“Pay Attention to Defense”… KT’s Jang Seong-woo Gives a Loving Shout-Out to Rookie Yuk Cheong-myeong
KT Wiz starting catcher Jang Seong-woo (34) gave a harsh word to rookie Yuk Cheong-myeong (18), who unfortunately missed his first starting win since his debut.
Yuk Cheong-myeong started the game against the Hanwha Eagles held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 23rd and allowed 4 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, 4 strikeouts, and 3 runs (2 earned) in 5 innings.
The loss of the starting win was due to bullpen arson, but Yuk Cheong-myeong’s mistake also played a role. 카지노사이트
Yuk Cheong-myeong successfully guided a double play ground ball from first base with no outs in the top of the fourth inning with a 3-0 lead.
However, after catching the batted ball, he threw a bad ball to second base, causing a crisis with first and third bases without an out.
Shaken, Yuk Cheong-myeong had to watch as the fastball he threw to the next batter, Kim Tae-yeon, went behind the left wall.
If it weren’t for those three runs, he might have been able to get the starting win despite the bullpen fire.
After a close game that day, KT won 9-6 thanks to Jang Seong-woo’s winning hit in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Yuk Cheong-myeong also played his part against Kiwoom Heroes in his debut game as a starter on the 17th, allowing 6 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 1 strikeout, and 1 run in 5 innings, but unfortunately, he postponed his first win in his debut.
After finishing the game, Jang Seong-woo said, “I could have played the game more comfortably today, but it’s a shame I couldn’t.”
He added, “Baseball is not just about throwing and catching.
After you throw, you also have to play defense.
“I hope you pay more attention to that,” he advised Yuk Cheong-myeong.
At the same time, he encouraged, “There is no big problem with throwing, so if you pay more attention to defense, you will be able to throw better.”
Jang Seong-woo said on this day in the 5th inning with 2 outs and 2 outs.
