Full base with no outs → 2 outs, 2S...Was it because I was too excited? Why did Jung Woo-young go head-to-head for the third pitch

In the sports world, it is said that when adrenaline is released, the ability beyond one's own will come out. In baseball, pitchers throw faster balls, and in golf, they send shots further than usual.
However, if you get too excited, it may have an adverse effect. This is because if you get too excited, you can't judge rationally and you can be swept up in the atmosphere at that moment without your knowledge.
The LG Twins lost 5 to 6 in the 11th inning of extra time against the KT Wiz at Jamsil Stadium on the 9th. He blew the chance to finish the series and reach the playoffs.
I had to hit the ground. I thought I was losing weak until I was on the verge of loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the 11th inning. But what's wrong with this. Jung Woo-young, who did not expect much ahead of this series, took the mound and showed a tremendous performance.
He induced Bae Jeong-dae to ground out to second base to catch a runner at home. It was not easy until then, but LG fans on the third base began to boil up as Jung Woo-young struck out pinch hitter Chun Sung-ho.

Shim Woo-joon is the batter with two outs. Jung Woo-young's first pitch hit the strike. The cheering of LG fans reached its peak. One more time, fighting spirit. Foul. The atmosphere at the stadium heated up to its peak when it was pushed to 2S. But I had to calm down my excitement here. It would have been better to go with a game that showed one ball outside and induced a swing in the 2S situation as in Chun Sung-ho. However, Jung Woo-young also played a head-to-head game with a fighting spirit on the third pitch, whether he was full of confidence or whether he was out of control due to lack of power.
Shim Woo-joon did not miss it. Of course, the slowest 143km pitch came in during the game, and Shim Woo-joon hit a straight hit, making it a walk-off hit. It was a little outside ball in the center, but the course was also disappointing considering that Shim Woo-joon also hit an outside slider against Hernandez in the eighth inning to make a hit in the middle of the same course.
It is not known exactly whether it was Jung Woo-young's choice or catcher Heo Do-hwan's ball mix, but anyway, it was a scene that forced me to think of a manned ball. As mentioned above, if Jung Woo-young had sprayed a 150km powerful fastball like Park Young-hyun, it was certainly not the right time to play such a confident game if it was the ball of the day.
