He was surprised at how he felt about starting in 1,005 games. I didn't get the word. I think the coach and the coach thought a lot about it and made the decision. I was surprised, but I'm happy to be the first one to go out in the retirement game when there was never a starting game." "There's not much time left until I start." I think I should focus on that part. I used to go out later, so I had time, and I felt that the starter felt like this."



With one batter scheduled, Jung Woo-ram expressed his determination, saying, `It's a lie that a good ball comes out like in the active role, but I prepared it for the fans at the last minute, and I'll pour out what I have with my heart.'

Jung Woo-ram's last opponent is NC Choi Jung-won. Choi Jung-won said "I didn't play with Jung Woo-ram, but Jung Woo-ram felt that he was a very good pitcher. It's an honor to be able to face an opponent like this in the last game. "It's an honor to be the first hitter at this retirement ceremony." I think it's right for me to do my best to go to the plate."

He caught the first strike on the second pitch with a fastball outside the first pitch. A ball towards the outside on the third pitch as well. The fourth fastball was a little crowded in the middle, and Choi Jung-won turned the bat without hesitation. A clean hit to the right. For Choi Jung-won, he greeted the senior who left with all his might.
