Samsung Lions pitcher Yang Chang-seop was very determined ahead of the practice game against the Nippon Ham Fighters on the 9th. This is because he wanted to wash away the regrets of his sluggish performance against the Yomiuri Giants four years ago.
On February 16, 2019, Yang Chang-seop started in a practice game against the Yomiuri Giants at Cellular Stadium in Naha, Okinawa, Japan. He allowed 8 runs with 9 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 1 strikeout, and 3 innings. Yang Chang-seop passed the mound to Jeong In-wook in the 4th inning. He hit the speed gun up to 143 km fastball and recorded an average velocity of 138 km.
He pitched relatively well against the Nippon Ham, although he wasn’t 100% happy with it. After starter Heo Yun-dong (2 innings, 3 hits, 1 walk, 2 runs), he climbed the mound as the second pitcher in the 3rd inning, trailing 0-2, and did his part with 3 hits, 1 walk, 1 strikeout and 1 run in 2 innings.
Yang Chang-seop gave an infield hit to the lead batter in the 3rd inning, but caught it as a checker. Soon after, he allowed the next batter to walk, but ended the inning by inducing the second batter to double-stroke. He was hit in a row after two outs in the fourth inning and gave up one run. Yang Chang-seop passed the baton to left-hander Park Se-woong in the 5th inning.
Yang Chang-seop said in an interview with the club’s official YouTube channel ‘Lions TV’ after the game, “It’s not good against Yomiuri, so I’ve been playing with the Japanese team for the first time in a while, and I wanted to do better than then.” that,” he said.
He continued, “It was the best when I caught the checker.
On this day, Samsung lost to Nippon Ham 0-3. Park Se-woong, Kim Si-hyun, Hong Jeong-woo, and left-hander Lee Seung-hyun collaborated for 4 scoreless innings. Meanwhile, on the 11th, Samsung invites the Chunichi Dragons home for their second practice game. 메이저사이트
