Will coach Lee Kang-chul have a 400-win commemorative ball or will he give it to a rookie player as old as his son.스포츠토토
KT Wiz won 6-2 against Kiwoom Heroes at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 4th and won three consecutive games.
Several slopes overlapped. Lee became the 16th 400th manager in the KBO history with the victory. This is a valuable record that was achieved only by one KT team.
Then, Yuk Cheong-myung, a high school graduate, gave Lee his 400th win. He pitched five innings, allowing one run, and was able to secure his first professional win after Yuk’s fourth attempt. Not only that, but Kim Geon-hyung, the son of Kim Ki-tae, recorded his first RBI as a professional player.
In the case of Kim Gun-hyung, he will be able to have a commemorative ball to get the hit ball back from the opponent.
Usually, however, the manager’s winning ball and the starting pitcher’s winning ball add meaning to the final ball at the end of the game.
As a result, either Lee or Yuk Cheong-myung will not be able to bring the commemorative ball. One can ask if the ball used appropriately during the game, for example, Yuk Cheong-myung’s last throw before he leaves the mound, should hit the ball, but this is also different for those involved.
The last out was a strikeout. Veteran catcher Jang Sung-woo couldn’t have known the meaning of the ball. And when he congratulated Lee on his 400th win, Jang himself handed the ball over.
After the game, Yuk Cheong-myung did not have a commemorative winning ball in his hand. Rookie players often hold the ball tightly when they have an interview after winning their first game. Yuk Cheong-myung expressed his expectation, saying, “The coach will take care of it.”
