“Small but heartwarming” view of foreign hitters and catchers

A warm view was captured in the match between Kia and Doosan of the 2022 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the afternoon of the 11th, the Chuseok holiday.

At the bottom of the first inning, leadoff hitter Jung Soo-bin hit against KIA starter Yang Hon-jong and went to first base. No. 2 designated hitter Fernandez entered the batter’s box.

Fernandez hit Yang Hyun-jong three consecutive fouls. Yang Hyun-jong, who had an advantageous count, threw a low slider of 130 kilometers to strike out Fernandez or ground out.

Yang Hyun-jong’s pitch bounced one-bound in front of Fernandez. Catcher Han Seung-hyuk blocked, but the ball rolled in the direction of first base. Jung Soo-bin, a fast runner on first base, ran out looking at Han Seung-hyuk’s first base conscious. At that moment, the catcher’s mask and helmet fell to the ground. 토토사이트

Doosan Fernandez, who was at bat, picked up Han Seung-hyuk’s catcher mask. He rubbed several times on his uniform and shook the dirt off Han Seung-hyuk’s catcher mask.

Han Seung-hyuk, who picked up the catcher Marks wiped by Fernandez, looked at Fernandez with a pleasant smile. There are often cases where a catcher mask that fell to the ground is picked up and delivered to the catcher, but there were few cases where he carefully shook off the soil.

Recently, more and more players are injured in home clashes. In that sense, the small consideration of the catcher and the batter for each other made the audience smile.

In the game, Doosan came from behind to win 6-3 against Kia and laughed in the final game of the Chuseok holiday.

Doosan starter Brandon Waddell allowed five hits, four strikeouts, and four walks in five innings, but Kim Myung-shin, Jung Chul-won and Hong Gun-hee pitched hard to keep the victory. In the at-bat, Jung Soo-bin led the victory with four hits in five at-bats, Huh Kyung-min with two hits in four at-bats, and Yang Seok-hwan’s tie-breaking home run.

KIA starter Yang Hyun-jong achieved 1,800 strikeouts in his personal history, but he became a losing pitcher with 10 hits, 4 strikeouts, and 4 runs in 6 innings.
