"If you wear my uniform, I'll give you a free meal."

Doosan Bears rookie pitcher Yoon Tae-ho made an unconventional pledge ahead of his dream first-team debut. If they wear their uniforms to a Chinese restaurant run by their parents in Incheon, they will provide free meals. It's not a promise I agreed with my parents, but I smiled brightly, answering "I'm sure my mother will like it."

Yoon Tae-ho graduated from Incheon High School and wore a Doosan uniform as the 49th in the second round of the 2022 Rookie Draft. This year, in his fourth year of joining the team, Yoon Tae-ho finally joined the first team for the first time. On the 13th, Yoon Tae-ho was registered in the first team as Pil Seung-jo's sidearm Park Chi-guk took a leave of absence for his maternal grandmother.

Yoon Tae-ho, who met at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 13th, said "I first heard about the first-team call-up yesterday evening (13th), and I joined with half expectation and half excitement because I came with him." When I heard the call-up of the first team, I felt like I was going to fly away and I was happy," he said, smiling.

Yoon Tae-ho is the younger brother of identical twin Yoon Tae-hyun (SSG Landers). Yoon Tae-hyun is an underhand pitcher who joined SSG with the first nomination in 2022. Yoon Tae-hyun debuted in the first division in the first year of 2022 and tasted the pro before Yoon Tae-ho. That's why my parents' Chinese restaurant is known as a good restaurant for SSG fans.

Yoon Tae-ho said, `If I become good at baseball, I hope many Doosan fans will come. The menu I recommend is jjamppong. I like jjamppong the most. Fans who come in my uniform will ask me to offer them a free meal. Maybe my mother will like it more. There are quite a few fans who came in my twin's uniform, but none of them came in my uniform. If you come, your mother will like it more."

The Doosan fans' nickname is 'Eoksan'. It is widely rumored that Doosan fans are eating well enough to say that there is no food left in the past. When asked if he would regret his pledge, Yoon Tae-ho asked him to write a free meal pledge in the article, saying, `I don't regret it.'

Yoon Tae-ho's strength is a heavy fastball. He recorded a maximum speed of 152km in the Futures League this year, with RPM (rotations per minute) reaching 2,600, raising expectations. 2600 rpm is the highest level in the league.

Doosan wanted to appoint Yoon Tae-ho, who returned from military service, since last fall, but it took a long time to recover as he left during the spring camp due to a right biceps injury.

Yoon Tae-ho was hurt unfortunately when he went all the way to the camp. When I came back from rehabilitation, the coach and coach said it took a long time. When I recovered and tried to throw the ball again, the balance was not as good as last year, so I think I got better by measuring the figures with coach Kwon Myung-chul in the bio-mechanic group in Icheon and correcting the form. I think it took a little more time to not get sick.'

Doosan's acting manager Cho Sung-hwan said, `We've been paying attention to Yoon Tae-ho since last year's educational league that we'll really see him in the first team soon. I went all the way to the spring camp, but I got injured and it took a long time. I've been paying attention since last fall, so it's been almost 10 months. I made up my body in the Futures League and threw about 70 pitches twice, and now I have no health problems. If there is a chance while Park Chi-guk is away, I will put Yoon Tae-ho on the mound. If you think you are competitive, you can keep the entry. It is clear that he is a pitcher who throws a good ball. be competitive."

Acting head coach Cho also said, "(He has a good rotation speed, some fastballs thrown close to 150 kilometers, and he has a high release point. The hardware is good and the height (1m90) is big, so the fastball that sticks in from the top is my strength. If I can save the ball, I will play a good game. I may be nervous because it's my first debut stage in the first division, but I'm looking forward to it a lot. I know him as a twin with SSG Yoon Tae-hyun, and his parents raised the twins really well."

Yoon Tae-ho said, `Yesterday (12th) I watched the game (on the bench) and I was nervous. I'll be nervous if I go up, but I'm going to do what I'm good at and come down. Because fastball is my strength. I also throw curves and sliders, but the first pitch is a fastball, so I'm thinking of throwing a lot of fastballs. "My goal is to show my confidence without regret even if I throw just one ball when I go up."

For Doosan fans "If you go to the mound as soon as possible, you can block it well " We won the game."You'll do a good job thinking '"I left my determination.
