I could see how great the veteran catcher's 18th-year career was.
KT Wiz ace Ko Young-pyo (34), who started the exhibition game, brightened his outlook for this season by allowing one run (non-earned) during four innings. Then came veteran catcher Jang Sung-woo (35).온라인바카라
Ko Young-pyo struggled with one run after receiving consecutive hits following an error in the top of the first inning, but continued his stable pitching from the second inning and pitched two hits, three strikeouts, and no runs until the fourth inning.
He threw 52 balls, 21 fastballs with a maximum speed of 134km, 12 changeups, 10 cutters, and 9 curves.
By reducing the proportion of changeups and increasing the proportion of fastballs, he has shown signs of recovery.
Jang Sung-woo's lead changed Ko Young-pyo.
Ko Young-pyo had six hits (one home run) and one strikeout and four runs in two innings in a practice game against the KIA Tigers in Okinawa, Japan on the 3rd.
And the LG Twins, who will meet on the day, is a strong team against Ko. Ko has pitched in five games (four starts) against LG over the past two years, losing two games without a win, and posting a 7.83 average score.
Jang Sung-woo said, "I wasn't supposed to go to today's game, but the coach asked me to go out and take it because (the late) Young-pyo and (small) Hyung-jun took the mound the day before."
Jang said, "Young-pyo's change-up has been difficult since the ABS was implemented last year, as he did not get caught in the strike zone. It was especially difficult to deal with left-handed hitters," adding, "He is a friend who exercises harder and has more worries than anyone else while visiting Japan in the winter. I used to throw sliders (cutters) before that, but I tend to increase the weight of my change-ups."
Since change-up, Ko's main weapon, is so well known that hitters often prepare for change-ups in a timely manner recently. Jang said, "The change-ups fit well today as well. In the first inning, (Moon) Bo-kyung (right-handed hit) and (Kim) Hyun-soo (right-handed fly) were all change-ups. They all hit hard," he said. "It was good to change the pattern after the first inning and throw high sliders to left-handed hitters." "I kept talking to him until the fourth inning, and he said he understood how to go."
Ko Young-pyo, who threw six changeups in the first inning, was reduced to one in the second inning, two in the third inning, and three in the fourth inning.
After solving the ace's problems, Jang also showed a powerful batting performance. He hit a come-from-behind two-run shot over the left fence from LG's first starter Yoni Chirinos, who was showing good pitching in the bottom of the fourth inning when his team was losing 0-1. As the fourth batter, he made a point. "It was a ball that ran out of Chirinos' balls, but when I was cutting the ball, I remembered that they were throwing high fastballs, so I hit the ball in time for a homer," Jang said.
Jang Sung-woo, who signed an FA contract for a total of 4.2 billion won for the past four years in 2022, is the last year of his contract. Jang Sung-woo is becoming an indispensable center of the team as he becomes the main catcher, the fourth batter, and the captain.
