As for the finishing situation, I watched the first part " (Park Young-hyun's) and it came into my body well. But ABS didn't respond. So I was sure that the game would come to my body unconditionally, but I tried not to miss the ball. I thought that the changeup would be caught while going out, so let's just send the ball to the outfield unconditionally. He explained, "It's a bases-loaded walk with one out, so I hit it with a light heart that it's okay because Herredia's foot is fast if I hit an outfield fly."

I wanted a 'light outfield fly', but the ball flew farther than expected. It was almost a home run. `It would have been better if it had been a home run,' said Oh Tae-gon, smiling `"and raised his arm because he thought the game was over as soon as the ball hit the outside field.'
