Kiwoom Heroes Yang Ji-yul returned to the first team after shaking off the pain.
Kiwoom will play the last of three consecutive weekend games against the Hanwha Eagles at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 11th. It is urgent to get out of the three-game sweep crisis.
Ahead of the match, four entries were replaced. Lee Yong-kyu, Seo Yoo-shin, Son Hyun-ki, and Jeon Jun-pyo were canceled, and Park Joo-sung, Yang Ji-yul, Park Joo-hong, and Jeon Tae-hyun were called up.
Yang Ji-yul's name stands out. He had to experience an unexpected accident against the Lotte Giants on the 29th of last month. The ball that was attached to the body was directed toward Lotte batter Jeon Min-jae's head, and the ball hit Jeon Min-jae's helmet. Headshot is gone. Fortunately, Jeon Min-jae avoided a major injury, but Yang Ji-yul, who threw the ball, had no choice but to be traumatized. I didn't know what to do after the dune came out. I apologized to Jeon Min-jae, and this can happen during the game. It's all right." consoled Yang Ji-yul.
In addition, Jeon Min-jae was injured while writing the story of 'Cinderella' with a tremendous performance after the trade, and it was a big pressure from the player who got it right. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki immediately canceled Yang Ji-yul's entry considering his psychological condition. And he called it back ahead of the Hanwha match on that day.
Coach Hong said, `We have to do something because of the team's conditions. Players who are out of form, whether they are pitchers or fielders, should be reorganized in the second division, and those who perform well in the second division should immediately be put into the first division game"He said.
On Yang Ji-yul, Hong said, `It has improved. Other players are also watching closely, but we decided to call up because players with experience had to come in first." It means that I've overcome my mental problems to some extent.
Kiwoom fought well until the early and mid-game, but many games collapsed in bullpen battles. The first game of the three consecutive Hanwha games also led by hitting a home run, but it was overturned in the second half. If Yang Ji-yul, who showed a good fight before going down to the second division, performs well, Kiwoom's chances of rebounding can also increase.
