On this day, Kiwoom called up Kim Jae-woong, Hong Seong-min, and Jeon Byeong-woo to the first team instead of canceling Yang Ji-yul (formerly known as Yang Ki-hyun), Lee Jong-min, and Kim Gun-hee from the first team entry.
Kiwoom also suffered an 8-12 defeat against Gocheok Lotte the previous day (10th). Kiwoom, who was driven to the bottom of the league after 835 days, meets LG on this day. However, this season against LG, they are behind with 3 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses.
Coach Hong, who met with reporters ahead of the game, said, “It seems that bad situations continue to be contagious, and it is true that it is not easy to rebound as such situations keep repeating.” ‘. I also want to convey the message, ‘Let’s do our best to play what we can.’
In Kiwoom, Jeon Byeong-woo, who was separated from the front line due to a back injury in April, returned after rehabilitation. In addition, Kim Jae-woong, who had been active as a winning team in the hero corps, was also listed in the first team entry. Jeon Byung-woo posted a batting average of 0.125, 1 home run, 2 RBIs and 3 runs in 15 games this season. I came back after about 3 months since the SSG match on May 7th. Kim Jae-woong is recording an average ERA of 4.66 this season with 1 win, 3 losses, 5 saves and 14 holds. After the Samsung match on the 28th of last month, he was eliminated from the first team entry, and then took another chance.
Director Hong said, “In the current situation, good players must continue to come up. Kim Jae-woong received a report that he did well in the reorganization in the 2nd group. Now he has to prove himself. Hong Sung-min also showed a good figure in the 2nd group. In the end, I think we will have to see what he will look like in the bullpen through the game.”
The previous day, Kiwoom put Yang Ji-yul in the bullpen in the top of the 8th inning when the team was behind 6-9. As soon as Yang Ji-yul got on the mound, he struck out Min-seok Kim and Chi-hong Ahn in a row and seemed to be gaining momentum. But after that, Jegu didn’t listen. He allowed a walk to Lee Jung-hoon, a left-center hit to Gudrum, and a straight walk to Yoon Dong-hee, causing a bases-loading crisis. The moment when the score went from 3 points to 4 points. In the end, Kiwoom finished the inning with no additional runs after Park Seung-joo. For Yang Ji-yul, it was the mound he stepped on in about three years after the Lotte match on August 14, 2020, but he had no choice but to swallow his regret as the jegu did not listen. Yang Ji-yul, who was called up to the 1st team on August 10, went down to the 2nd team on the same day.
Regarding Yang Ji-yul, director Hong said, “(Last 9th), it seems to be deja vu with Joo Seung-woo’s situation. You probably know it best. There is a high wall in the first team, and players need to grow. In this team situation, when you receive an opportunity, you have to show a clear image so that you can plan for this season and next year. I think a thorough preparation process is necessary.” expressed a sober view.토토사이트
