“Right now (Seo) Jin-yong is doing so well that I can’t express it in words.”
The ‘defending champion’ SSG Landers is showing off its strong power again this year. With a record of 20 wins and 10 losses throughout the season, he is in the lead alone. Above all, there is no gap in the back door. Finishing pitcher Seo Jin-yong is firmly locking the ball.
This season,메이저놀이터 Seo Jin-yong is giving a perfect performance. He pitched in 15 games, giving up one run in 15⅓ innings. There is a point, but the non-book record is currently in progress. Seo Jin-yong, who is proud of his extremely salty pitch, is called ‘Mr. Zero’.
His save record is also impressive. He is already leading the team in saves with 13 (zero blown saves). The gap with Kim Won-joong (Lotte Giants) in second place is 6 points. Seo Jin-yong, who has risen as the water rises, will challenge to collect saves in 9 consecutive games in the next appearance.
Ahead of this season, SSG’s lack of a closer was a weakness, but Seo Jin-yong erased that concern. SSG coach Won-hyung Kim, whom we met at Gocheok Dome on the 6th, said, “I had a lot of worries about the finish before the season started, but now (Seo) Jin-yong is doing so well that I can’t express it in words. Entering the season, I made one or two saves and gained confidence. I stuck and I’m throwing a good ball on the mound.”
Seo Jin-yong, who started the season as a setup man last year, took on the finishing task from May. He made 21 saves, but was unable to show consistent performance and eventually returned to the bullpen late in the season.
Director Kim said, “(Kim) Taek-hyung finished the finish around this time last year, but he fell out due to elbow inflammation, and then Jin Yong-i took over the finish from mid-May. Even then, he played his role well in the beginning.” I made it and have been in 100% condition since April, so I think I’m showing good performance now.”
15⅓ consecutive innings of unanswered streak. Is Seo Jin-yong conscious of the visa book record? Manager Kim said, “I don’t think there will be any pressure on the record. So far, we’ve done very well. I don’t think Jin Yong-yi will think about that part. I will not play baseball while worrying about the visa book record.”
