Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `I'm a rookie, but I've seen him since the closing camp. "I couldn't go to the first-team spring camp, but I decided to take a look because I've been receiving good reports while taking the mound in the second-team."
It was a `surprise news' that came out at an unexpected time for Yang Jae-hoon. Immediately after joining the first team, he said, `I'm happy and excited to meet the fans. I was really surprised to hear about it for the first time yesterday evening. The goal was to be registered within this year, but I think I came to the first team earlier than I thought. "Seeing the audience enter, I feel a little nervous and realistic. I'm going to throw my ball confidently"He also expressed his excitement.
Immediately, he even had a chance to make his debut.
Doosan's batters provided ample support for points, including a total of eight points until the top of the ninth inning, and the pitchers blocked them with two points until the bottom of the eighth inning.
a six-point lead. Yang Jae-hoon had a chance to finish the game.
He struck out hard from the first batter. After a full count match against Lee Jin-young, he struck out swinging with a 148km fastball.

After the game, Yang Jae-hoon had two memorial balls. It was his first strikeout with his debut ball.
Yang Jae-hoon said, "I couldn't even realize the registration of the first team, but it was even more like a dream to take the mound. It was the first time I heard cheering on the mound. I was encouraged, but I was more focused. "At first, I was very nervous. When I went up, I wasn't as nervous as I thought and it was okay. I got encouraged because of the loud cheering of the fans" he said.
The first strikeout moment. Yang Jae-hoon "I put my trust in Ki-yeon without thinking, so I got a good result"I think I'll remember it for the rest of my life."
The Futures League coaching staff left a cold but heartfelt message of support for Yang Jae-hoon's call-up. 'Don't come back again' was the story. Yang Jae-hoon said "Coach Ono, Coach Bu Jung-yum, Coach Kwon Myung-chul, and Coach Cho Woong-cheon all helped me greatly at Futures. He congratulated me on the registration of the first team and told me not to come back to Icheon."
The defensive error could have been harsh, but rather, "If I had been more perfect, I would have swung and missed, but I felt like it was a foul, so I felt sorry for that."
Yang Jae-hoon, who said "My strength is to pitch in the strike zone with confidence," said "As the coaches said, I will show you a strong pitch in the first team for a long time." Especially in Jamsil, I will try to throw the ball more confidently as it is home"I'm determined.
