“I didn’t want to come down without even a quality start (less than 3 earned runs in 6 starting innings).”

Bae Bae-seong (27, kt Wiz) started the match against the Doosan Bears in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Jamsil Stadium on the 4th.

On this day, the exclusivity was not able to show clean pitching, such as sending out runners every inning. But the fighting spirit shone. He gave up 11 runners in six innings, but allowed only two runs. The final score was 6 innings, 7 hits, 4 walks, 1 strikeout and 2 runs. They overcame the crisis and laid the foundation for a 4-3 team victory, winning 5 wins (6 losses) this season.

After the game, Bae Seong-seong looked back on the day, saying, “I tried to fight strongly and aggressively with the idea of ​​catching it.

Jamsil Stadium, where the kt and Doosan match was held, was extremely hot. The heat covered the stadium so much that the Ministry of Public Administration and Security issued a ‘heat wave warning’ warning text twice.

The same applies to players on the pitch. In particular, the exclusion of the starting pitcher on this day was also affected.

Bae Seong-seong said, “Actually, the weather was really hot, so it was hard to overcome. I couldn’t breathe well on the mound, and the front looked yellow. Maybe that’s why it was helpful to rather relax and throw from the middle. (Kim) Jun-tae’s ball combination and advice , Soo-jin Ya also helped me a lot psychologically in defense, so I was able to last through 6 innings,” he expressed his gratitude to his colleague.

With the start of the second half, kt gained momentum and raised the rankings from 7th to 3rd at once. In particular, the strength of the starting pitchers stood out. Ace Ko Young-pyo, Wes Benjamin, William Cuevas, Eom Sang-baek, and Bae-seong Bae-seong are making great strides with quality starts for 7 consecutive games (Changwon NC Dinos match on the 28th of last month – Jamsil Doosan match on the 4th).꽁머니사이트

Bae Seong-seong said, “All the team members are doing well, and the situation has come where we can go up to third place. (Especially the starters are doing well) I didn’t want to come down today (4th) because I couldn’t even start a quality start. Taking responsibility for as many innings as possible and building a foothold for victory.” I want to let go,” he said.

Exclusion was sluggish in the middle of last year and gave up the starting position. He started as a relief pitcher this season, but joined the starting lineup again due to Joon Sohn’s season out. He has been going through ups and downs this season as well, but has recently been on a stable track by succeeding in quality starts in two consecutive games.

Regarding the change in exclusivity, he expressed his strong determination for the rest of the season, saying, “Personally, these days, being balanced has led to stable pitching. I will do my best to throw hard so that I can be more helpful to the starters and the team.”
