"The ball is good. But with ball power alone..."

The dreamlike time in the first team ended. Now, he has to sharpen his skills more fiercely in the second division. That way, the opportunity comes.

Kiwoom Heroes removed high school rookie pitcher Yoon Hyun from the entry ahead of the LG Twins match at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 9th.




Yoon-hyun took the mound as a starter against LG a day ago and was notified of his participation in the second division with a devastating performance of seven hits, four walks and nine runs (8 earned runs) in two innings.

After graduating from Gyeonggi High School, Yoon was selected as the fifth starting pitcher from the opening day, drawing attention. He almost got the chance to win his 13th rookie debut game after his teammate Chung Hyeon-woo by going down to the mound to win the game against Kia Tigers, his debut game as a pro player.

In the game against the Doosan Bears, which took the mound for the second time, it did not completely collapse, but it was slightly shaken by three runs (two earned runs) in three ⅔ innings. And I met the LG slugger and it completely collapsed.

Coach Hong, who met ahead of the LG match on the 9th, said "We played three games since our debut. The first two games also received defensive help and showed their own strengths. However, through the match against LG, it was clear what was lacking. I had a good experience as a rookie player. Based on these experiences, I think we need time to reorganize so that we can take it to the next level.'

Coach Hong continued "The ball is good. But you must have realized that you can't survive on that pitch alone. If the pitch type is simple, the control type must be perfect, and if not, the new pitch type must also be polished. You will gain the upper hand in the competition only if you develop the ability to throw several pitches wherever you want. We need to continue our selection classes in the second division to make up for the shortcomings," he stressed.

Then, who will be the fifth starter to replace Yoon-hyun's position. Coach Hong said, `We have to catch several players through competition. I'll open up the possibility. We haven't decided yet." Regarding Cho Young-gun, who allowed three runs in five innings after Yoon Hyun collapsed in the game on the 8th, he also said, "Of course, there is a possibility." The player who was originally preparing as a starter…" he said, opening up the possibility of playing.




The new fifth starting agent will take the mound against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 13th.

Meanwhile, left-handed hitter Kim Woong-bin, who was called up in place of Yoon-hyun, will start as the seventh-designated hitter on the day. According to the data that the opponent Hernandez is weak in left-handed hitters, Kiwoom placed all other batters as left-handed hitters except Puig and Kim Jae-hyun.
