"I've done everything I wanted to do."

It's surprising to have a 19-year-old rookie who says, "I've done everything I wanted to do." When rookie players go to actual games and exhibition games, they'll be busy throwing only at catcher's mitts.

Kiwoom Heroes' rookie Chung Hyeon-woo started the exhibition game against the Lotte Giants at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 18th and perfectly prepared for his rookie season debut. Chung Hyun-woo laid the groundwork for his team's dramatic 3-2 victory by allowing two runs (one earned run) in four innings. This day was the first run in the exhibition game and the first earned run. In the previous two games, he won two games by pitching scoreless.

The restraint is not quick. In all three games, the maximum speed was about 145 kilometers. The average was about 140 kilometers above the maximum speed limit. In Taiwan's spring camp, he showed confidence that he could pull it up close to 150km, but the ball was not fast in the exhibition game.

However, the sliders, curves, and fork balls were very good at bending or falling angles. And it was great to use it in the right place. It means that he has a good ability to run the game. First of all, it was not a style that shook control greatly, but there was also a strength that it did not allow consecutive hits.

Of course, Chung Hyeon-woo was also a person. In the fourth inning of the last game against Lotte, he was on the verge of loading the bases with one out due to his poor control, and he wanted to hold the count in his favor against Han Tae-yang, who he met there, so both the first and second pitches used their strength to throw the ball and threw the ball in. allowed a Molini sacrifice fly in the count fight. However, it was great that a rookie pitcher who just graduated from high school pitched so stably.

Chung Hyun-woo was confirmed as Kiwoom's fourth starter. The first game is an away game against the KIA Tigers in Gwangju. Yoon Young-chul is likely to be the opponent's starter.

After the final mock test, Chung Hyeon-woo said, `As it was the last game of the trial game, I think I've done everything I wanted to do before entering the regular season.' `The first three innings had a high first-pitch strike rate, so I was able to pitch efficiently by taking fewer pitches. However, the ball increased from the fourth inning and the game was difficult. I will try to get better results in the regular season by reviving this part,' he said valiantly.

Chung Hyeon-woo continued, `Thanks to your participation in the game, I was able to learn a lot by gaining a lot of experience during the exhibition game. I'll try my best to control my condition and show my fans a good performance during the rest of the regular season" expressed his determination.
