(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Chang-yong = Yang Hyun-jong (33, Texas Rangers) left a regrettable result in the first start of the US Pro Baseball Major League (MLB) demonstration game.
On the 25th (Korean time), Yang Hyun-jong started in a demonstration game against the Cincinnati Reds held at Goodyear Ball Park in Goodyear, Arizona, USA on the 25th. He struck out 2 strikeouts without walking.
This is a disappointing result for Yang Hyun-jong, who aims to enter the opening game entry.
Texas coach Chris Woodward said before the match, “It will be the most important day for evaluating Yang Hyun-jong.”
In an important test that can determine whether to enter the opening game as well as the first starting position, Yang Hyun-jong did not show as much power as the previous one.
Yang Hyun-jong’s average ERA in the demonstration game rose from 3.00 to 3.86.
At the end of the first inning, Yang Hyun-jong started off with Cincinnati lead batter D Strange-Gordon as a left fielder.
He then gave Nicholas Castellanos a heavy hit, but led Mike Mustacus to the third baseman’s ground ball and caught the runner at second.
Yang Hyun-jong ended the inning without a run-off after catching 4th batter Euhenio Suarez with a missed swing in the continued 2nd first base.
In the beginning of the second inning, Texas scored three points with two doubles and two walks and pulled the Cincinnati starter off the mound.
As the team attack progressed for a long time, it may be because the shoulders were cold, and Yang Hyun-jong allowed concentrated hits at the end of the second inning.
Leading batter Tucker Vanhart was caught with a ground ball at shortstop but allowed Tyler Stevenson to hit heavy and Tyler Nakin to left double.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who was driven to the second and third base of the company, gave Aristides Aquino one point with a right-handed hit, and the crisis of first and third base continued.
Yang Hyun-jong seemed to take a sigh as he struck out Alex Blendino with a foul tip, but gave Strange-Gordon a double that ran through the side of the first baseman to the right wing.
Third base runner Nakin stepped on the groove with a leisurely pace. First base runner Aquino was aiming for a home, but right fielder Joey Carlo’s correct throw made it out of home and the inning ended.
Yang Hyeon-jong regained his calm at the end of the 3rd inning. Castellanos, Mustacus, and Suarez were all guided to the infield ground and blocked with a tripartite.
At the end of the 4th inning, Yang Hyung-jong finished his mission by handing the mound to Brett The Gus after knocking out the lead batter Van Hart out with a ground ball for second baseman.
Yang Hyun-jong signed a split contract with Texas last month (a contract with a different salary when in the major and minor leagues) and joined Spring Camp as an invited player.
Yang Hyeon-jong, who had only appeared in three games as a relief pitcher in the demonstration game so far, finally got a chance to start.
However, Yang Hyeon-jong was shaken in the most important test. Even entering the opening game entry could not be guaranteed.
