Doosan Bears

Escape from crisis with 1st company 2nd and 3rd base
Ahead of the Doosan Bears match held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 17th,
kt wiz coach Lee Kang-chul showed confidence in Park by saying, “Even when I put Park Young-hyun on the mound,
I thought, ‘What if I don’t have him (because he participated in the Asian Games)?” revealed
Park Young-hyeon
Park Young-hyeon, who is in his second year as a professional this year,
is currently one of the best bullpen pitchers in the KBO league.
With 54 appearances, the number of games played is the highest in the league,
the 24 holds are also overwhelming, ranking first in the league. 바카라
Without the performance of Park Young-hyun,
who threw 57⅔ innings and earned 3 wins, 3 losses, 3 saves and an ERA of 3.12,
kt’s rise from last place at the beginning of the season to second place would have been impossible.
Originally, Park Young-hyun’s job was to guard the mound
until finisher Kim Jae-yoon came up, but on days when Kim Jae-yoon couldn’t play,
he had to crack down on the back door.
17th Game
Coincidentally, in the game on the 17th, kt decided to give Kim Jae-yoon a break, and at the end of the 9th inning,
which was leading 9-5, Sovereignty gave a one-run home run to lead batter Jose Rojas, and the save situation was ready.
Park Young-hyun, who climbed the mound to protect the team’s victory,
swayed here and there, perhaps because of the ‘weight of the ninth inning’.
Yang Seok-hwan, Kang Seung-ho, and Kim In-tae
were hit and allowed 1 run, and pinch hitter Park Joon-young also hit 1 RBI and double.
With the score narrowed to 9-8, Manager Lee visited the mound and conveyed his intention
to leave Park Young-hyeon up to the end when he faced a desperate crisis with 1 company, 2nd and 3rd base.
Park Young-hyeon overcame the biggest hurdle by treating Heo Gyeong-min as a shallow outfield floating ball,
ended the game with a strikeout after a full count match with Jo Soo-haeng.
Catcher Jang
Catcher Jang Seong-woo, whom we met after the game, explained why Park Young-hyun struggled,
saying, “The ball itself had power, but it was thrown in the opposite direction to the requested side.”
Jang Seong-wu said, “The coach came up to the mound and said,
‘It’s okay if I give you all the points, so let’s do it comfortably.
Your body has put a lot of energy into it,
so try to lighten it up a little’ and went down.”
It was a great experience for Park Young-hyun to overcome the crisis
by choosing to play against Heo Gyeong-min at 1st, 2nd and 3rd base.
Jang Seong-woo said, “I felt rather comfortable when that situation happened.
We are on a winning streak, and Doosan is on a losing streak.
In baseball, there is a saying that ‘a winning streak is easy to continue,
a losing streak is difficult to break’.” , but I felt like I could stop it.”
Park Young-hyun said, “(Kim) Jae-yoon took on the finishing role
because it was his brother’s day off, and it’s fortunate that he won.”
He was not good with 4 hits and 2 runs in 1 inning, but as a result,
he improved by a hand thanks to his team victory. Park Young-hyun promised,
“I try to throw with a sense of weight and focus. I will do my best to throw in any situation.”
The growth of Park Young-hyun, who is gaining experience as a closer in the bullpen,
is expected to be a great help to the Hangzhou Asian Games baseball team
aiming for a gold medal
