It was his best pitching in seven years.
Rookie who appeared like a comet in 2018 and was called Light Changsub. Samsung Lions right-hander Yang Chang-seop recovered the lost light.
Game 15 of the season against KT Wiz at Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th. It was a must-win game for Samsung, which lost three consecutive games the previous day and allowed Lotte Giants to tie for fifth place.
However, left-hander Lee Seung-hyun's control was shaken from the beginning. After giving up two runs on four hits and four outs in two ⅓ innings, he went down the mound with one out in the third inning. a 0-2 deficit. The extra point was in the mood that would soon lead to defeat.

He drew a ground ball to the third base by putting a 147km pitch close to his body. a double play that led to 5-4-3. It was the moment to escape the crisis without additional runs.
Samsum, who gained momentum, turned the tide with Kim Sung-yoon's come-from-behind three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning, and added three more runs with Diaz and Lee Sung-kyu's home runs in the sixth inning to win the game 6-2. It was a precious victory that pushed Lotte to sixth place by a half-game and chased fourth-place KT by one game. If he lost, he would have fallen to sixth place behind Lotte.
By far, Yang Chang-seop was the best contributor. He was responsible for the game until the end and even blocked the appearance of the winning team, which has become a little unstable recently.
Yang Chang-seop's pitching on the day was perfect. The two-seam fastball he wore this season was a great move.
The maximum 148km two-seam fastball dug into the right-handed batter's body and produced a missed ground ball. As the fighting spirit was powerful, Yang Chang-seop's trademark slider power was revived. He avoided hitting the ball in harmony with the curve.
For left-handed hitters, fighting spirit was a game that gradually moved away from the body. The changeup thrown against the left-handed batter was also powerful.
No hits in 19 at-bats against 20 hitters. The only on-base hit was one hit by Heo Kyung-min in the seventh inning. Yang Chang-seop, who took the mound with two outs in the third inning, continued his 11th consecutive hit until one out in the seventh inning. After Heo Kyung-min's dune, he played again with eight consecutive hitters.

Yang Chang-seop, who wore a Samsung uniform as the second-ranked player in the second round of the 2018 second round after graduating from Deoksu High School, became the starting pitcher for the rookie season and announced the birth of the super rookie with a 7-6 record and 5.05 ERA in 19 games. a ray of light from the dark ages. This is why it was called 'Bit Changsub'.
He expected the birth of a large pitcher to take charge of Samsung's starting team, but bad luck began as he was injured and put on the operating table. The return to full condition has been delayed. The recurrence of injuries has lengthened the dark time like an endless tunnel.
In the meantime, he was also caught up in gossip about the deliberate accusation of Binball due to speculation by commentator Oh Jae-won. Yang Chang-seop, the epitome of sincerity and exemplary players, is so unfair. It was a difficult time when I could think back on the words that bad things would come at once.
The long period of bad luck smelted him strongly. Yang Chang-seop returned with a two-seam fastball in an unwavering effort amid the faith of his beloved family. Finally, the end of the tunnel is visible.
Currently, Goo is on par with native ace Won Tae-in. A ray of light that came down again to Samsung baseball, which is striving to advance to autumn baseball. Yang Chang-seop returned with a firmer appearance. This is the beginning of the second act of baseball life.
