Left-handed pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong (33, Texas Rangers) allowed a home run in the first appearance of the American Professional Baseball (MLB) demonstration game, but received good reviews for his veteran-like stability.
Yang Hyun-jong climbed the mound with the 5th pitcher of the team in the beginning of the 8th inning 4-2 in a demonstration game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Surprise, Arizona, USA on the 8th (Korean time), and scored 2 hits (including home runs) 1 run in 1 inning. 1 Own score) and 1 strikeout. It was a disappointing scene that he gave a solo home run to the Dodgers prospect DJ Peters after catching two out counts with 10 balls. He was hit by a follow-up batter, but ended the inning at shortstop.
Texas coach Chris Woodward said, “The home run was the only fault,” and said, “Yang Hyun-jong’s efforts to maintain his composure by collecting emotions in his first real match were noticeable.” Yang Hyun-jong said, “It was a heart fluttering rather than a sense of tension.” Since I have to compete for the next three weeks, I will show a better appearance every time I start.”
Ha-seong Kim (26, San Diego Padres) played as a shortstop with a batter twice in the match against the Kansas City Royals, and showed a perfect defense by tying up a double play. Kim Ha-seong, who was replaced during the defense in the first sixth inning, struck out a series of bats and struck out two at-bats (two hits in 13 at-bats in the demonstration game).
