"I was afraid...."
Park Shin-ji (26, Doosan Bears) changed his pitching form ahead of this season. He also changed his swing from the moment he threw the kick movement.
Park Shin-ji was a prospect who joined the second round of the rookie draft (10th overall) in 2018. Along with Kwak Bin, who joined as the first designated player, he received a lot of expectations, making his body in the first-team spring camp in his first year as a professional. He played in 17 games in the first year and showed the possibility with 1-2 losses and an ERA of 3.00, but time passed after failing to reliably become a first-team player due to his somewhat ups and downs. Kwak Bin, who was nominated together, joined the 'King of the Most Seung' in the second round, and Jeong Cheol-won (Lotte) embraced the 'King of the Rookie'. In the third round, Kim Min-gyu also made a name for himself as 'Autumn Man'.
Park Shin-ji's time has come this season. It was simply \\\\\\\\\\. He pitched 50 ⅔ innings in 42 games, becoming a key bullpen agent with a 2.66 ERA. In the last four games, they have thrown one inning and no runs.
On June 24, he became a winning pitcher for the first time in 1,139 days, and even took his first hold on the 2nd.

It was the result of changing everything. Park Shin-ji "After being injured last year, I changed my pitching form and prepared a lot."I haven't played in a long time, but there was also a fear of changing my form. Then, I got hurt and had time, so the coach asked me to change the pitching form, so I thought 'It's really the last time, let's prepare it. It's all fixed."
Doosan introduced Biomechanics in earnest in 2024. Park Shin-ji was able to enter into a change based on specific grounds, not just relying on feelings. Park Shin-ji said "It helped me see what I lacked objectively or what I needed to save because the numbers showed where I was good or bad. I worked out a lot with coach Kwon Myung-chul and got advice.
The winter with Lee Young-ha was also full. Lee Young-ha participated in the mini camp of Yomiuri Giants pitcher Togo Shosei with his juniors ahead of the spring camp. Togo is an ace pitcher who started the Premier 12 final last year. Park Shin-ji was also here. Park Shin-ji said "I went to Japan with (Lee) Young-ha in winter and prepared hard, and I think that part comes out well."

From pitching form changes to Japanese mini-camp. In the end, it was possible because Park Shin-ji made the decision. Park Shin-ji said "I thought that if I could change anything if I could raise my skills" and "The ball control and control began to rise. "I think I changed it well because my ball speed is better than usual and my ball control is better than usual." Since joining the team, the average annual speed has been below 145km, but now it has begun to come out to about 147km.
As the results came out, Park Shin-ji's pitching began to be a little more confident. Park Shin-ji said "I worked hard to prepare, and I felt that it wasn't wrong to change the preparation." I'm working on it with the idea of throwing it with more confidence" he said.
