"It was a strange feeling."

Suddenly, the opposing star Kang Baek-ho came up as a pitcher. One of the sluggers representing the league is suddenly a pitcher in the first division. You must have been surprised. And he must have thought, 'What should I do with my eyes wide open?' A rare scene was held at Jamsil Stadium on the 31st.

The KT Wiz was defeated by the LG Twins 0-18. It was a moment when they were already pushed to 0-16 ahead of the attack in the bottom of the eighth inning, and they had no choice but to throw a towel. However, I couldn't help but think about the three consecutive NC Dinos games on the weekend. I had to save the winning team of the game I had already lost. That's how coach Lee Kang-chul's winning move came out. Kang Baek-ho's pitching appearance. He played as a pitcher for the first time since throwing one inning due to the last game of the second regular season in 2019.

It was more stable than I thought. He shot up to 144 kilometers in fastball, and threw a mix of sliders and changeups. However, it is not enough to prevent the rising LG lineup. He received a solo shot by the leader Lee Joo-heon, a double by Choi Won-young, and a timely RBI by Moon Bo-kyung.

What was the reaction of LG's batters against Kang Baek-ho. Lee Joo-heon, who hit a home run, said "Among the starting batters, I was not alone in hitting. So, regardless of who the pitcher was, he focused on the last at-bat. "It wasn't that easy a ball. I thought it was the same pitcher throwing, so I concentrated as much as I could, but fortunately, a good hit came out," he added. At the same time, he said, `It was a home run, but it felt strange.'

Why did they say it was strange. Moon Bo-kyung gave a supplementary explanation. Moon Bo-kyung said, `I was worried before I entered the batter's box. I thought I had to play hard, but I thought it was my attitude as a professional player to do my best in any situation, so I tried to play it somehow. " It was that against a player who is not a professional pitcher, if you open your eyes, you can feel a little embarrassment and such emotions. Lee Joo-heon seems to have expressed that similar mind.




As for what could be seen as a deceptive intention, Mun Bo-kyung "There was nothing like that. I understand why the opponent made that choice, and it's also a scene that comes out often in the Major League. It was rather fascinating. I've never experienced anything like this before" he said.

Moon Bo-kyung said, "It's really good to have a breaking ball in the first pitch. I was really surprised. He's flustered. So I was more nervous." He explained with a smile.
