Choi Seung-yong started against KIA at Jamsil Stadium on the 19th and allowed four hits, one walk, four strikeouts and three runs in six innings. 73 pitches in total. Choi Seung-yong, who pitched less than four innings in all 10 appearances this season, pitched QS for the first time in 352 days since the game against Kiwoom in Jamsil on October 3 last year. As Doosan won 9-4, Choi Seung-yong also tasted the joy of his first win of the season.
Choi Seung-yong, who allowed a direct triple to the middle of the first batter Kim Do-young in the top of the first inning, was shaken by giving up a walk to Park Chan-ho. After Kim Sun-bin's ground ball, Park Chan-ho stole a base, and Choi Hyung-woo's timely hit to the right led to two runs. However, Choi Seung-yong overcame the crisis by striking out Socrates and Lee Woo-sung, respectively. After three outs in the top of the second inning, the batters turned the tables with three points, making their shoulders lighter. Choi Seung-yong threw out the third inning again, and Doosan's batters added three more runs.
Choi Seung-yong gave up a superior solo shot to Socrates after one out in the top of the fourth inning, allowing his third run. However, he caught Lee Woo-sung and Byun Woo-hyuk with a fly ball and a ground ball, respectively, to prevent additional runs. Choi Seung-yong, who made a mistake in the fifth inning and met the winning requirements, gave up a right-handed hit to Kim Sun-bin after one out in the top of the sixth inning, but later completed the QS pitch by handling the two batters well.
Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said after the game that `Choi Seung-yong recorded a quality start pitch and did his part 100% as a starting pitcher. He gave up the first run in the first inning, but it was an efficient pitch to take charge of six innings with only 73 pitches. The first quality start of the season came at a time when the team needed it" he complimented.
After the game, Choi Seung-yong became conscious as Kim Do-young was about to hit a milestone. I think he came to his senses after being hit by a long hit" and smiled "I thought he went over as soon as he got hit, but I don't think he went over because he used Jamsil as a home ground."
As for the number of pitches, it was a day to expect more than seven pitches. In response, Choi Seung-yong said, `I had greed, but I am scheduled to take four days off and start again. The coach also said, "Let's stop here" and turned over the moundCompared to when I first came to the first team, I feel like I'm finding my balance little by little now."
Choi Seung-yong, who pitched well in fall baseball last year, said, `I have a desire to be in fall baseball, but as there are many good pitchers on our team, I want to contribute to the team's victory"He expressed his determination.
