Can Park Se-woong become a real ace with '12 wins

With the LG Twins winning the Korean Series last year, only Lotte is left with the team that has not won the Korean Series for more than 30 years. It is even more upsetting for fans considering that it is the original team that has been with the KBO League since its inception in 42. In order to relieve the aspirations of Busan baseball fans, we must first go up to autumn baseball. And for this, we need the success of foreign farming and the presence of a native ace with a certain weight. Foreigners have high expectations for farming. He renewed his contracts with both Charlie Barnes and Aaron Wilkerson, who showed good performance in the second half of last year. The first to fourth starters, Barnes, Wilkerson, Park Se-woong, and Na Kyun-an, are on an equal footing with any other team. Here, Park Se-woong needs to step up. Finally, the foundation has been laid. Following the Tokyo Olympics, Park gained valuable experience by playing at the WBC (World Baseball Classic) and the Hangzhou Asian Games, and resolved military issues to brighten up her future. Now, she only has to answer the expectations of the non-FA team, which signed the contract to extend the contract. Last year, Park Se-woong pitched in 27 games and recorded nine wins, seven losses and an ERA of 3.45. It was a good performance, but he missed the opportunity to win 10 games for the third consecutive year in a row. It is regrettable even considering the absence of players at the Asian Games. When looking at the performances of Korean aces that advanced to the semifinals, Lim Chan-kyu (14 wins, 7 losses, 2.42 ERA), Ko Young-pyo (12 wins, 7 losses, 2.78), Kwak Bin (12 wins, 7 losses, 2.90), Kim Kwang-hyun (9 wins, 8 losses, 3.53 losses), Choi Won-tae (9 wins, 7 losses, 4.30 losses), and Lee Eui-ri (11-796), Yang Hyeon-jong (9-11 losses, 3.53), Moon Dong-ju (8 wins, 8 losses, 3.72), Ahn Woo-jin (9 wins, 7 losses, 2.39) and Won Tae-in (7-7 losses, 3.18). They performed even better than Park Se-woong. In order for Park Se-woong to lead Lotte to fall baseball and be evaluated as a real ace, he must clearly finish in the top five among them. He is a quiet but fiery man. Royalty and responsibility for the team are already full and overflowing. All that remains is performance. If Park Se-woong becomes a pitcher who wins at least 12 games or 14 to 15 games, autumn baseball will not be the only challenge for Lotte. That is the weight that a pitcher dubbed as an "eyeglasses ace" has to bear.
