(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hyun-gu Jang = Hyun-jong Yang (33), a left-handed pitcher, 33, who wore a Texas Rangers uniform and played for the second time in a demonstration game in the US pro baseball game, showed satisfaction with the result.
On the 14th (Korean time), Yang Hyun-jong appeared at the end of the 5th inning against the Milwaukee Brewers 3-3 on the 14th (Korean time), striking out 3 in 2 innings and striking 1 hit with no loss.
In the match, which ended in a 4-4 draw in 7 innings, Yang Hyeon-jong was the only one out of four Texas pitchers to allow points.
In a video interview with US reporters after the game, Yang Hyun-jong said, “I think positively as I get better as I play all of the major league official ball adaptability, pitch balance, and the result of the match against batters.
However, Yang Hyun-jong added, “I climbed the mound with anxious mind because the balance of my body is not 100% yet.”

In his first appearance against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 8th, Yang Hyeon-jong threw 21 balls in one inning and allowed a home run, with two hits and one run.
On this day, the inning was finished with a total of 20 balls, including 10 in 5 reps and 10 in 6 reps.
Yang Hyun-jong said, “All the balls, including fast balls, sliders, and change-ups, are better than in the first pitch.” I think that the slider and the change-up went better,” he pointed out.
With regard to the use of the curve as a deciding ball, Yang Hyun-jong expressed his motivation, saying, “There are more powerful hitters than in Korea, so I have to throw a lot of them for sure.”
The catcher and power analysis team who received the ball from Yang Hyun-jong also appreciate his curve. Texas pitching coach Doug Mathis also advised Yonhap News that the curve should be raised.
Yang Hyun-jong said, “I want to throw more balls and increase my innings, but I haven’t yet received a schedule for the upcoming game,” he said. “After checking the condition on the 15th, we will discuss the pitching schedule with the pitching coach.”
