, who hadn't played in an official game for a year due to a shoulder injury after attending Yongma High School, immediately drew attention with his amazing fastball last year in his sophomore year.
He threw 149 km per hour in March, and took a whopping 156 km in the Blue Dragon in July, emerging as a 'special top prospect'.
[Jang Hyun-seok/Masan Yongmago Pitcher: The weather was so hot that I was a little tired.
(Pitching) I didn't know that the speed could reach that much.] This year, in my
third year, I will challenge 160km, which no one has ever reached in an official high school baseball game.
Previously, promising players famous for their fastballs, such as Kiwoom Jang Jae-young, Hanwha Moon Dong-ju and Kim Seo-hyun, and Pittsburgh pitcher Shim Jun-seok, have never been recorded in high school baseball.
[Jang Hyun-seok/Masan Yongmago Pitcher: In high school baseball, (redemption) has never been 160km, so I want to be the best.]
Big league scouts are noticing the rapid growth, so I set a higher goal.
Until last year, I said that my goal was to be the first pick in the KBO League rookie draft, but now I am dreaming of becoming a Major League player.
[Jang Hyun-seok/Masan Yongmago Pitcher: I want to go to professional baseball, but I also want to go to the major leagues in the United States.
Please support us a lot.]
