Yang Hyeon-jong came to the mound as the team's second pitcher in the 5th inning against Milwaukee.
The lead hitter Mitchell was allowed a heavy hit, but catcher Butera caught Mitchell while attempting to steal, and sighed.
Yang Hyun-jong, who had lightened shoulders, turned Jackie Bradley Jr. into a missed swing, and the next batter, Garcia, finished the inning with a straight shortstop.
Episode 6 was literally perfect.
After catching the first batter Jack Green with a floating ball in right field, he struck out Kujins and McKinney in a row, ending with a three-way cutoff.
Yang Hyun-jong, who hit a home run in the debut match of the demonstration game on the 8th, raised the possibility of entering the big league with a more stable pitching in the second start.
[Yang Hyun-jong/Texas pitcher: I think the overall improvement is better than the last game.
The slider and changeup went well in the second inning.
I think it will get better.]
Woodward
thinks that
he will use Yang Hyun-jong as a bullpen pitcher,'Long Relief', who can digest long innings.
[Director Chris Woodward/Texas: I think it is suitable for Yang Hyun-jong to throw a lot of innings for the second time in a game with two starting pitchers.]
On the other hand, St. Louis Kim Gwang-hyun temporarily stopped pitching training due to back pain, increasing the likelihood that the first start of the regular season will be delayed at the beginning of next month.
