The 2023 Season Is Full Of Great Records
Yang Hyun-jong is looking at the introduction of the milestone (170 innings for 9 consecutive seasons) carved on the electronic display.
The 2023 season also saw a lot of great records. The Korean national baseball players proved their presence, and the new players who will lead the new era also made meaningful milestones.
"Great pitcher" Yang Hyun-jong (KIA Tigers) started in the final home game against the NC Dinos of the 2023 KBO League at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 17th and led his team KIA to a 7-1 complete victory with five hits and one run in seven innings.
KIA has already failed to advance to the postseason, but Yang Hyun-jong took the mound for fans in the final home game of the 2023 season. Above all, it was an opportunity to extend the record of exceeding 170 innings in a single season that has continued for the past eight seasons. He had accumulated 164 innings until the previous day (16th), and achieved his goal by completing seven innings, extending this record. It was the first time in KBO League history.
NC ace Eric Peddy, nicknamed "ecosystem disturbance species," pitched six scoreless innings against the Hanwha Eagles at Changwon NC Park on the 10th, leading NC to a 2-0 victory and achieving his 20th win (6 losses) this season. He struck out one by one in the first and second innings of the game, surpassing 200 strikeouts this season.
Peddy became the first pitcher to achieve 20 wins-200 strikeouts in 37 years following Sun Dong-yeol (former national team coach) in 1996. It was the fifth record ever. Peddy won three gold medals in the regular season, which ended on the 17th, ranking first in the categories of multiple wins (20), ERA (2.00), and strikeouts (209).
Oh Seung-hwan, the "final king," also set an unprecedented record. On the 14th, when the final home game was held, his team, the Samsung Lions, took the mound after two outs in the top of the eighth inning with a 4-3 lead and saved 1 1/3 innings without losing a point. He induced a grounder to first base against "the same age" Choo Shin-soo as his first batter in the mound, and in the ninth inning, he gave up two walks and seemed to be shaking, but he completed the task by dealing with Guillermo Heredia and Park Sung-han as poor batting.

It was Oh's 400th career save. Even after playing on the Japanese and American stages from the 2014 season to the 2019 season, he achieved a milestone that was difficult to come back. Son Seung-rak (current KIA Tigers second-tier coach) has 271 saves in the KBO League. The current record among players in their 20s is LG Twins closure Ko Woo-suk, who has recorded 139. 스포츠토토
Veteran bullpen pitcher Jung Woo-ram of the Hanwha Eagles also set a record of taking the mound in 1,000 games for the first time in history against NC on the 2nd. Debuting in April 2004, he served as a setup man and a closer for 18 seasons in the KBO League, leaving his career with 197 saves and 145 holds. Ryu Taek-hyun (retired) has played 901 games in his career. LG's Jin Hae-soo took the second place as an active pitcher 788 times. Jung Woo-ram's record is also unlikely to be broken for the time being.
KIA veteran hitter Choi Hyung-woo hit a two-run home run in the top of the fourth inning against Hanwha on June 20, surpassing 1,500 RBIs for the first time ever. SSG Choi also scored 1356 points against Hanwha on September 6, rising to the top of the list.
Young players also made meaningful records. Moon Dong-joo, a two-year Hanwha right-hander, hit a 160.1km/h fastball against Park Chan-ho in the bottom of the first inning against Gwangju KIA on April 12. The ball was the highest speed ever by a Korean player.
Ahn Woo-jin (Kium), who is currently considered the league's No. 1 pitcher, struck out Park Gye-beom, Yang Eui-ji, and Yang Seok-hwan with three pitches in the top of the fifth inning against the Doosan Bears on May 18. It was the 14th time in history that he struck out three batters in a row. This season, rookies Moon Hyun-bin (Hanwha) and Kim Min-seok (Lotte) achieved triple-digit hits for high school graduates for the seventh and eighth time ever.
Yomiuri 99.9-mile Fireballer Equipped…Ramos to NPB
Yuri Ramos, who signed with the prestigious Yomiuri Giants in the Japanese professional baseball league, was in the Chicago Cubs minor league.
Fireballer Yuri Ramos (26) from the Dominican Republic will advance to the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).
NPB's prestigious Yomiuri Giants club announced on the 17th that it has signed a training player contract with Ramos. Ramos said through the club, "I'm very happy to be able to join a historic club called the Giants. I will show my fans my best and try to contribute to the team's victory in the future, he said. "I thank the club officials and staff for giving me this opportunity." Ramos's back number is 057.
