At the end of the second inning, when the score turned 3-2, lead hitter Yoon Jung-hyun gave up a heavy hit, but he did not concede a run due to strikeouts and double hits. Yoon Young-chul, who overcame the crisis with 2 outs on 1st and 2nd base at the end of the 3rd inning, recorded the first tripartite at the end of the 4th inning.
In the bottom of the 5th inning with a 10-2 lead, Yoon Yeong-cheol gave up an additional run with Kang Jun-seo’s 1 RBI infield hit after lead hitter Kim Sang-min hit a right-handed triple. The team ran away with a score of 15-3 in the top of the 6th inning, and Yoon Yeong-cheol gave up a hit to lead batter Oh Hyeon-seok at the bottom of the 6th inning, and then turned the three batters into bats and finished the mound.
The number of pitches was 93, which matched the planned 90-100. His highest fastball velocity was 139 km, with an average of 135 km. He threw 46 fastballs, 21 sliders, 16 changeups and 10 curveballs.
Yun Yeong-chul, who was dropped as the 5th starter this year, should have pitched in 3 consecutive matches this week, but as all 3 consecutive matches with KT Wiz during the week were canceled due to rain, his opportunity to pitch was pushed back and he experienced actual matches in the Futures League. Yoon Young-chul will make his debut on the 15th against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes.
Regarding the delayed debut of Yoon Young-chul on the 8th, KIA coach Kim Jong-guk said, “There are many injured fielders, so stable starting pitchers need to hold the center, so we decided to rotate the starting rotation with four experienced players. I wondered if Yeongcheol could take another break,” he explained.
