In the game against the Samsung Lions in Pohang on the 21st, Kim Taek-yeon took the mound after two outs in the ninth inning when she was leading 5-2 and kept the victory by allowing one hit and no run in one inning. Kim Taek-yeon, who made 16 saves this season, matched the record of 16 saves set by Na Seung-hyun (former Lotte Giants) in 2006. In addition, Kim Taek-yeon was 19 years, 2 months, and 18 days, the youngest ever save against the former club.
Kim Taek-yeon, who made her first professional debut save in a game against SSG Landers on May 21, has been a full-fledged finalist for Doosan since June. If this pace continues, Kim Taek-yeon can also break the record of the youngest 20 saves (20 years and 23 days) held by Jung Hae-young. Kim Taek-yeon made 10 saves as the youngest rookie on July 23 at the age of 19 years, 1 month and 20 days.
Thanks to her stellar performance, she is leading the competition for the Rookie of the Year award. No one would disagree that she is the 0th place winner of the Rookie of the Year award. With an ERA of 1.98 this season, she is the lowest among relief pitchers who played in more than 50 innings. She also had 68 strikeouts, which is the highest among relief pitchers who have made 10 or more saves. Although there are only 23 games left, she may be able to break the record of the most saves (28) by Cho Yong-joon (then of Hyundai Unicorns), a college graduate, in 2002. When she was told that she was the 0th place winner of the Rookie of the Year award, Kim said, “I don’t care. I’m glad that I can keep my team’s victory at the end.”
Yang Eui-ji (Doosan), a former member of the national team, praised Kim Taek-yeon’s ball, saying, “It’s second best to Dustin Nippert and Oh Seung-hwan among the balls I’ve received so far,” adding, “It’s comparable to KBO League legends.”
Meanwhile, the game between Doosan and Samsung, which was scheduled to be held in Pohang on Tuesday, was canceled due to heat wave. This is the fourth time this season that the game has been canceled. “The temperature of the ground soared to over 50 degrees due to radiation wave, and the game management committee has decided to cancel the game,” the KBO secretariat said.
