Kiwoom’s promising pitcher Jang Jae-young is evaluated as a pitcher with the ball that can surpass An Woo-jin.
For him, who is a top talent, the second group is no longer a narrow stage. Now is the time to carefully look for a return to the first team stage.
Jang Jae-young started the Futures League match against the NC Dinos held at the Goyang National Baseball Training Center on the 18th and made a brilliant effort with 2 hits, 1 walk, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts and no runs in 6 innings. 2 wins and 2 losses in 4 matches. He has 10 hits and 19 strikeouts in 23⅓ innings. He lowered his average ERA from 1.04 to 0.77 and finally entered the ‘new world’ in the 0-point range. Considering the figures of 2 losses in 2 matches and an average ERA of 12.79 in the first team stage at the beginning of the season, the results were extreme.
However, 16 walks and 5 sand dunes are a bit of anxiety. It is expected that the key to success this season will be whether one can throw the ball in the first team stage.
On this day, Jang Jae-young finished 6 innings after 72 pitches. 42 strikes. There was only one walk, and the balance was good, but sometimes the ball came out big. 3 balls that fit the body are in an octet.
Jang Jae-young, who has been in the Futures League for a month since the 19th of last month, has been concentrating on pitching that improves control efficiency with a stable balance even if he reduces his speed. In his 1st team 2 games, the average fastball speed reached a whopping 154km, slider 142km, curve 130km, and changeup 136km, but he found stability through speed down.
On this day, An Woo-jin’s fastball was 141-150 km, curve 126-131 km, and slider 132-138 km. Considering the speed of the fastball, which reached the latter half of 150 km, it is equivalent to decelerating nearly 10 km.
Ahn Woo-jin got the runner on base for 5 innings except for the tripartite in the first inning. However, it was encouraging that he did not shake much even after the ball hit his body three times. There were times when the ball fell out of his hand, but overall his control was not suddenly shaken. His pitching, in which he catches the count and catches it with a breaking ball in crisis, also stood out.
He doesn’t seem to have anything more to show for the second team. Now is the time to raise the number of wins in the first team once again. Great pitchers are not made overnight. Failure and setbacks are the hands of God that turn a hard and large stone into a precious treasure that cannot be found anywhere else in the world 메이저놀이터.
