After returning to Doosan, I finally crossed the fence of Jamsil Stadium for the first time, but I didn’t feel very good. This is because it is mid-May, and he has just hit two home runs in the season. 

The Doosan Bears won 5-1 in the 5th game of the season against the KIA Tigers in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 13th. As a result of this day, they secured the winning series early with two consecutive wins, recording 16 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses in the season. After the match against Lotte on the 9th, he recovered his win rate to 50% in 4 games. 

Yang Eui-ji started as catcher number 3 and played an active role with 2 at-bats, 1 hit (1 home run), 1 walk, 1 ball and 2 runs. He went on base with 1 out and 1 base in the 1st inning and hit home on Yang Seok-hwan’s sacrifice fly, and hit a 2-run homer with 1 out and 1 base in the 5th inning, leading 3-0, to seal the game. It was the second home run of the season, three weeks after the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on April 20. This was also Doosan Yang Eui-ji’s Jamsil home run, which came out 1674 days after the Jamsil NC game on October 12, 2018. 

In addition to this, Yang Eui-ji showed off a seasoned pitcher lead in defense and contributed to blocking the KIA line by one run. Starting with starter Choi Seung-yong’s 6 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts and 1 run, Park Chi-guk played 2 scoreless innings, and Kim Kang-ryul, who returned, played a relay fight with 1 scoreless inning.

Yang Eui-ji said after the game, “It seems difficult to hit a home run in Jamsil. I didn’t come out because I was constantly conscious. Making up my mind to hit it simply before entering the at-bat led to good results,” he said. Then a good home run will come out,” he said.

Behind the season 2 home run, there was a one-point lesson from hitting coaches. Yang Eui-ji said, “These days, pitchers have good control, so they were put on a disadvantageous count every time. There were many at-bats where I couldn’t swing my swing. In response, coaches Kim Joo-chan and Goto advised me to hit far from the front, but I really didn’t expect a home run like this.”토토사이트

Still, there was no satisfaction. Because he unwillingly hit only two home runs in 31 games of the season. He laughed, saying, “It’s the worst,” and said, “It’s true that home runs are very conscious. I try to clear my mind as much as possible. There is no guarantee that he will hit to a certain extent this year, but I think it will be good at the end if he does his best in every game and comes to the plate.”

How was Kwak Bin’s replacement starter Choi Seung-yong’s pitching that day? Yang Eui-ji said, “I passed the first inning well and threw it comfortably from then on. When there was strength in the early fastball, it worked well to play boldly toward the body, and in the back, a slider and a changeup were mixed to produce results.” “The young pitchers on our team have endless possibilities. Just as the senior pitchers helped me a lot when I was young, I try to help the young players a lot. Talk a lot. We have to work hard to make our mound stronger.”

Doosan broke away from sluggishness with two consecutive wins against KIA and reached a win rate of 50% again. Yang Eui-ji said with strength, “Seniors have to work harder,” and said, “Since the younger siblings are up and throwing well, I think the more we play, the better the results will be. Seniors must work hard to continue this atmosphere,” he emphasized the veteran’s sense of responsibility.
