"It was a ball that Otani wouldn't be able to hit even if he came."
Do you feel like you won even if you lost.
That was a really good throw. I just didn't get lucky. However, the opponent who won the victory also praised him.
KT Wiz native ace Ko Young-pyo took the mound as a starter against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 15th. The game against the NC Dinos on the 8th should continue its momentum to win its first win of the season with seven innings of 10 strikeouts, one run and perfect pitching.
He seemed to have a good sense of it. It was a fastball in the early 130km range, which was scarier than the 160km fastball. Everyone knows that Go Young-pyo's main weapon is change-up. come on a two-seam fastball trajectory, dripping. Batters who threw their bats thinking it was a fastball are helpless. Ko Young-pyo struck out 11 in six innings. Tie for the most strikeouts in a game. But he didn't get a win. This is because the batter's support was zero points. The opponent's ace nail also pitched fantastic.

Ko Young-pyo threw 32 pitches, 54 changeups, eight curves, and five sliders on the day. It's actually a fastball-changeup two-pitch. You can ask why you can't play this. You can ask if you just have to aim for one of the two. However, it is not easy for batters who only play baseball after eating to catch Ko Young-pyo's ball. The day when the change-up becomes the control of the ball. Looks like a fastball coming to the strike zone. I can't help but get my hands on this ball. But if you swing your bat, the ball will disappear without being hit, so you'll go crazy.

Choi Won-joon only hit a fly to left field and a ground ball to first base against Ko Young-pyo before hitting a home run. After the game, Choi Won-joon has faced a lot of balls "(Go) Young-pyo, but in my personal opinion, I felt that I would not be able to hit Ohtani (LA Dodgers) today. I think I pitched so perfectly that I wondered if I ever felt like this." Then "It really comes like a fastball, and the ball disappears." No matter how hard I tried, the ball didn't hit me," he added.
Nails, who faced off, also gave a thumbs up. The opponent (Ko Young-pyo) pitched so well that he really wanted to fight and win"I was very happy that Ko Young-pyo went down and we scored one point."
