Kiwoom Heroes won their first Taiwanese spring camp practice game, which is as valuable as their regular season victory.
Kiwoom won a dramatic 5-4 come-from-behind victory against the Zhongxin Brothers in a practice game held at Pingdong Stadium in Taiwan on the 26th.
Kiwoom gained confidence by winning its first victory in five games after crossing Taiwan.
Kiwoom's batting experiment continued. Director Hong Won-ki is looking for the best combination by changing the top batting order every game. On this day, the starting lineup was written in the order of Song Sung-moon, Lee Joo-hyung, Puig, Cardines, Choi Joo-hwan, Kim Gun-hee, Kim Dong-yup, Jeon Tae-hyun, and Kim Tae-jin.
No. 8 third baseman Jeon Tae-hyun stood out. A right-handed left-handed rookie who graduated from Masan Yongma High School. Picked in the 5th round of rookie draft. As a shortstop, he is an infielder with long hitting power, including five home runs last season. High school shortstop's record for most home runs.
It has rightly proved that it is not a falsehood. Jeon Tae-hyun hit a solo home run over the right fence in the top of the third inning when his team was losing 0-1.
Kiwoom was dragged 1-4 due to consecutive runs in the middle of the game, but veteran Lee Yong-kyu hit a two-run shot in the sixth inning and followed closely by one point.
The game was upended in the ninth inning. Kiwoom, who had a full base chance with no outs, hit a tie sacrifice fly by Yang Hyun-jong from Daegu High School in the sixth round. Yang Hyun-jong won the Bonghwanggi MVP in his second year and is a player with excellent batting qualities, including cycling hits in his third year.
In the following opportunity, infielder Eo Jun-seo, who was from Gyeonggi High School in the third round, hit a timely come-from-behind hit. Eo is considered a complete infielder with three pitches, balls, and weeks despite his poor performance. He is considered to be able to back up to second base immediately. Kiwoom won 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth inning by preventing a run.
Three starting agents Rosenberg, Ha Young-min and Kim Yoon-ha pitched two innings each, and Yoon Hyun, Kim Dong-kyu and Cho Young-gun threw the remaining three innings.
Jeon Tae-hyun, who hit his first home run in the practice game, said, `I was nervous because it was my first start, but I played boldly with confidence. I'm happy that the good results came out, and it was an opportunity to gain confidence." Regarding the home run situation, "After the first pitch became a ball, I checked the third baseman's defensive position and tried a surprise bunt, but the ball came back in." I was aiming for a fastball from the advantageous ball count, but I got a home run," he said, explaining the situation at the time.
Eo Jun-seo, the main character of the final hit, has been preparing for this moment in the waiting boxThe determination to play aggressively from the beginning led to good results"It's a practice game, but I'm happy to contribute to the team's victory."
