Nail sweeper is known as "magic" in the KBO league this year. Nail has two wins and no losses in six games with an ERA of 0.74. She is dominating as the strongest foreign pitcher in the league. Ha Young-min benefited from her nails.

Ha Young-min started the game against the Doosan Bears in the 2025 KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome on Sunday, and pitched seven scoreless innings. Kiwoom won 5-4. Ha Young-min earned three wins (three losses) this season.

Ha completed seven innings with only 90 pitches. He only had 37 fastballs. By aggressively combining curves, sliders, and folk balls, he lured Doosan batters.

Ha Young-min said she copied the video of the nail throwing the sweeper. Ha Young-min threw the nail sweeper, so it transformed into a slider with a large angle.

Ha Young-min said, "The cutter has been bad recently. I paid a lot of attention to the slider. I happened to see the nail player catching the sweeper. I threw it like that, but it was better than I thought."

It worked unexpectedly well. Ha Young-min said, "I was thinking of throwing it at the game today, but it worked. I kept throwing it. I used it with the intention of throwing it because the cutter didn't work, but I used it very well," he said, thanking the nail.

Ha Young-min originally threw the cutter well. He was inspired by nails because he was worried about the cutter because it didn't work well recently.

Ha Young-min said, "At first, it was a slider. As I tried to throw hard, the ball speed went up and this became a cutter. In fact, the slider has disappeared. But the cutter became flat, too. In that state, I practiced after looking at the grip of the nail, and a slider with an increased angle came out."

Ha Young-min plans to revive the cutter. "If the cutter gets better, I have to use it again. These days, I just didn't use it because I didn't like it. I'm going to use it again when I practice again."

Ha Young-min regained her confidence by using the victory as a springboard.

Ha Young-min said, "The pitching staff has lost confidence in general. I also had two bad games recently. I think young players will change their minds only when I throw the ball with confidence. I am trying hard to change myself."
