154km fastball in the archipelago → 6 innings of QS overpowering defeat, defeat, and defeat, and the first victory in the Japanese education league

Doosan won the Phoenix Education League match against the Nippon Ham Fighters 9-4 at Miyazaki Ikime Stadium in Japan on the 13th.
Starting pitcher Kim Yoo-sung pitched a perfect score. On this day, Kim Yoo-sung played six innings alone and kept the mound. Kim Yoo-sung came down the mound against Rakuten on the 7th after facing only one batter in Doosan's first game of the educational league.
This is the first time that I've been selected properly. In addition to the maximum speed of 154km fastball, he tied Japanese batters by mixing curve slider fork balls evenly. The total number of pitches was 91.
Kim Yoo-sung, who joined Doosan in the second round (19th overall) of the 2023 rookie draft, was a 'completed' pitcher when he joined the team. In addition to the fastball in the mid-150km range, the breaking ball control was also evaluated as stable.

Kim Yoo-sung, who once showed his growth against Japanese batters in the educational league last year, lost 1-2 with a 6.43 ERA in 17 games this season.
Expectations were high, such as being mentioned as a candidate for selection this season, but he failed to come out until the middle of the season.
He once again found a solution at the end of the season. I corrected my throwing a little bit, and it was balanced. In the game against the NC Dinos on the 28th of last month, which was the last game of the season, he won the season 'the beauty of the season with three strikeouts and perfect scores in two innings.
The closing camp will once again be a venue for Kim Yoo-sung's growth. In particular, he pitched a quality start (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs) against Japanese batters, who have an advantage in sophisticated hitting, raising expectations for the next game.

While the pitchers allowed four runs, the batters scored nine points to lead the victory. Jeon Da-min and Hong Sung-ho and Kim Dong-joon played multi-hit, and Im Jong-sung scored two RBIs.
Doosan, which had three consecutive losses and two draws without a win since the start of this year's education league, was able to record its first win in six games.
