There is one “madangsoe” on the mound of KT in professional baseball this season.Park Young-hyun, who emerged as the league’s top setup man with “straightforward,” is the main character.
The second round of the semi-playoff against Kiwoom in October last year.
KT Park Young-hyun, a 19-year-old rookie at the time, completely blocked two innings and recorded the youngest save in postseason history.
Park Young-hyun surprised everyone with his bold appearance that was not like a rookie.
There was no second year jinx.
He had a 2-point ERA in the first half of the season, taking 16 holds, the second-most in the league.
Park Young-hyun, who modified his pitching form at this year’s spring camp, has become faster and stronger.
Oh Seung-hwan, the symbol of the finish of Korean professional baseball, is a role model, and his “straightforward ball” is gaining more power this year.
<Park Young-hyun / KT Pitcher> “Oh Seung-hwan has been a role model since middle school, but I practiced more because I wanted to resemble him.” Other pitchers throw the ball, but I think I’m pressing the ball at all…”
Park Young-hyun, who is always called “Denden-i” by fans for his part when he takes the mound, wore the Taegeuk mark of the adult national team for the first time in his life.
I am very excited to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games with Hanwha Moon Dong-ju, who enjoyed the honor of the first draft nomination together.
<Park Young-hyun / KT Pitcher> “(KIA Choi) Jimin and Dong-joo were together when they were teenagers, so I think it would be more comfortable because they are close now and even when they go there.”
Park Young-hyun is determined to throw his share of his close team senior So Hyung-joon, who failed to join the national team due to injury, in Hangzhou.
