a dramatic victory over the Dominican Republic. It would not have been possible without Park Young-hyun (KT Wiz). Park Young-hyun took the mound in the top of the eighth inning with one out and two outs in the top of the eighth inning when South Korea was trailing 4-6 in the fourth Group B match of the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 at Taipei Tianmu Stadium on the 16th (Korea time), recording two hits, no four outs and no strikeouts in one ⅔ inning. In the bottom of the eighth inning, South Korea produced a five-run big inning, and Park Young-hyun became the winning pitcher as he blocked the top of the ninth inning well.
Choi Ji-min, who put in the top of the eighth inning, handled the first batter well, but his control shook in the second at-bat and he was in a 2B situation. Coach Ryu Joong-il immediately put in Park Young-hyun. He has exhausted most of his bullpen resources by playing bee baseball earlier. There was no other option. While Park Young-hyun blocked five batters, he had to hope that the batters would turn the tables.
Park Young-hyun got off to a shaky start by giving up a left-handed hit to Mrs. Aces. However, he soon caught Mrs. Access with a check ball, and even Rodriguez struck out and erased the inning. In the top of the ninth inning, when the South Korean batter turned the game around 9-6 by scoring five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, he allowed a hit to the leadoff batter De Leon, but he handled Cespedes with a fly ball and caught Hanson with a shortstop double play, keeping a three-run lead and becoming a winning pitcher at the same time.

Park Young-hyun said, `There were a lot of difficult situations in the beginning, but I'm satisfied that the older brothers didn't give up. We also played a proud game."
the finisher in charge of the last. Throwing one ⅔ innings on the international stage, multi-innings, and especially on the international stage, is a rare experience in recent trends. Park Young-hyun said "If the brothers block the 8th inning well, I'll score points." I tried to stop it well. "It was so good when I turned the tables. I thought I had to stop well to win, so I went to the mound with all my heart."
