Hanwha Woollin Tong-in's home run was almost expected to swing with his eyes closed, but why did Kim Seo-hyun throw a fastball in the middle

The miracle tiebreaker seemed to open. Until Hanwha Eagles closer Kim Seo-hyun easily catches two outs in the ninth inning.
It was okay until Hyun Won-hoe hit the chase's two-run shot. He was leading by one point.
However, the come-from-behind two-run shot hit by Lee Yul-ye took away everything Hanwha had dreamed of. The scene will be an unforgettable pain for Hanwha fans as well as the Hanwha team, including head coach Kim Kyung-moon.
Kim Seo-hyun threw three fastballs against Lee Yul-ye. In the 1B1S situation, a 151km fastball came in in the middle, and Lee Yul-ye turned his bat coolly.
Lee Yul-ye was not a starter. It was Cho Hyung-woo's replacement. Hyun Won-hoe, who hit a home run earlier, also came into his first at-bat as a pinch hitter and hit a dramatic home run. SSG head coach Lee Soo-yong dispatched all the main players because it was the final match at home, but he seemed to lose a little by giving new players a chance in the second half of the game.

But why did Kim Seo-hyun throw a fastball in the middle against Lee Yul-ye. That's why it was fatal to get a home run by Hyun Won-hoe and then give a straight walk to Jung Joon-jae.
Kim Seo-hyun, who was shaken by the home run, failed to control the ball at all. After Jung Joon-jae got on base, catcher Lee Jae-won took the mound. It would have been obvious what could be said. Never mind corner work, just look in the middle and throw it.

That's why baseball is difficult. You could say why they didn't play the breaking ball or corner walk, but it was inevitable. This is why the straight walk given to Jung Joon-jae continues to be caught.
