"I thought it was unfortunate, but suddenly Shim Woojun..."
KT Wiz's allocation team re-wrote the title of 「End Man」.
Bae Jeong-dae led the team to a 5-4 victory against the Hanwha Eagles at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 23rd by hitting a dramatic finishing hit in the bottom of the 11th inning of overtime. KT, which lost its opening game to Hanwha the previous day, sank after being hit by a tiebreaking solo shot by Noh Si-hwan in the top of the ninth inning when it led 4-3, but ended the opening two consecutive games with one win and one loss due to Bae Jeong-dae's walk-off hit. Starting this year, overtime lasted only until the 11th inning, so KT could have ended the game with a draw if it wasn't for Bae Jeong-dae's hit.
Bae Jeong-dae has been showing off his strong heart by hitting a lot of walk-off hits. He finished eight times before the game. There were seven walk-off hits and one sacrifice fly. This means that he is good at concentrating and not shaking at chances. With the hit on the day, he has increased his total score to nine.

Bae Jung-dae said, "Actually, I was nervous because I didn't get a hit in today's game. And when the finishing situation comes, I'm really nervous. Instead, I'm glad every time I get through it. At that time, the feeling is something that no one can easily feel. I feel really good. If the fans call my name, I feel like I'm compensated for my hard work."

When asked if there was a secret to finishing "There is no special secret. Instead, I felt like I was going to get a chance. So while preparing, I asked Moon Sang-cheol of the dugout 'How do I hit it?' My brother told me to relax and just think that I hit the center of the bat lightly. The coaches also advised me to believe in myself,' he told the behind-the-scenes story.
With 1B situation, he hit a 144km fastball by Hanwha's closing main phenomenon. It's a good fit. It was a hit that felt like a hit, but it flew toward Hanwha shortstop Shim Woo-joon, who had a wide range of defense. a colleague until last year. Bae Jung-dae "I thought it was a hit at the moment I got hit, but suddenly Woo-joon threw himself away. I wondered what I would do if I got caught." However, the ball was so strong, and even Shim Woo-joon, who defended well, could not catch it. Hanwha's outfield was defending forward, but the ball rather passed by Shim Woo-joon, so he bought time for KT's second baseman Yoon Joon-hyuk to come home, not a head-to-head hit.

KT almost got stigmatized by Bae Jung-dae's hit. The opening two consecutive wins could certainly have referred to 'crisis'. Bae Jeong-dae "Always gives meaning to the first win. I'm glad we won our first game of the year quickly. "Our team prepared so well in this year's Australian camp. This year, we will not hear the nickname 'Slow Starter'."
