KIA Tigers coach Lee Bum-ho gave Jeong Hae-young a firm trust in 'Shaking Finishing'.

Manager Lee Bum-ho drew the line ahead of the 2025 KBO League Hanwha Eagles match at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 2nd that he has no plans to change his position as a closer.

Jung Hae-young has kept KIA's back door since 2021. He made 34 saves in 2021, 32 saves in 2022, 23 saves in 2023, and 31 saves in 2024.




The number of saves this year was 26, maintaining the level of previous years. However, there are seven blon saves. Jung Hae-young has never exceeded four blon saves in a season from 2021 to 2024. 2025 is the most challenging season.

In the last 10 games, he has allowed 10 runs (nine earned runs) in eight ⅔ innings and lost three games. Jung Hae-young also went down to the second division on the 17th of last month.

Nevertheless, head coach Lee Bum-ho decided to wait for Jung Hae-young.




Coach Lee Bum-ho also said, `Before that, I told him to send him down to the second division and try the whip and come to his senses. There are other players, but it is right that (Jeong) Hae-young should take charge of it based on the ball power. After consulting with the pitching coach, he concluded that it would be right to trust Jung Hae-young once more. There is also a very dangerous part of changing the position itself now. "

It is difficult to change the closer because it is directly related to winning or losing. Pitchers who threw well in the middle often fail to show their skills when they are in save situations. Jung Hae-young is sluggish for a while, but the career he has built over the past five years is expected to recover.

Coach Lee Bum-ho said, `Jeong Hae-young is a player who should continue to do so in the future. He threw very well in the previous season and the year before. It's hard this year, but I can get better next yearHe hoped that 2025 will be the foundation for another growth.




In the end, Jung Hae-young herself has to overcome it. Coach Lee Bum-ho said, `My pitches and speed are all up and my body is in good shape. However, he is also paying attention to the part where he is right. He is only 25 years old now. When looking at the future, I thought it would be right for us to trust and write it," he said emphatically.
