Korea defeated Japan in the Under 18 Baseball World Cup.

Pitcher Seohyun Kim, who was selected as the first overall pick in the rookie draft yesterday (15th), showed off her power with a high-speed ball with a maximum speed of 156 km/h.

Three Korean top prospects selected in the first round of the rookie draft completely silenced the Japanese batting line.



Sidearm Kim Jeong-woon, who was nominated by KT, came out as the starting pitcher and played a perfect pitch with 3 innings and 2 hits, and left-handed ace Yoon Young-cheol, who was selected by the KIA, 3 innings and 1 hit and no score.



The other ship exploded from the first inning.



Our national team, who took advantage of the ridiculous error of the Japanese defense team to pick four points and win early, put an end to the game by putting Kim Seo-hyun, who was nominated by Hanwha as the first overall pick in the 7th, leading 8-0.



Seohyun Kim started off uneasy by getting the first batter on base with a ball that fit her body, but escaped the crisis with a terrifying fastball.



After catching the first strikeout with a fastball with a speed of 153 km per hour in one-out 1-2 bases, in the crisis of two-out full base, he hit a top speed of 156 km per hour and finished the game with a roar.



South Korea, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the Super Round, will meet the winner Taiwan, who is running on a winning streak tomorrow.
