Park Jong-hoon is an orthodox underhand pitcher who represents the history of Korean professional baseball along with Jung Dae-hyun (current Samsung Lions second-tier manager). Among the overseas pitchers, Watanabe who gave nightmares several times in the Korea-Japan match??It used to be compared to Ske (former Chiba Lotte). As such, the release point is the lowest in Korea, and it was rich in an era with the exquisite control of the ball coming up from its height.
Park Jong-hoon raised his arm. SSG manager Lee Soo-yong said, `We are making changes to our pitching form these days. He explained, "I decided to raise my arm and change it to a throwing position."
It's not a complete change to a three-quarter or orthodox pitcher. He still plays underhand pitching form. It is the stage of testing the anomalous pitching appropriate to the situation. However, there is a possibility that it will change completely if the pitching form with the arms raised comes out.

In the Samsung Lions' second division match on the 5th, the arm height rose further. It is a pitching form that is close to a right-handed orthodox pitcher with a low arm height. In the eighth inning with a 12-1 lead, he played his part with one scoreless inning and 2K. The maximum speed of the day was 140 kilometers.
On the other hand, when he threw a crystal ball, he changed his pitching form. The large-angle curve from the underhand pitching form that seemed to scratch the familiar floor led to a swing and miss.
It is a change that has been in place since July. He's regaining his confidence after changing his pitching form. An SSG official said "It is expected to have a positive impact on the recovery of performance in the future."," he stressed. This is similar to the anomalous pitching that Shim Soo-chang tried in 2015 when he was at Lotte in the past by mixing various pitching forms.

Since joining the SK Wyverns (the predecessor of SSG Landers) in the second round (9th overall) in 2010, he is a one-club man who has played in only one team for 16 years with a career record of 72-79 and an ERA of 4.85. During his heyday, he won 12 games in 2017, 14 in 2018, and 13 in 2020, showing off his presence representing 'Incheon Baseball' as much as Kim Kwang-hyun.
However, he has been in a long slump since signing a five-year, 6.5 billion non-FA extension contract in 2021. He has taken the mound in 44 games (41 starts) in four years and played 182 innings, recording 6 wins and 17 losses with a 6.38 ERA. Apart from his brilliant career, he is considered a regrettable extension contract that will remain in the history of professional baseball.
After taking the mound in five games, losing two and posting a 7.11 ERA, he has been in the second division since early May and staying for a long time.
He, who has lived underhand all his life, raised his arm. It is literally a career crisis and a challenge chosen on the brink. It is an adventure and challenge that risks the life of baseball.

There was also room for the possibility of returning to the first team or taking the postseason. The head coach said, `We have not reached the desired level yet"But "I'll watch it with all the possibilities open until the end of the season. If the second team recommends it, it will come up anytime."
