Korea U-18 national team lost 1-6 to Taiwan‘Possible first overall pick’ Hwang Jun-seo gave up 4 runs in 2⅓ innings

South Korea's Under-18 (U-18) youth baseball team has been completely defeated by the host country Taiwan since the first game of the World Youth Baseball Championship.

The South Korean national team, led by head coach Lee Young-bok, lost 1-6 to Taiwan in the first game of the 2023 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) World Youth Baseball Championship (U-18) qualifying round in Taichung, Taiwan, on the 2nd.

The start was smooth. Leadoff hitter Park Si-hyun hit a right-handed hit and ran to second base while the opponent's defense missed the ball. Yeo Dong-gun brought Park Si-hyun, who advanced to third base with Lee Chung-heon's sacrifice bunt, home with a timely hit to the right and scored the first goal. South Korea's 1-0 lead.

However, the mound failed to withstand the Taiwanese batters. South Korea's starting pitcher was left-hander Hwang Joon-seo (18, Jang Chung-go), who is likely to be the No. 1 overall in the 2024 KBO rookie draft. Hwang Jun-seo faced a crisis with two outs and third base in the bottom of the first inning by sending out the leadoff hitter due to a catch error by right fielder Lee Seung-min and allowing a steal. Wang gave up a timely hit to left field. It's a 1-1 tie.

Hwang Joon-seo, who finished the bottom of the second inning without losing a point, was shaken by sending out a runner with a hit ball and giving up a balk, wild pitch, and a walk after one out in the bottom of the third inning. In the crisis of first and third bases with one out, pinch hitter Chi-sin and Lee Sun-chiae allowed consecutive hits, allowing additional runs. Hwang Joon-seo's earned run increased further as Kim Taek-yeon (18, Incheon High School), who took over the mound in the situation of runners on first and third bases, gave up one more run to Juan Tien-Tzu for a heavy hit. Hwang Joon-seo finished his first game with five hits and three walks (two walks and one hit ball) and three strikeouts and four runs (three earned runs) in 2⅓ innings.

The national team, which failed to make any significant attacks after scoring in the first inning, allowed an additional one run with a double, consecutive walks, and timely hits to Taiwan in the bottom of the fourth inning, and lost 1-6 in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Meanwhile, the national team was scheduled to play its first qualifying round match against Puerto Rico on the 1st, but it was canceled due to rain, returning the six-day break and continuing the qualifying round. Due to the influence of Typhoon Haikui, which runs through Taiwan, all matches will be held ahead of schedule on the 3rd, and the second match between the national team and the Czech Republic has been adjusted from 19:30 to 16:00.

In this tournament, South Korea, which is organized in Group A along with Taiwan, Australia, Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Czech Republic, must be in the top three of the group stage to advance to the Super Round. 스포츠토토
