Hanwha Eagles closer Kim Seo-hyun, who had a turbulent season this season, took the mound as a magic pitcher for the national baseball team and blocked him from losing points in the crisis, ending the game.
Kim Seo-hyun took the mound in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 6-7 in the second warm-up match against Japan at Tokyo Dome in Japan on the 16th, and allowed one hit and one walk. And thanks to Kim Seo-hyun's blocking, Kim Joo-won's tying solo shot exploded after two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and South Korea finished with a 7-7 draw with Japan.
When Kim Seo-hyun came up, I was worried a lot. From the end of the regular season, he was in trouble with home runs in the playoffs and the Korean Series. A week ago, on the 9th, he took the mound in the top of the fifth inning against the Czech Republic and allowed one hit, two walks and one run in ⅔ innings, and this was the only run South Korea recorded in two warm-up matches against the Czech Republic.
However, Kim Seo-hyun eventually stood up. In the top of the ninth inning, Kim Seo-hyun, who induced the lead Nishikawa to hit a ground ball in front of the shortstop with a low fastball of 152km at the first pitch, but all of the fastballs thrown to Nakamura left the strike zone and walked straight. The first fastball thrown to Sasaki immediately rushed to the center and hit the middle, making it a crisis with one out and runners on first and third base.

Kim Seo-hyun, who only threw a fastball, threw a slider when the crisis came. In the match against Kono, Kim Seo-hyun, who caught a strike with a slider on the first pitch, induced a ground ball to the front of the first baseman with a slider on the fifth pitch in 1B2S. The first baseman immediately threw home and caught the third baseman with a threat. In the meantime, runners are on second and third bases with two outs.
It was possible to give up two runs with a single, but Kim Seo-hyun threw a high 150km fastball for the fourth time in 2B1S against Isovata, who had an RBI single, and Leesovata's hit flew away, but was caught by center fielder Park Hae-min.
For Kim Seo-hyun, the match against Japan is expected to serve as an opportunity to regain confidence. Although his control was unstable, he could see that it was a difficult ball for Japanese batters to hit as in Korea.
