Youngest KBO record… ‘Great pitcher’ KIA Hyun-jong Yang, 150 wins

Hyunjong Yang of KIA, a professional baseball player, has achieved 150 victories in his career. It is the fourth and youngest record in KBO history.

This is reporter Bae Jung-hoon.

Yang Hyun-jong allowed Lotte Lee Dae-ho a large two-run four that went over the left fence in the first inning and started off uneasy.

But, it didn’t shake anymore.

He regained his rhythm by cooking Lotte batters with aggressive pitching, and his teammates also supported Ace’s counter-throw with Hobi.

Yang Hyun-jong, who endured without allowing additional runs until 2 outs in the 8th, led the team to 3 consecutive wins and won his 3rd win of the season, and achieved the 4th and youngest 150 wins in KBO history.

SSG, who had a pleasant victory the day before (18th), defeated Doosan for two days in a row with the power of the other line.

3 hits and 2 walks in the 4th behind 3-2 led to 4 runs and turned the game upside down, and Kron, a foreign batter in the 9th, fired a 140m tall solo cannon and put the wedge in the game.

Samsung, which drew the finish line with a fierce fight against the opponent in the 10th inning, beat Hanwha to 3rd place.

Samsung’s Oh Seung-hwan earned his 11th save of the season and climbed to the unheard-of KBO record of 350 saves.

Kiwoom, who led starter Woo-jin Ahn’s 6 innings scoreless pitch, defeated NC 3-1, and LG, with 6 hits and 6 RBIs, Eun-seong Chae and Oh Ji-hwan’s performances, beat KT.
