Kim Taek-yeon's spirit was worth living high. However, it was not enough to pass Choi Jeong's official records.

Doosan Bears closer Kim Taek-yeon took the mound in relief against the 2025 KBO League SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 3rd and recorded his seventh blon save of the season. The scene where Choi Jeong, the leading hitter of SSG, hit a timely hit was painful. Doosan suffered a 2-3 come-from-behind loss.

The match between Kim Taek-yeon and Choi Jeong in the top of the ninth inning had to be seen as an extension of the match on the 2nd.




Kim Taek-yeon and Choi Jung met in the top of the ninth inning with two outs and no runners ahead of Doosan in Gyeonggi Province 5-4 on the 2nd.

Kim Taek-yeon threw fastballs back-to-back at the full count. It was a fastball over 150km, but it was a good prey for veteran Baekjeon Choi Jeong. Choi Jung's hit flew out of Jamsil Stadium, but it was a foul. The next ball also fell to the top of the outfield stands at Jamsil Stadium, but it was foul again. In the end, Kim Taek-yeon turned to the slider. As Choi Jung grounded out to shortstop, Kim Taek-yeon kept the victory.

The next day, Kim Taek-yeon and Choi Jeong met again at the match point.




Kim Taek-yeon and Choi Jung reunited in the top of the ninth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases with Doosan leading 2-0. The first pitch was a slider, but it went high because it was not controlled properly. Choi Jung picked it out and preoccupied the advantageous count.

Kim Taek-yeon chose a fastball again here. Choi Jung couldn't miss this again.

Choi Jung-eun is the league's representative slugger with 500 home runs in his professional career. On the other hand, Kim Taek-yeon is a rookie in her second year. Confidence was good in believing in his credit and confronting him with strength, but it did not lead to a result.

Choi Jeong hit a timely hit that fell next to left field. At 1-2, SSG started the chase. Herredia hit another timely hit to bring the game to square one. SSG dragged the game into the 10th inning and finally turned it over.

On the previous day's foul home run situation, Choi Jung-eun "We prepared for quick fastball timing. When I hit my first foul home run and my second hit was a big foul, I thought 'My luck at the plate is over now' "Since then, I was worried about it without being sure about the fastball and the catch, and I made a contact swing to avoid striking out, but unfortunately, I was out."

Choi Jeong had already learned the timing of Kim Taek-yeon's fast ball.

Choi Jeong "A slider came on the first pitch and it was formed with a high ball. After seeing the slider, I felt more comfortable and balanced. "After that, the fastball came and I think the swing without hesitation led to a good result."
