Jang Jin-hyuk said "In fact, there wasn't a lot of situations where I went out as a pinch hitter. GRAS I was just practicing the parts that I personally needed to supplement. I suddenly went out, but I was rather immersed in it. I looked back.
Then "The hitting coach asked me to catch the fast ball. The swing I wanted this season was so bad. I don't think you were able to focus on me. I think the sense I learned during practice while focusing on myself came out of practice."
