The match between the KIA Tigers and the LG Twins at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 25th. KIA's Cho Sang-woo is pitching hard. Gwangju = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2025.04.25/
KIA Tigers' must-win group Cho Sang-woo (31) expressed great satisfaction with his new home in Gwangju. Fans also trembled, saying that they didn't recognize much 'more than they thought'.

Cho Sang-woo transferred from Kiwoom Heroes to KIA through a cash trade last winter. KIA is the defending champion and the most recognized national team. Compared to Kiwoom, attention is high.

However, the team atmosphere was not much different. Jo Sang-woo "I thought there would be a huge difference, but it wasn't either. The players are so well united and it's a really comfortable atmosphere. It's good that the older brothers and everyone take good care of each other all the time."




All three home games of LG were sold out last weekend (April 25-27). Jo Sang-woo "It seems like the crowd is always full. I'm really thankful, so I'm enjoying baseball more"Thank you.

Everyday life is also very satisfying. Jo Sang-woo "First of all, the food is so delicious. "I'm worried that I'm going to gain weight," he said, smiling "But you don't recognize me as much as I thought" and expressed regret (?). Most baseball fans cheer enthusiastically at the ballpark, but I think it's consideration to ignore them to respect their privacy when they meet outside.

Cho Sang-woo showed a maximum speed of 151 kilometers in the season against LG on the 27th, his latest appearance. Cho Sang-woo recorded a 1.38 ERA with 2 wins, 2 losses and 7 holds in 15 games of the season. He was doing his part, but his speed was around 145 kilometers. Concerns have arisen that the ball power may be lower than in the past. However, Cho Sang-woo moved toward 100% as he continued to play.




Jo Sang-woo "Actually, I don't care so much about restraint. Arresting is a bit more comfortable part of dealing with batters. It's not that you can't catch a batter just because the ball is slow. I was throwing it with the mindset that I would compete with breaking balls or ball control if I thought I wouldn't be able to catch it"I looked back.

In fact, Jo Sang-woo didn't even check the ball speed one by one even during the game. Jo Sang-woo said, "I think I saw it up to 147km, but it came out to 151kmI thought it was coming up little by little now because it's long. The balance is going in. It can be better than it is now. I think we should continue to manage it well and get better and better as we go on."

He finished in Kiwoom, but he is a setup man in KIA. Regardless of his position, he emphasized that he would completely block a given inning at any time. Cho Sang-woo is ".When I came to the profession, I always threw it without thinking about getting a job. Whether it's the seventh, eighth or ninth inning, it's the same. Our middle pitching power is so good. All I have to do is stop the inning well. It's most important for the team to win."
