"The ball was really good. It's a ball that hitters haven't played before."

The KIA Tigers suffered a shock sweep loss in three consecutive games against the Doosan Bears last weekend. There were a number of issues. There were many factors that bothered KIA, including the revival of "Hustle Doo," Han Jun-su's fatal throwing error, closer Jung Hae-young's surprise second-tier trip, and the collapsed bullpen.

And what was another fatal hit was that he was beaten by young Doosan pitchers. In the second game on the 16th, Choi Seung-yong's injury failed to take the lead in the game, failing to target Yoon Tae-ho, who suddenly took the mound. Yoon Tae-ho threw so hard that it was hard to believe that it was his first appearance. Four scoreless innings. In the last game on the 17th, he dedicated his record of one run in five innings to Je Hwan-yu, who came out as a surprise starter. It was a humiliation in itself that KIA did not win the game between Nail and Jehwanyu.

KIA didn't suffer a long losing streak, and it was a situation where it gained momentum by sweeping three consecutive Samsung Lions games during the week, but it was a shock to the fans that these young pitchers couldn't hit the ball.

How did director Lee Bum-ho see it. Coach Lee, who met ahead of the Kiwoom Heroes match to be held at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 19th, admitted that the Doosan pitchers' balls were really good, and added that they were young players, and the control of the ball was good in the corner. Just looking at it being hit by ABS, I threw it well in every corner. "

Manager Lee continued "It could have been unfamiliar because it was a ball that hitters had never played before. Also, the pitching style is that the ball is a big ball, and the strike is stuck in a difficult position. So it wouldn't have been easy for hitters to cope with as well."




Coach Lee said, `There are only one or two games in the season that dry like that,' adding, `When I face Kiwoom during the week, the opponent is Alcantara and Mercedes' one-two punch comes in. If we play well during the week, I think we can do well in the three consecutive games of the LG Twins on the weekend"I was confident.
