That's why Yang was nicknamed "Dae Pitcher." He allowed three runs in the bottom of the first inning when he allowed two fielders` errors, which he should not have made. Yang defended his teammates who made mistakes and threw stones at him. He also had a elegant interview with Yang that he would not have made mistakes if he had not been on the verge of loading the bases before that.안전놀이터
Yang Hyun-jong, a native ace of the KIA Tigers in professional baseball, started Game 6 of the season against KT Wiz in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 22nd, and pitched six ⅔ innings, four hits, three walks, four strikeouts, and three runs (non-earned) for his third win (four losses) of the season. It was a valuable pitching that led the team, which is in a difficult situation due to a series of injuries, to escape two consecutive losses.
After the game, Yang told reporters, "I always feel the same way. I tried to concentrate on the game as much as possible, whether it was a bad situation or not." "(Kim) Tae-gun had a great lead and also provided good scoring support," he said.
Yang was off to a shaky start. He took the mound in the bottom of the first inning with two runs on the lead, but he allowed second baseman Yoon Do-hyun to make a fly ball catch error and third baseman Kim Do-young's bad pitch to end the game 2-2 with one out. He then induced Bae Jeong-dae to ground out to the third base, but the in-play situation continued as the base touch was made first at second base rather than third base, and in the meantime, he gave Jang Sung-woo a come-from-behind score.
Both Yoon Do-hyun and Kim Do-young are the future of the Tigers, who are 15 years younger than Yang. Yang said, "Anyway, I gave up the score when I was on the mound. Of course, there was a defense error, but I got the bases loaded because I gave up a walk after receiving a hit. If I hadn't made such a situation, I don't think the error would have come out. I didn't blame anyone and reflected on myself more," showing off the dignity of being a major pitcher with 182 wins.
"Since I am a pitcher, I think fielders will be more stressed out if they intervene in the field of fielders as well. The fielders have (Choi) and (Park) Chan-ho in their team. Actually, after the first inning, Chan-ho said, "Let's gather the fielders and do what we can. It would have touched young players or inexperienced players a little better."
Yang suffered two losses and an 8.24 ERA during the month of April without a win. However, May is different. He gained his first win by allowing one run in six innings against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on May 5, and regained his reputation as a major pitcher amid good pitching of three wins and one loss and 1.88 ERA in four games in May.
What has changed? Yang said, "It's up to me. I thought a lot about negative thoughts and bad results in April, but my physical condition improved in May, and I changed my mind positively after winning the game. When I threw the ball in April, I thought, 'What if I get hit?' and 'What if I get hit?' but now I have confidence that I can overcome batters."
KIA is aiming to leap to the top of the list like a defending champion, even without key resources such as Na Sung-bum, Patrick Wisdom and Kim Sun-bin. And head coach Lee Bum-ho is dreaming of a so-called "six-chiol" that will rise from June when the injured usually return.
Yang said the same thing. "I dare say this if all the injured players come back, but I think our strength is strong. Mercenaries and middle pitchers are suffering a lot right now, so if we hang in there a little more, we will have more chances to score points to win. For now, we have no choice but to do our best in every game with the players here," he said.
