(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hyun-koo Jang = Hyun-jong Yang, 33, a left-handed pitcher, 33, who challenges the big leaguer in the Texas Rangers of the US professional baseball, hit a home run in his first demonstration game.
On the 8th (Korean time), Yang Hyeon-jong climbed to the mound as the team’s 5th pitcher in the first 8th inning, 4-2, in a demonstration game against the Los Angeles Dodgers held at Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Arizona, USA on the 8th (Korean time).
Yang Hyun-jong threw 21 balls in one inning, hitting two hits, including one home run, and gave him one point.
Yang Hyun-jong started a fresh start by turning right-hander Sheldon Neusie, the first batter, into a missed swing with a fast ball.
The follow-up Omar Esteves was caught with a floating ball in center field and quickly made a two-out.
However, he allowed right-hander DJ Peters to throw a flat ball in the middle of the ball count, 2 balls, 1 strike, and then a big home run that fell into the grass over the left fence.
Yang Hyun-jong threw a full strike at left-handed batter James Outman, but was shaken by a hit that fell in front of the right fielder.
The next batter Elliott Soto’s batting was almost a hit that fell between the left fielder and the shortstop as the bat broke, but shortstop Yoni Hernandez sprinted to save Yang Hyun-jong from the crisis.
Yang Hyeon-jong reaped an embarrassing save as the match, played in 8 innings, ended with Texas’ 4-3 victory.
Texas starting pitching candidate Mike Poltinevic and Korean Dane Dunning scored two innings side-by-side. Jordan Ryles also blocked one inning without a run.
