‘Park Young-hyun’…”I want to challenge my dreams.”
KT Wiz lost its closure after the end of this season. Existing Kim Jae-yoon became a free agent and moved to the Samsung Lions. Trying to find a new back door guard inside. Park Young-hyun, a right-handed pitcher who has been active in the winning team, is being mentioned as a strong candidate.
Park Young-hyun, who met at Kyung Hee University’s international campus where KT’s fan festival was held on the 26th, said, “I was a little embarrassed because there were many stories about finishing the next game. But I also want a new finish to be me, he said. “It’s my dream to play that role. I will prepare better,” he said.
I met Kim Jae-yoon a day before the transfer announcement. Even after the official press release was released on the 22nd, they talked on the phone. Park Young-hyun said, “I contacted my brother to congratulate him. He said, “Oh, KT is done.” ‘Didn’t you leave too early. I said, ‘Go a little slower,'” he said. 사설토토
“I had a lot of thoughts and felt a lot of pressure at the fact that the team’s closing position was empty. “I was so sad that my brother, who played a really important role, left,” he said. “On the one hand, it’s also an opportunity for me.” “The position has not been decided yet, but if I am in charge of finishing it, I will call my brother often for advice,” he said.
When he was a student, Park dreamed of watching Oh Seung-hwan, the guardian deity of Samsung. After graduating from Yushin High School, he did not hide his respect and affection for Oh Seung-hwan even after he stepped into the professional league with the first nomination last year. He was evaluated as “Post Oh Seung-hwan” for his skills. It has a strong ball power in a fastball that exceeds 150km/h. It caught the eyes of many people with pitching that overwhelmed the batters. He is also a famous strong heart in the team and a “mental king.” If he steps up as a closer next season, he can walk behind Oh Seung-hwan and Kim Jae-yoon.
Park Young-hyun said, “I’m so excited. “I didn’t think I would approach my dream so early,” he said. “You have to take a chance and overcome crises to face a happy moment. I won’t know until next year, but I want to try it,” he said. He said, “The closing time is mostly set for the ninth inning, so we can prepare more completely.” There will be pressure, but I think it will be okay if we overcome it, he added.
After Kim Jae-yoon left, a new veteran joined. Right-handed sidearm pitcher Woo Kyu-min will leave Samsung through the second draft and build a new nest in KT. Park Young-hyun said, “I’m a senior who has had really good seasons. It would be nice to follow my senior and learn various things, he said. “I think we can create synergy next year.” I’m grateful,” he said with a smile.
Looking back on this season, he said, “It was a really happy year.” Park Young-hyun showed 3 wins, 3 losses, 32 holds, 4 saves, and a 2.75 ERA in 68 games and 75 ⅓ innings in the regular season. Born in October 2003, he became the youngest hold king ever.
The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, which closed on the 8th of last month, won the gold medal. He joined the adult national team for the first time in his life and played an active role. He boasted three hits, one walk, eight strikeouts and no runs in four games and five ⅓ innings. Following last year’s semi-playoff, it also took the playoffs and Korean Series stage for the first time this year. He finished the season with a runner-up finish in the Korean Series.
Park Young-hyun said, “I had a satisfactory year by forming King Hold. Considering the gold medal, I wonder if there is a better season. “If I finish it next year, I will try hard again,” he said. “I learned how to overcome the pressure in the Asian Games,” he said. “I feel even bolder,” he said. “I wanted to win the Korean Series, but I lost in the end. I’m going to admit it and prepare for the next season,” he said.
After completing the postseason schedule, he rested well. Park Young-hyun said, “I never touched the ball. I focused on resting well. I decided that I could do well next year, he said. “I plan to start exercising again from the middle of next month.” I will take a rest until then,” he explained.
I have an important schedule on the 27th. As the “hold king” of the KBO League, he will attend the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Awards. Park Young-hyun said, “I think I need to do a great job. I’m ready. I decided to get makeup, too,” he said, making a red voice.
