"I won't say more than that."

The Hanwha Eagles have been having a stable ninth inning recently.

After Joo Hyun-sang, who was selected as the closing pitcher this season, went down to the second division to reorganize, Kim Seo-hyun took over as the closing pitcher. Kim Seo-hyun, who throws a fastball of mid-to-late 150km, immediately settled down as a closer.




Kim Seo-hyun, who took the mound in a 5-4 lead against KIA in Daejeon on the 29th of last month and made his first save of the season while keeping the win, harvested both his second and third saves with a one-run gap.

Kim Seo-hyun, who took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 2-0 lead against SSG Landers on the 15th, defended his team's victory by pitching one hit and one strikeout in one inning.

Kim Seo-hyun, who showed a fastball of 157km against leadoff hitter Jung Joon-jae, struck out swinging, and later turned Park Sung-han directly into a pitcher ground ball. Han Yu-sum allowed a hit at the batter's box, but Lee Ji-young was blocked with a ground ball to third base to make his fourth save of the season.




Kim Seo-hyun lost zero points in 11 games. Kim Seo-hyun, who earned his fourth save without losing a point, followed first place Park Young-hyun (6 saves) by two saves.

After the game, Kim Seo-hyun said, `I'm happy to protect the team's victory. I'm proud of myself and I'm gaining more confidence because I think I'm keeping it well without being swayed yet in the save situation"Even if I give up a walk from the mound, I'm focusing on throwing the ball confidently, but I think the strike is going in better, so I feel like I should pitch more aggressively."

Kim Seo-hyun continued, "Thank you to the coach and coach for giving me the opportunity."Honestly, the reason why I'm throwing the ball confidently again is because of the manager who approached me first and reached out and the pitching coach who guides me on many things. I will do my best to show only good performances in the future so as not to disappoint those expectations.




Kim Seo-hyun has grown even more. The head coach felt the same way. However, as the season is still long, he replaced it with a happy expression rather than a lot of praise. Ahead of the match on the 16th, head coach Kim told Kim Seo-hyun's story, `What happens when you talk all the time?'" and "He is doing really well compared to when he started." I won't say more than that" smiled.
