KIA Tigers outfielder Park Jae-hyun saved the team by showing a super catch in the crisis of losing points.
On the 30th, Park Jae-hyun played his first start game in the final game of the weekend's three consecutive games against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon.
KIA, which has been in a quagmire for four consecutive losses due to its reversal in both games against Hanwha, has selected rookie Park Jae-hyun as the first batter and center fielder.
Director Lee Bum-ho explained, "I thought it would be better if a young friend went out and moved, so I tried a little anomalous."
Park Jae-hyun, who impressed head coach Lee Bum-ho by showing sophisticated hitting, fast feet, and complying defense in the exhibition game, received an opportunity earlier than expected.
As the head coach wished, Park Jae-hyun played his part in the offense and defense.
Park Jae-hyun, who made his debut hit by hitting the first pitch off Hanwha starter "Korean Monster" Ryu Hyun-jin, soon stole the second base and succeeded in stealing the bases. It didn't lead to a run, but it was enough to energize the team from the start of the game.
Following offense and baserunning, he also showed outstanding performance in defense.
In a situation where he could have handed over the atmosphere, he showed a super catch and poured cold water on the Hanwha lineup.
At the end of the seventh inning, when the team was leading 5-2, KIA, which was in a situation with no outs and runners on the first and second bases due to bullpen pitcher Choi Ji-min's long hit and walk, faced An Chi-hong, who hit the final timely hit the previous day.
Park Jae-hyun caught the difficult ball with his quick feet and wit, although he was hit with a long-shot course between center field and right field.
If this ball was missing, Park Jae-hyun's defense was even more brilliant, as all the runners on the base could have come in and the atmosphere could have been overcome in an instant.
Shim Woo-joon, who was on third base, dug home and allowed one run due to Floral's ground ball in front of the pitcher with one out and runners on first and third bases, but KIA was able to break the losing streak and win 5-3 by locking the back door firmly until the ninth inning. 안전놀이터
"I was nervous (because it was my first start), but after I had my first hit at bat, I was all relaxed," Park said after the game. "I got too loose after stealing. That's why I didn't hit (at bat)."
"The blow was a little disappointing. "I was lucky to have my first at-bat," he said, "It was a game where I played full-time from the 1st to the 9th inning and learned what I needed to supplement."
