“I felt a thrill different from the one I had seen so far.”
Hanwha coach Carlos Subero applauded Kim Seo-hyun (19) for his debut pitching.
Kim Seo-hyun pitched in relief in the 2023 KBO온라인카지노 League regular season match against the Doosan Bears held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 19th, pitching in relief in 7 innings and striking out 2 runs in 1 inning. Kim Seo-hyun’s strong pitching helped the back door shooter, and at the end of the 8th inning, Hanwha turned around with a 2 RBI sacrifice fly and took a valuable victory 7-6.
Head coach Subero, who met with reporters prior to the last game of the three-game series against Doosan in Daejeon on the 20th, said, “It was amazing. I felt a thrill different from what I have seen so far. Beyond the Hanwha Eagles, all Korean baseball fans watched Kim Seo-hyun throw. On the one hand, I think it would have been a pleasant day.”
What I wanted to praise the most was the way he did his ‘homework’ perfectly. He changed the way he tried to pitch with a slider center in the second team and greatly increased the proportion of fastballs, and this method succeeded in his debut match. Out of 17 pitches, 11 were fastballs, overwhelming Doosan’s lineup with pitches.
Coach Subero said, “I definitely want to mention Futures coach Choi Won-ho and Futures pitching coach Park Jung-jin. They asked me to induce them to throw a fastball. They even helped me to the point of giving me a mission to throw only a fastball until the 2nd strike. It took less than a month. I want to buy not only the talent but also the adaptability of the player very high. It couldn’t have been more perfect.”
Coach Subero looked back, saying, “Everyone remembers the first professional inning and first at-bat for a lifetime. Yesterday, Kim Seo-hyun overpowered the inning. Seeing that he was proud of that experience, I was also proud.”
