After the game, Yoon Dong-hee said "Today, I went to the batter's box thinking that the opposing pitcher was confident in his fastball, so I should hit it." I think I missed the final hit because the first pitch came in well, and I think I focused well on the idea that I should not miss the next ball" he said.
Yoon Dong-hee continued, `It was a little difficult because of the heat wave, but I made a lot of personal efforts to save my physical strength in the game. Recently, I felt that I lacked an active part in the at-bat, but focusing on this part seems to have led to better results"There are not many games left, so I will concentrate as much as I can and run to the end without giving up." he said.
