded a starting lineup comprising Yoo-seom Han (right fielder), Myung-jun Go (first baseman), Jae-hoon Ha (left fielder), Tae-gon Oh (center fielder), Hyung-woo Jo (catcher), Sang-hyun An (third baseman), Chan-hyung Kim (shortstop), Kyu-min Kim (designated hitter), and Jung-woo Seok (second baseman).
Moon Seung-won allowed a leadoff single to Yong-jun Son in the first inning. After getting Chang-geon Ham out with a fly ball to center field, he allowed a single to Min-soo Kim, putting runners on first and second. He then got Bom Kim out on a ground ball to shortstop, and Sung-jin Kim ended the inning with a fly ball to right field without allowing a run.
In the second inning, he allowed a leadoff double to Kwan-woo Park. After getting Gyubin Shim out with a fly ball, he struck out Tae-hoon Lee with a 138 km/h cutter and struck out Hyun-jong Kim with a 122 km/h breaking ball, preserving a scoreless performance.
He got through the third inning without allowing runs. However, in the fourth inning, he suddenly allowed long hits and ended up giving up multiple runs. The leadoff hitter Bom Kim struck out with a breaking ball that fell outside. However, he gave up a solo home run over the right field wall on a 143 km/h fastball to Sung-jin Kim.
He then allowed Kwan-woo Park to reach base with an infield single between the third baseman and shortstop. He allowed a double to Gyubin Shim down the left field line, resulting in the runner on first scoring. He then allowed another two-run home run that went over the right field wall to Tae-hoon Lee. Once again, he was hit hard by a 143 km/h fastball.
After giving up 4 earned runs, Moon Seung-won was replaced by Young-jin Song. He signed a five-year, 5.5 billion won multi-year contract at the end of the 2021 season. Moon Seung-won, who played as a bullpen pitcher last year, returns this year as a starting pitcher, taking on the fourth starter role.
