Lee Jae-hyun's sacrifice bunt makes it one out and third base. Kim Sung-yoon's grounder hit was heavily bound and became a timely hit that exceeded the height of the third baseman.

"Jinwook really threw the best yesterday. It's because it's not right. I know how to throw it like that, but I don't know why I haven't thrown it until now. I've hardly seen the players who were throwing in the first team go to the second team and pull it up. If I keep leaving it there, I think I'll keep doing that. So I decided to upload it and use it in the middle. I guess he told me to analyze the power and the pitching coach to go up and throw it as hard as he could."
Kim Jin-wook recorded a maximum of 149km on the day. All nine fastballs were formed at 146 km to 149 km. the restoration of the ball's composition.
