What a waste. Maybe it's the first time in the KBO…The confession of the bullpen that changed the Tigers' history. There was a time when my self-esteem went down

Jeon Sang-hyun took the mound as the third pitcher in a home game against the Samsung Lions at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 11th and pitched perfect pitching with two strikeouts and no runs in one inning.
He completely broke his opponent's will to chase in the top of the seventh inning with a 6-2 lead.
KIA also put Lee Joon-young on the mound in the top of the seventh inning with two outs in the top of the sixth inning. However, KIA was on the verge of first and third bases with no outs as Lewin Diaz's ground ball led to an error following Koo Ja-wook's double.
Samsung's batting lineup, which scored eight points the previous day, can be revived. In KIA, Jeon Sang-hyun took the mound to put out the urgent fire. Both Kim Young-woong and Park Byung-ho struck out swinging with four balls. In the end, Kang Min-ho ended the inning by catching him with a fly ball to right field. Jeon Sang-hyun, who threw a total of 14 pitches, handed over the mound to Cho Sang-woo in the top of the eighth inning.
In erasing the crisis, Jeon Sang-hyun made his 10th hold this season. At the same time, the company has recorded double-digit holds for four consecutive seasons from 2022 to this year. This is the 15th record in the history of the KBO League. Jeon is the first in the Tigers.
As Jeon Sang-hyun broke the crisis once, KIA won the game 6-3.

As it was on the first and third bases with no outs, the first batter's game was important. Jeon Sang-hyun said "I think the first batter's game is important when you go out in a difficult situation, but I think you can stop it when you strike out at least one or two." The first strikeout led to a good result."
He played consistently every year, but he didn't get off to a good start at the beginning of the season. In May, his ERA was in the five-point range. Jeon Sang-hyun wondered why his confidence and self-esteem were so low. I thought we should play with confidence even if we just get hit now, but thanks to that, it's better than it was at the beginning of the season."
The moment I left my name in the history of the Tigers. However, there are still regrets. He only posted seven holds due to his injury in 2021. If only three were added, a double-digit hold record could have been set for the first seven consecutive seasons in the KBO League.
Jeon said "The club gave me a lot of opportunities. Thanks to that, I was able to achieve this record"When I look back, I think I could have set up a little faster if I hadn't been sluggish or injured."
A time when everyone is getting tired as the weather gets hotter. Jeon Sang-hyun said "When it comes to physicality, the coach and coach take care of it a lot. Also, the trainer took great care of me, so I'm preparing well accordingly."
