Yoon Young-chul took the mound as a starting pitcher in a game against SSG Landers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 13th. Yoon Young-chul allowed only one hit in two innings, perfectly blocking the SSG lineup.
Yoon Young-chul, who struck out Park Sung-han in the top of the first inning and made a fresh start with three outs by handling Park Ji-hwan and Choi Jung with consecutive outfield flies, also caught leadoff hitter Guillermo Herredia with a ground ball in front of the third baseman in the second inning.
Ko Myung-joon also grounded out to shortstop. Lee Ji-young allowed his first hit after two outs, but he did not falter. Kim Sung-hyun was able to induce another ground ball with a ground ball in front of the third baseman, neatly blocking the second inning.
However, a variable occurred. Yoon Young-chul, who returned to the bench after pitching in the top of the second inning, complained of back pain. KIA bench judged that pitching was no longer difficult and quickly prepared Lim Ki-young for the mound.
In the end, Yoon Young-chul was replaced ahead of the defense in the top of the third inning, and Lim Ki-young took the mound. An official from the KIA team said "We replaced it to protect the player due to back pain. We plan to look at the conditions in the future." After that, an additional club official added "Yoon Young-chul has now moved to a nearby hospital. He added that he will undergo a thorough examination immediately at the hospital.
