"I didn't even take a day off and threw the ball."

This year's Korean Series between the KIA Tigers and the Samsung Lions began on October 21 and ended on October 28. There is a pitcher who threw the ball without taking a day off during this period. It is right-hander Jang Hyun-sik (29), who signed a four-year, 5.2 billion won FA contract with the LG Twins on the 11th.

Jang Hyun-sik made the remarks ahead of the LG event at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Tuesday. He pitched in all five games of the Korean Series. He also had good performance. He had one hit, three strikeouts, three walks and no run in five innings. He also garnered one hold.

Many say that his stellar performance in the Korean Series helped boost his value in the FA market. Of course, he played well during the regular season this year. He did not give a small score to players, but he played 75 ⅓ innings in 75 games. Since his debut, he played in the most games and the second most innings after moving to Kia.

What stands out is consecutive pitching. Jang said during the All-Star Game in July, "If you throw consecutive games, you will be in better condition." In fact, Jang had 22 consecutive games this season, including one in three consecutive games. He only gave up seven runs during 23 innings here. His ERA is 2.74, which is better than the season's record.

A bullpen pitcher's ability to throw consecutive games is tremendous competitiveness. However, he does not instruct bullpen pitchers to throw three consecutive games, and refrains from doing multiple innings in a while. He tends to thoroughly manage the game. It is true that Jang Hyun-sik was often on the mound, but he was not abused by former managers Kim Jong-guk and Lee Bum-ho.

I asked Jang why he is in good condition and produces good results when he throws consecutive games. The answer to his question was "I don't know." "I threw the ball nonstop during the Korean Series. Rather, I felt that I was not in pain as I kept throwing. I realized that I just needed to control myself well."

He said, "Wouldn't it be better if I didn't get sick by throwing a lot? I think so." With this and that, Jang Hyun-sik has a strong constitution and a bullpen constitution. On the secret to not getting sick even if I throw a lot, he said, "My parents gave me a good body. It's kind of amazing that I have a body that doesn't hurt either. I will throw more consistently and not get sick from next year."

Jang even said that he would have quit if he had become a starting pitcher. He also played as a starting pitcher when he was with the NC Dinos. However, he said, "I thought about that a lot, but I think I was lucky to be a bullpen pitcher. I got better when I went to Kia." 카지노사이트

Now, Jang wants to show off his instinct like he did at the Kia Tigers. He plans to move to Tottori, Japan, to engage in recovery training with several players who are compatible with him during the off-season. Yeom Kyung-yeop should refer to this characteristic.
