"My spine was chilling."

The lead, which has been kept since the fifth inning, almost flew out in the top of the ninth inning. The home run hit was a close foul. At the moment of being hit, I had no choice but to think 'tying home run'. That's twice, too.

Acting Doosan Bears manager Cho Sung-hwan looked back on the dizzying moment of the previous day's game ahead of the 2025 KBO League SSG Landers match in Jamsil on the 3rd.




Doosan narrowly won the match against Jamsil SSG 5-4 on the 2nd. Starter Zachlog went down to four runs in five innings. All the relief pitchers came out from the sixth inning, a point ahead of 5-4. Park Chi-guk, Lee Young-ha's ⅔, Park Jung-soo's ⅓, Ko Hyo-joon's ⅓, Park Shin-ji's ⅓, and Kim Taek-yeon's one ⅓ scoreless innings.

After two outs in the top of the ninth inning, the match between Kim Taek-yeon and SSG Choi Jeong was the highlight. Choi Jung-eun is the best slugger in the KBO league. This year is the first time in league history to surpass 500 home runs.

In two strikes and two balls, Kim Taek-yeon threw a slider manned ball. Choi Jung endured it and it became a full count.




Kim Taek-yeon chose the 151 km fastball. Choi Jung hit it with a bang as if he was waiting. The ball flew out of the fence like a bullet. It flew far above the left pole of Jamsil Stadium. It went outside Jamsil Stadium, which boasts the largest size in Korea. It was an out-of-the-field foul home run.

Kim Taek-yeon did not back down. He picked up another fastball on the seventh pitch. Choi Jung hit again at a good timing. Again, a huge hit fell to the top of the outfield stands on the left side of Jamsil Stadium. But it was a foul again.

For Doosan, it was a heart-wrenching scene.




Kim Taek-yeon played with a slider in the eighth pitch. Choi Jung drew a grounder to shortstop to end the game.

Acting coach Cho Sung-hwan said, `I got goosebumps from Choi Jung. He allowed a big hit and then chose another fastball. Rather, I thought that Kim Taek-yeon had a strong heart. It was so nice to see him try to trust his ball and throw it" he complimented.

At the same time, he swept his heart, saying, `At the same time, I thought Choi Jung was really a scary hitter representing our country.'
