Yang Hyun-jong (36, KIA Tigers) of the "Great Pitcher" predicted three ace players who will lead the next generation of Korean baseball. The main characters were left-hander Lee Eui-ri (22), who belongs to the same team, Kwak Bin (25), who plays for the Doosan Bears, and Koo Chang-mo (27), who serves in the military at Sangmu.
Yang Hyun-jong appeared on Yoon Seok-min's YouTube channel "Cyber Yoon Seok-min," which was released on the 28th and chatted with Yoon Seok-min.
Yoon Seok-min and Yang are in relationship with Kia Tigers. While Yoon, who is two years older than him, led the era of Ryu Yoon-Kim along with Kim Kwang-hyun and Ryu Hyun-jin from the mid- to late 2000s to the early 2010s, Yang represented the Korean baseball league as he was reborn as a major pitcher.
Yoon Seok-min asked Yang about his junior teammates who are likely to surpass him in the future. Without hesitation, Yang said, "His ball power is really good." Then Yoon Seok-min also said, "I think his ball power is better than when Yang Hyun-jong was in his prime."
"He is much better than me. He has excellent RPM and movement," Yang said. "Kwak Bin and Koo Chang-mo are also outstanding if other teams are included."
▶Lee Eui-ri, Kwak Bin, and Koo Chang-mo have recorded major career high season since their KBO League debut
Lee Eui-ri in the 2022 season, 10 wins and 10 losses with an ERA of 3.86 161 strikeouts in 154 innings
Kwak Bin in the 2024 season with 15 wins and 9 losses with a 4.24 154 strikeouts in 167.2 innings
Koo Chang-mo in the 2022 season 111.2 innings, 11 wins, 5 losses, 2.108 ERA, and 108 strikeouts
Yoon Seok-min said, "I have good ball control, but I have anxiety about my ball control. There is also a challenge to strike out with the bases loaded. I thought, "(Yang) Hyun-jong is on the same team, so wouldn't he give me a lot of advice? Wouldn't he be able to catch something worrisome?" But strangely, I was nervous about my ball control.
"Since (Lee's) ball power is so good, people have high expectations," Yang said. "But he is 22 years old now. But people around him seem to think, 'Why not?'" Yang said. "If you look at his ball power, you should win 20 games, so I look at him from the perspective of 'Why can't you win 20 games? You just have to wait. It will explode in a couple of years." 메이저놀이터
"(Kwak) Bin is the same. (Former) Chang-mo is sick, but when he recovers from the military, I think these three players will succeed Ryu Yoon-kim.
Meanwhile, Lee is preparing to return to the team mid-2025 season after undergoing elbow surgery. Kwak won the title of most wins in the 2024 season and is preparing for the 2025 season smoothly. Koo Chang-mo is sweating profusely at Sangmu.
