Yang Hyun-jong of Texas left a regret when he scored two runs in the first start of the demonstration game.

Virtually the final test stage for joining the opening game roster.
The start was good.
Yang Hyun-jong struck out and caught the ground ball against Cincinnati’s main hitters and handled the 1st inning smoothly.
Episode 2 was unfortunate.
He was beaten with 3 hits in a row and gave him a point.
Then he struck out to two outs, but the ground ball hitting doubled, resulting in an additional concession.
Still, it didn’t collapse further.
He hit the center hitting line again in the third inning and showed a sense of stability by handling three hitters in a row with a direct ball.
He threw one out in the 4th and ran 5 hits and 2 runs.
Although not satisfied, Hyunjong Yang, who confirmed his confidence, is now in a position waiting for the club’s opening game list to be announced.

“I think (the catcher) said that the movement wasn’t bad, so I played a game with confidence in a fastball. I would like to hear it (on the list), but shouldn’t I leave it to the coaching staff decision?”

“Yang Hyun-jong is a perfect relief pitcher who plays several innings. Of course, he is a player who can do anything, such as a starting assistant.”
Kim Ha-sung, who started in left field for the first time, recorded two consecutive hits.
