This is what SPOTV baseball commentator Lee Dong-hyun said. KIA Tigers left-hander Yoon Young-chul allowed a big inning because he couldn't get defensive help from center fielder Choi Won-joon. Choi Won-jun directly hit a big inning at the plate, preventing the youngest from taking the loss.
Yoon Young-chul started the game against KT Wiz in the '2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' held at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 18th, recording four hits, two outs, five strikeouts, and three runs in five innings and withdrawing without winning or losing.
Yoon Young-chul has been on a good pace recently, with 1-1 losses, 11 innings and an ERA of 1.64 in two games in June. Without losing that flow, he pitched a scoreless game until the third inning, overpowering KT's lineup, which was in urgent need of defeat the previous day.
The problem occurred at the beginning of the fourth inning. He sent out leadoff hitter Ahn Hyun-min with a heavy hit. Mel Rojas Jr. sent Ahn Hyun-min to second base by wild pitch during the game against Jang Sung-woo, with one out, and even Jang walked to get on base. Yoon Young-chul allowed Moon Sang-chul to make a timely hit to the left, giving up the first run of 0-1.
Choi Won-joon's fatal mistake came out at a time when he had to prevent it with the least number of runs. Heo Kyung-min's ball extended toward center field with one out and runners on first and second bases. If he had judged the ball well, he could have handled it as a fly ball, but Choi Won-joon came forward and later chased the ball, making it a timely double in mid-month.

The crisis continued with 1 out, 2nd and 3rd base as it was 0-2. Yoon Young-chul allowed Kim Sang-soo to sacrifice fly to right field. At this time, the fielders helped him defend himself. As soon as right fielder Oh Sun-woo caught the ball, he threw it to first baseman Hwang Dae-in, and Hwang Dae-in aimed at second baseman Huh Kyung-min, who was heading to third base as soon as he judged that the home game was late. The inning ended when Huh Kyung-min was tagged out at third base. The score was 0-3.
Choi Won-joon atoned for his defensive mistake by setting the stage for the chase in the bottom of the fifth inning. After one out, he opened the scoring with a hit to the left of center field. When Ko Jong-wook hit a hit to the right, KT right fielder Ahn Hyun-min's catch error led to a golden opportunity with one out and runners on second and third bases. Park Chan-ho hit a two-run timely double on the left-field line to chase 2-3, and Wisdom hit a timely double to right-center with two outs and runners on the first and third bases to balance 3-3.
Yoon Young-chul didn't throw many balls with 87 pitches until the fifth inning, but he didn't overdo it and handed the ball over to Jeon Sang-hyun in the sixth inning. Yoon Young-chul's ball was slower than usual with a maximum fastball speed of 138km and an average speed of 135km.
