"If I keep failing to fill five innings like this, wouldn't I be negative for the team and myself?" You have to throw better."

Three games since he was selected as a substitute starter. I didn't finish the fifth inning once. The head coach expressed satisfaction, saying, `It's growing,' but he expressed a strong sense of responsibility himself.

SSG Landers Jeon Young-joon (23) is the main character. Jeon Young-joon pitched hard against the Lotte Giants in Busan on the 31st of last month with one run in four innings.




Until the fourth inning, the number of pitches was only 64, but the SSG bench chose to replace it. Now that he is a rookie pitcher whose starting position is only in the third game, he judged that his ball power has already fallen.

The winning pitcher of the day, when SSG won 4-1, became Park Si-hoo, who took the mound in the fifth inning after Jeon Young-joon and recorded one scoreless inning. Pil Seung-jo Noh Kyung, who was in charge of the 6th to 8th innings, made Kim Min-eun hold, and closer Cho Byung-hyun made saves. Jeon Young-joon is the only one who is disappointed in many ways.

Jeon Young-joon, a former ace of Daegu High School, returned to the team after serving in the military last year and was surprisingly selected as the fifth starter this season.




He has been starting since the game against the Doosan Bears on May 20. Three runs in four ⅓ innings on the first day, one run in four ⅓ against the LG Twins on May 25, and no game has exceeded five innings until this day. Jeon Young-joon, who met after the game, expressed his deep regret first.

"It feels good to contribute to the team. It would have been better if it had been filled up to the 5th inning, but I am also satisfied with the performance of one run until the 4th inning. Manager (Lee Sung-yong) is giving me an alternative selection opportunity, but if I don't keep filling out the 5th inning like this, I think it will be negative for both the team and me. "My goal is to somehow throw more than five innings so I don't overload the bullpen."

He is the same age as Cho Hyung-woo, who was born in April 2002. Cho Hyung-woo said, `I made a plan to push the ball with the ball without thinking about it complicatedly because he is a pitcher with such good pitching.' Jeon Young-joon said, "We have worked together since Future's. I only trusted my brother-in-law because he knows me best. The fastball was fine, but there was a scene where the breaking ball fell out little by little from the third inning. Coach Kyung Heon-ho also said 'Future Homework'"




The victory was also the 100th victory for SSG coach Lee Sung-yong. Jeon Young-joon smiled at last, saying, `It's good to be the starting pitcher for the manager's 100 wins.'

On the meaning of Jeon Young-joon's starting appearance, coach Lee Soo-yong said, `The sold-out atmosphere of the Sajik Stadium is definitely different from other stadiums.' Jeon Young-joon recalled Kim Kwang-hyun's advice.

"Kim Kwang-hyun, yesterday 'This is where you're going to throw tomorrow. Feel the atmosphere in advance and control your mind in advance. So I stepped on the ground and did image training during the game. I think the senior's words were helpful."

In the LG match, he faced Song Seung-ki, a fellow member of the Armed Forces Sports Unit. They also met while warming up and hugged each other affectionately. Didn't Jeon Young-joon live with Seung-gi for a year and a half. That's a good friend. We always support each other to do well."

"It was like that when I was a rookie, but seniors and older brothers still teach and take care of me a lot. I'm really learning a lot. I was moved when the coach said 'We are one team' before the opening. I will try to grow further."
