It was an unforgettable day for him as he started the game for the first time in his three years as a pro. He played at least one at-bat last year, but he played in the middle of the game. Due to injuries he held back every year, he had no chance to display his potential to fans. Coach Lee Bum-ho immediately called up Yoon when he won the regular season title. He wanted to display his talents to his fullest.
He stepped up as the second batter and third baseman. When leadoff Kim Do-young hit his 38th homer to the middle of the first inning, he hit a clean hit to the center field as the next batter. It was his first hit in three years. In the third inning, when Kim got on base with a right-handed hit after two outs, he got on base with an infield hit to the shortstop. In the fifth inning, when Kim got on base with a walk, he hit a timely hit to post his first RBI.
After the game, he said, “It was my first time (in front of the packed audience) and the fans were looking forward to it, so I just thought about repaying it. I asked him to hit one hit without being greedy, but the result was good. I was also excited because Doyoung hit a home run in his first at-bat. I was able to concentrate on Doyoung’s cheering song,” and gave the ball to my friend.
On Kim Do-young’s monster performance, he said, “As a friend, you are amazing. I thought I would go up fast and show good performance. Thanks to DOYOUNG, I thought he would be a strength to me as well. When I was appointed as the starting lineup No. 1 and No. 2, I told him, “Let’s make a drawing.” He said, “Let’s hug each other when we hit a home run.”
He also expressed his special gratitude to his fans and coach Lee Bum-ho. “I rehabilitated with the mindset of returning within this year as much as possible. It was a shame that I didn’t improve as I could in the second division. I came to the first division because my fans showed a lot of expectations and support. It is an honor and I am grateful that the coach sent me to the second round with the starting position. I just thought about repaying the fans and the coach,” he said.
Finally, he expressed his strong will to win the Korean Series. “I was fortunate to have had three hits today, but the quality of the hit I wanted was not at all. I was lucky. I had a good chance to get a hit. pinch-runner, pinch-hitter, and defense are all possible. It’s not a few games, but I will have a chance to win the Korean Series if I show 100 percent of what I have,” he said.
