The opposing pitcher hit a home run, but Bae Jung-dae bowed his head and expressed respect.
KT Wiz's Bae Jeong-dae hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 3 of the semi-playoff against the LG Twins at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 8th. In the bottom of the ninth inning, when KT was trailing 3-6, he faced LG closer Yoo Young-chan and hit a thunderous two-run home run to save the spark of hope with one out and one base. It was a one-run chase home run that hit Yoo Young-chan's fastball and hit the deepest part of the fence in the middle.
Unfortunately, KT lost without scoring any more points, but KT had the last income as Bae Jeong-dae's home run brought down Yoo Young-chan and even Elijah Hernandez took the mound.
However, Bae Jeong-dae, who met ahead of Game 4 the next day, showed his respect for the opposing pitcher before the joy of hitting a home run.
Bae Jung-dae said, `I think Yoo Young-chan is really amazing. I saw an article that there was a father figure, but I don't think I would have been able to go out of the game. However, I would like to say that it is great and respectful to go to the game because the team has an important game ahead. He's younger than me, but I was really surprised" he said.
Yoo Young-chan suffered a lot ahead of the semi-playoff. However, he is continuing to play his role as a closer for the team, leaving his sadness behind for a while.
Bae Jeong-dae is not personally close to each other. But originally, I was going to meet and talk to you before the first game, but I didn't have a chance. I knew from the article, but I still wanted to do it if I had a chance to talk about this. Regardless of the result, I wanted to talk about it as man-to-human."The world of victory is cold but respectful. It is admirable to have such a mentality in itself. I just want to say that," he said cautiously. It was a heartfelt story.
