He humiliatingly defeated the shutout. Lee Yong-kyu, a 40-year-old veteran, took the lead in destroying Go Young-pyo, the ace for the national team.
Lee Yong-kyu led Kiwoom to a 5-3 victory in Game 1 of the weekend series against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 2nd.메이저놀이터
Kiwoom has a painful memory of losing three hits to Ko on April 20. He had 16 hits during six innings on the day, humiliating Ko that it was the most hit in a single game in his life.
However, the process was bumpy. He had 11 hits through the fifth inning, but he scored only one run thanks to Song's missed infield hit with two outs in the top of the fourth inning.
In the top of the sixth inning, he broke through Ko Young-pyo's shield. Leadoff hitter Eo Jun-seo got on base due to an error, and Lee Yong-kyu, Song Sung-moon, Choi Joo-hwan, and Cardine's Won Sung-joon had five consecutive hits. Kim Tae-jin's sacrifice fly made it 5-0. Later, he allowed a consecutive home run to Ahn Hyun-min, a new generation KT big gun, and was chased to 5-3, but closer Joo Seung-woo did not allow only a turnaround.
After the game, Hong said, "The batters were generally good. Song Seong-moon's first run scored in the fourth inning to lead the game, and he widened the gap by scoring consecutive runs in the sixth inning. In particular, Lee Yong-kyu and Choi Joo-hwan each had three hits to lead the lineup," he said, encouraging the fielders.
I sincerely thank the fans who came to the away game and cheered for me despite the losing streak. I will prepare well to show good performance in tomorrow's game.
What was particularly impressive was the match between Lee and Ko. In his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, Lee had a double play. However, it did not affect his score.
In the second inning, he stood with two outs and a full base. However, he had the ball count of 2B2S by pitching in four consecutive games, and in this case, he had a change-up of his mind and struck out swinging.
Lee Yong-kyu, who changed his mind, met again in the fourth inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. He hit Ko Young-pyo's very changeup accurately, loading the bases with two outs, and Song Sung-moon's missed infield hit became the first run.
In the top of the sixth inning, he hit Ko's changeup once again with no outs and a ball count of 1B2S. He then hit home when he had a rain shower hit.
Lee Yong-kyu is Kiwoom's playing coach this season. He was registered in the first team for the first time this season on April 30.
In his first regular season appearance of the season, he changed the trend by making two hits and stealing a base against Lotte's Park Se-woong, and proved his presence again on the day.
After the game, Lee said, "I was going to play two to three games (for Futures) and join Suwon. It was the coach's consideration. However, due to the team's situation and my personality, I wanted to challenge myself first, so I just decided to do it. The result was the match against Lotte."
"I just try to get on base somehow, pick out the ball well. I'm concentrating on one ball, one ball."
Recalling his at-bat in the top of the second inning, Lee said, "Actually, I don't usually go for it, but I was aiming for a change-up back then. But I was defeated. After missing two commitments, I was fooled by the last good change-up. I have no choice but to admit (Ko)."
"From the next at-bat, I decided not to be fooled by the same pitching. Fortunately, I got on the base (and) got the first run. If I hadn't saved both times, I think my team could have become a little more difficult," he said.
On this day, Ko Young-pyo allowed five runs (three earned runs) in six innings and added another quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs). It is the fifth of this season, the legendary "Goquals."
Lee said, "He is a really good pitcher. He has his own tips in scoring position. We need to prepare more thoroughly for the next game and analyze ball combinations in scoring position to produce better results."
Although he was not in the first team roster, he always accompanied the team. He was also spotted giving passionate guidance to his juniors. Lee Yong-kyu said, "Young players are working hard. Baseball is not easy, but everyone is in a hurry. If you repeat it based on your experience, you will get better. You don't have to worry."
How does it feel to play on the ground even at the age of 40. He is still a leadoff in batting and a center fielder in defense. He is also a "big shot" ahead of his sixth 400 steals in the KBO League. He is followed by Jeon Joon-ho (549), Lee Jong-beom (510), Lee Dae-hyeong (505), Jeong Su-geun (474), and Park Hae-min (420).
"I feel great. I have confidence that I can play enough. When my team needs me, I want to be of help somehow. I have no problem with my position anywhere. "I play when I can buy a stolen base, and I'm not going to try it because I'm greedy to do three more. If I'm good at it, I'll naturally follow the record."
