"You have to use it a lot."

KT Wiz head coach Lee Kang-chul smiled happily when Park Young-hyun was revived.

Coach Lee Kang-chul said, "Park Young-hyun should also use a lot," ahead of the game against the NC Dinos in the '2025 KBO League' at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th.




Park Young-hyun is recovering his powerful pitching as he continues to play. At the beginning of the season, he struggled with hits in four consecutive games, but on the 8th, the match against NC neatly prevented a one-run thin ice game with two strikeouts.

In particular, Park Young-hyun's fastball with high rotational speed is a huge strength. He is not a fearsome fireballer with a speed of well over 150 kilometers. Instead, it is evaluated that the ball has strength because the rotation speed is good compared to the speed of the ball.

Coach Lee Kang-chul avoided an immediate answer to the reason why Park Young-hyun's fastball was powerful, saying, "Didn't you get a lot of hits?"




At the same time, "Yesterday (8th) also sent out the first runner, so I thought to myself that if I get hit again, "You and my team will go." However, the fastball changed after the walk. It's 149km, but Park Young-hyun has a different rotation speed. I fell about 10 but now I came up"I looked back.

Then "I don't think (Jang) Sungwoo was able to sign a fastball from the beginning." But after a walk, I hit a fast ball, and the ball came differently. I wished him to keep throwing fastballs", he confessed.

When Park Young-hyun regained his senses, head coach Lee Kang-chul laughed, saying, `Did I manage too much?'

Park Young-hyun has already played in eight games and played nine ⅓ innings this season. He has one loss, three saves and a 3.86 ERA. In simple terms of full-time, the figure is 103 ⅓ innings. In modern baseball, it is said that the must-win group threw too many innings even if it was more than 80 innings.

Of course, Park Young-hyun is also certain to converge below 80 innings at the end of the season. KT had too many close games at the beginning of the season.

Coach Lee Kang-chul said, `There is no easy game for us to win now. I can't help but use it. When I did it with SSG, I went to the extension, but it's 2-2, so how can I not use it. I tried to do another inning, but I held it in because it was early in the season, but I ended up losing in the 11th inning. It rained the next day. I held out well until the 11th inning, but I paid too much. Then he lost three consecutive games. "Winning and losing one game is huge." He stressed that when the opportunity comes, he must catch it unconditionally.
