Moon holds the record for the highest Korean pitcher's restraint ever in the KBO League. Moon set a record for the highest Korean pitcher's restraint ever, throwing 160.1 kilometers against KIA in Gwangju on Apr. 12, 2023. It is expected that Moon, who shot 159.7 kilometers in his first appearance in an exhibition game, will break his own record.
Moon Dong-ju took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning with an 8-0 lead in the 2025 KBO League exhibition game against SSG held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th. Before the game, head coach Kim Kyung-moon announced in advance that Moon Dong-ju will play in the sixth inning today.
Moon Dong-ju was unusual, spraying fastballs from the practice pitching. The speed of the last practice pitching was 158 kilometers on the electronic display, and cheers erupted in the audience.
Moon threw a fastball of 153 kilometers on the first pitch and 155 kilometers on the second pitch to leadoff hitter Herredia. After displaying two fastballs, Moon lost his timing with a 142-km slider, and caught the out with a fly ball to the left field. He had a 157-km fastball in a row against Han Yu-som, inducing fouls and swings and misses. He garnered a fastball of 157 kilometers on the sixth pitch to impress the audience.
With two outs, the ball was recorded on the electronic display at the third pitch against Ko. It was the fastest ball on the day. Since then, he allowed walks as his fastballs at 158 kilometers and 155 kilometers became balls. With two outs and runners on the first base, he threw three breaking balls against Park, and ended the inning with slider (137 kilometers), curve (124 kilometers) and slider (136 kilometers).
On the day, Moon's maximum speed was 160 kilometers. "Moon's maximum speed of 160 kilometers is 159.7 kilometers per track man," Hanwha said
"Don't expect too much," said manager Kim Kyung-moon, who predicted Moon's appearance in the sixth inning before the game. Moon, who finished the season early due to his shoulder injury in September last year, has been gradually improving his physical condition after rehabilitation during the offseason. In his first exhibition game, he tried to relieve the burden by using the bullpen.
Moon threw a 159.7 kilometer fastball, the same speed as his maximum speed. He threw eight fastballs, and the average speed was 157 kilometers. He seemed to be in good physical condition.
After the game, Moon Dong-ju said, "It's been a long time since I pitched on the mound, and I'm satisfied because I think I pitched well rather than in a fastball. I was a little excited because it's been a long time since I pitched, but I felt that there would be no big problem if I got a little more sense of the game. I want to come back as a starter as soon as possible and be of help to the team, and I'll try to repay the fans who always give me big support."
Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, "I'm also trying hard to do something about that regret last year and this year. After he gets better, he will be a great help this year."
