He blew away his heartache, which was particularly severe this year. Yang Seok-hwan of the Doosan Bears led his team to a 13-8 victory against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 3rd, with four hits and five RBIs, including a come-from-behind grand slam and a finishing hit.
It was a shot that turned around the game, which was trailing 0-6. From a double in the bottom of the second inning, which was the starting point of the chase, a double in the bottom of the fourth inning, a come-from-behind grand slam that turned 3-6 over 7-6, and a finishing hit against Lotte's Koo Seung-min at 7-7 tie, he was responsible for five RBIs alone.
In particular, Lotte Kim Sang-soo's 147km fastball to the body was strong, sending a full base shot over the left fence 115m. The 7th Grand Slam of my career. Immediately after hitting the come-from-behind grand slam, he performed a more intense ceremony than usual and heated up Jamsil, which was filled with 19,727 baseball fans.
Together with the main gun Yang Eui-ji (6 RBIs), he combined for a grand slam and 11 RBIs to lead the team's victory. The grand slam launched with Yang Eui-ji was the first 'Han Mandu (two grand slams in one game)' in Jamsil history.
After the game, Yang Seok-hwan responded to the grand slam ceremony, saying, `The reversal itself was happy, but I think it brought the atmosphere, so the reaction came out big. It was almost a tough game because the score was wide in the beginning, but we were able to win thanks to all the good work in the squad"He expressed his responsibility and satisfaction as a captain.

Yang Seok-hwan signed an FA contract with Doosan for a total of 7.8 billion won for 4+2 years before the season. It is a contract with a two-year mutual option of 1.3 billion won added to a four-year maximum of 6.5 billion won.
There have been many words since the time of the contract. Starting this year, he became the captain, adding a sense of responsibility.
He is responsible for 20 home runs every year in Jamsil. This year, he also proved his value by shooting 19 in the first half of the year. He also continued his cruising toward 30 home runs and 100 RBIs.
Yang Seok-hwan said "It is true that it was difficult because the season started badly. I acknowledged my shortcomings, and I think the results are getting better little by little because people around me helped me a lot. Coach Lee Young-soo helped me a lot. I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of my heart," he stressed.

On the other hand, regarding the record of 'Jamsil Handum' set with Yang Eui-ji, "The first record feels good at any time. It's more meaningful because the record came from a really important game for the team. I feel even better to be able to leave a name with Will."
