Yang Hyeon-jong (33, Texas), who is competing for survival in the MLB roster, threw’hope’.

On the 20th, Yang Hyun-jong appeared in a demonstration game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch, Arizona, USA, and recorded 3 innings, 3 hits, 4 strikeouts, and 1 run. 37 pitches. The average ERA in the demonstration game was maintained at 3.00 before the game.

On the same day, Yang Hyun-jong made the end of the 5th inning, following Kyle Cody (2⅓ innings, 8 hits and 5 runs), Lewis Otis (⅔ innings, 1 hit, and 1 run), and Hunter Wood (1 inning, 2 hits and 1 run), followed by 0-6.

Yang Hyeon-jong, who captured the first batter Jack McKinstrley and DJ Peters with a continuous ground ball, guided Elliot Soto to the first baseman flying ball and defeated him as a triple. At the end of the 6th episode, it was shaken. The lead hitter Rangel Ravello hit left, and Sheldon Noyce struck out and sighed, but he allowed Andy Burns to double, leading to a 1st 2nd and 3rd base crisis. Then Ravello scored with Austin Barnes’ heavy hitting. He struck out Matt Davidson and didn’t make any further runs.

Episode 7 was close to perfection. After striking McKinstley and grounding Peters, even Soto struck out a missed swing. Coach Chris Woodward set Matt Bush on the mound, excluding Hyunjong Yang from the eighth inning.

On the 8th, Yang Hyun-jong was sluggish with two hits (one home run) in one inning and one run against the Dodgers on the 8th. He exposed anxiety at the first start of the demonstration game, but immediately got on track. On the 14th, after losing 1 hit in 2 innings against Milwaukee on the 14th, Woodward’s eye stamp was taken with a 3 inning pitch against Texas.
