Jang Hyunsuk’s “5 innings 10K”Final inspection ‘no problem’

Jang Hyun-seok, the only high school pitcher to be named to the Asian Games baseball team, is making his final tune-up before the call-up, and his consistently powerful pitches have raised expectations.

Jang Hyun-seok, who joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in Major League Baseball last month, wore a Dodgers practice uniform and warmed up before the game.안전놀이터

He pitched in a practice game against Masan Yongmago in front of the national team coaching staff for his final practice check, and despite not having pitched in an official game since the presidential tournament earlier this month, his powerful delivery was still impressive.

He gave up one run on a fielding error, but struck out 10 in five scoreless innings, and his fastball was clocked at 150 mph.

After a clean final inspection, Jang Hyun-seok was determined to win a gold medal alongside his professional seniors.

[Jang Hyun-seok/Pitcher, Asian Games Baseball Team: (The goal is) to win the championship, of course. It’s the first time I’ve won the title of national team, so I’ll be very happy if I win the gold medal at the end].

NC’s Koo Chang-mo, who has been battling injuries and potentially dropping out of the roster, took the mound for the first time in three months today (Nov. 19) against KT’s second team.

He topped out at 145 kilometers per hour on his fastball and struck out two in two scoreless innings, though it’s unclear if he met manager Ryu Joong-il’s eye level.
