Choi Yeon-soo of Masan Yongmago escaped the crisis with a bold pitch and took the lead in the quarterfinals. Choi Yeon-soo, who said he is a fan of the Samsung Lions in professional baseball, confessed that Won Tae-in is a role model.

Choi Yeon-soo took the mound in relief at the 80th Cheongryonggi National High School Baseball Championship and the weekend league match against Sangdong High School (co-hosted by the Chosun Ilbo, Sports Chosun, and Korea Baseball Softball Association) at Mokdong Stadium on the 7th.

Choi Yeon-soo won three ⅔ innings with six strikeouts, one run and relief. Masan Yongmago won 10-3. He will face Deoksu in the quarterfinals.




Director Jin Min-soo of Masan Yongmago said, `Choi Yeon-soo is our ace. He changed the mood in the middle" he complimented. Choi Yeon-soo recorded an on-base permit per inning (WHIP) of 0.97 with an earned run average of 1.20 in 10 games and 30 innings this season. He has 13 walks and 40 strikeouts.

The highlight was the beginning of the fifth inning. Choi Yeon-soo was on the verge of loading the bases with no outs in the top of the fifth inning, trailing 1-3. It was on the verge of losing a lot of points. If it happened here, it had no choice but to fall victim to the gust of Sangdong High School.

Choi Yeon-soo went in aggressively even in this situation. Choi Yeon-soo caught the opponent's fourth batter, Sun Sang-bit, and fifth batter, Jung Min-sung, with an in-field fly in succession. Choi Yeon-soo, who put out the urgent fire, struck out Lee Tae-hwan and set the stage for a great turnaround.




Masan Yongmago won the game by scoring six runs right after escaping the crisis in the bottom of the fifth inning.

After the game, Choi Yeon-soo "It was harder early than I thought. I'm glad that I overcame this crisis well and reached the quarterfinals again."

As for the crisis situation, "I felt like I was going to stop this first. I tried my best without sparing any energy. "




Choi Yeon-soo is actually a paid student. She had Tommy John surgery early last year. I've made a full recovery. We are holding a proper showcase at Cheongryonggi this year. Choi Yeon-soo has stable ball control while playing up to 149 kilometers fast.

Choi Yeon-soo said, `Now my body is completely made. Last year, Cheongryonggi was the runner-up. I threw in the third quarter, but as the ball rolled like a two-seam, I slightly raised the arm angle. It can be seen as a slightly higher three-quarter.

Choi Yeon-soo likes the 'head-to-head match' best. He said "I'm most confident of pitching that doesn't run away for now. He introduced himself, saying, "I'm a confident pitcher who doesn't avoid a crisis at all and goes head-to-head."

The pitcher that I wanted to resemble was also clear.

Choi Yeon-soo "I personally like Samsung. Won Tae-in is the role model. The command is really good, and the ceremony and pitching are really cool. Want to be like. Park Young-hyun also likes his pitching style."

The goal is to win the Blue Dragon Flag. Masan Yongmago swallowed the disappointment of the runner-up at last year's Cheongryonggi.

Choi Yeon-soo said, `I don't think about the next game unconditionally, but I'm going to make all-out throws from the batter in front of me, step by step.'
