Yang Eui-ji (age 36), who has gone through all kinds of prenatal battles, was also experiencing it for the first time. Yang Eui-ji, who hit a home run after 1651 days as a Doosan player, was embarrassed by the indifferent ceremony that caught the juniors off guard.
On the 20th, Yang Eui-ji started as the designated hitter in the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 20th, and led Doosan to a 5-1 victory by performing on 3 bases with 1 hit in 3 at-bats, 2 RBIs, 1 walk, and 1 walk.
Jo Soo-haeng’s two-run home run succeeded in turning the score 2-1, and Yang Eui-ji’s first home run of the season hit in the third inning. In the 1st base, which led to Yang Chan-yeol’s heavy hit, Hanwha starting pitcher Kim Min-woo’s 135km forkball, which fell low in the middle of the 4th pitch, was indifferently knocked over the left fence. Distance 120m, season 1 beastly home run. It was a wedge that opened the score to 4-1.
As a Doosan player, I tasted a home run for the first time in a long time. It is only 1651 days (4 years, 6 months and 7 days) since the match against Jamsil NC on October 12, 2018 that Yang Eui-ji hit a home run for Doosan.
Yang Eui-ji happily ran around the bases and entered the dugout. However, his fellow players did not welcome Yang Eui-ui and turned away. Only senior Kim Jae-ho and catcher Jang Seung-hyun held out their hands and congratulated them lightly. Yang Eui-ji also burst into laughter at the silent ceremony commemorating his first home run back to Doosan. He even threw a fist at foreign pitcher Raul Alcantara, who had been ignoring him as if he was embarrassed.
It is a kind of declaration ceremony as a ‘Silent Treatment’ given to players who hit their first home run in the major leagues. Usually rookie players are the target of this ceremony. In the KBO League, you can often see foreign players as well. It doesn’t work well for veteran players like Yang Eui-ji. Alcantara also laughed, saying, “I don’t do that to veteran players, but it was difficult to hold back my laughter.”
Yang Eui-ji gave himself a high-five in the air as if nothing had happened, and he was delighted as he drew a V with both hands while looking at the camera. After the game, Yang Eui-ji said, “I was embarrassed because it was the first time I personally experienced a silence ceremony. After confessing, “After the silence was over, everyone congratulated me sincerely.”
It was the first home run in 16 games of the season, so it was a long-awaited hit. Yang Eui-ji said, “His first home run came late and I was a little burdened,스포츠토토 but it is fortunate. I think I can play more concisely now.”
Yang Eui-ji, who returned to Doosan after last year’s season with a free agency contract worth up to 6 years and a total of 15.2 billion won, played 16 games with a batting average of . 481 OPS of .933, he is doing well for his best ransom.
Yang Eui-ji, who also participated in three games as a designated hitter, relieved the burden of defense and also received stamina arrangements, said, “I manage really well in the training part. He doesn’t have a problem with playing games at all. He wants to play catcher often unless he has a physical problem. It will also help improve performance,” he said confidently.
