LG Twins closer Yoo Young-chan is like that. He has lost three of his five Blon saves to the KIA Tigers this season.
The match against KIA in Jamsil on the 16th will inevitably remain a regret for both Yoo Young-chan and LG.
Yoo Young-chan, who took the mound in the top of the ninth inning with his team leading 2-0, allowed Kim Do-young to double to left-center after walking leadoff hitter Choi Won-joon on base. Yoo Young-chan, who allowed Kim Do-young to advance with a wild pitch, grabbed his first out count when he grounded out Socrates Brito, but in the match against Na Sung-beom, a low-course fastball led to a superior come-from-behind two-run shot, making him a blon save and a losing pitcher. The loss widened the gap between the second-ranked LG and the first-ranked KIA by five games.
Ahead of the match against KIA on the 17th, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Giving a walk to the first batter led to a bad result.' He said "Every time Yoo Young-chan makes a blon save this season, a walk is included. In order to reduce this, it is important to make a routine to prepare well from the bullpen. "It's the first year, so it's important not to repeat mistakes. I've talked about this before, but now that I've talked about it again, I thought, "Wouldn't (I) be familiar with it?"