Ramos has gained experience in the Chicago Cubs Minor League since 2015. Until last year, he pitched in 107 games in the minor leagues (7 years) and recorded 7 wins, 16 losses, and 7 saves with a 5.21 ERA. As a professional bullpen resource, he recorded 6 wins, 1 loss, 2 saves, and a 3.71 ERA in the Mexican League this season. In the Cubs Minor League Double A last year, he also stood out with a 0.56 ERA in 12 games.
Yomiuri's expectations are high as it is known to have recorded a fastball of up to 99.9 miles (160.8 km/h) this season. The case of Christopher Mercedes (currently Chiba Lotte Marines), who recruited him as a nurturing player and grew into a key resource, is a good example. 스포츠토토
Daegu coach Choi Won-kwon "First 3 consecutive wins!
Daegu coach Choi Won-kwon said, "First 3 consecutive wins X 4th place, I'm proud of my players X fans ""I gained strength to endure Final A."
Choi Won-kwon, head coach of Daegu FC, ranked fourth in the K League 1, thanked the players after a thrilling theater win and the first three consecutive wins of the season.
Daegu won 1-0 thanks to Vascellus' theater goal in the second half of the extra time amid a 10-11 numerical inferiority in the 30th round of the 2023 Hana One-Q K League 1 at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on the 17th.
With only four games left before the split round, including the match, each game is a thin ice match for middle and upper teams except for "second-tier" Ulsan and Pohang. On the same day, third-place Gwangju beat fourth-place Seoul 1-0 with 48 points, while Incheon took Jeju (35 points) the previous day and came in sixth with 43 points, pushing Daegu (41 points) to seventh place. Fourth to sixth place Seoul, Jeonbuk, and Incheon formed a "43-point group" side by side. If Daegu catches the lowest Suwon Samsung, it was a chance to reach a surprise fourth place with 44 points, which would be a watershed for the great war.
While Cesinha failed to play due to a rib fracture and could not find a clue to the attack, Daegu midfielder Beltola, who hit Suwon striker Werik Popo with his elbow in the 10th minute of the second half, received a red card, putting Daegu in crisis.
Daegu did not give up until the end amid the 10-11 numerical inferiority and the cheering waves of Daegu away fans. In the extra time of the second half of 12 minutes, Daegu overwhelmed Suwon with a numerical advantage. And finally, the shot that Vascellus pushed desperately by peeling off Suwon's defense from the side split the net. Daegu wrote a drama. Without Cesinha, he won his first three consecutive games of the season with his tireless fighting spirit in the worst situation of "outfield inferiority." He scored three points in the away game and scored 44 points. After Ulsan, Pohang, and Seoul, it stood tall in fourth place in the league.
In an interview after the game, head coach Choi Won-kwon expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am proud of our players for their fighting spirit until the end." Regarding the impact of three points created by fighting spirit amid numerical inferiority, he replied, "I have gained the power to endure." "It is important for our team to score goals without losing a point. "As I always say, I prefer a 1-0 victory to a 4-3 victory," he said with a smile. The next game is Pohang. Each game is the final to Final A. As our players received the power to hold out through this game, we gained confidence that we can play well against Pohang. It was a big harvest," he said. Below is the full text of Choi Won-kwon's post-match press conference.
-How do you feel about the game
I am proud of our players who showed their fighting spirit to the end with Beltola being sent off. I thought there would be difficulties in playing due to Cesinha's absence, but I thought Edgar and Vacelus' strengths could also be revived. Scores came out, and coaches taking good care of the players during the class in Spain to get a P-class leadership certificate helped them win without changing until the end. I didn't do anything and the players did it.
-Reason for putting Lee Yong-rae except Park Se-jin in the numerical inferiority without Beltola
First of all, it will be a difficult game without one person. Against veteran players such as Ko Seung-beom, Kim Bo-kyung, and Kazuki, I thought (Lee) Yong-rae would be empirically better. If you let him go to the stadium, he'll just trust him. Our coaches have a good grasp of the strengths of the players. It's a team that focuses on blocking well, and that worked well today.
- Meaning of the first three consecutive wins, the impact on the remaining three games until the split league.
I gained the strength to endure. It is important for our team to score goals without losing a point. As I always say, I prefer a 1-0 win to a 4-3 win. The next game is Pohang. Each game is the final to Final A. As our players got the strength to hold out through this game, Pohang is always a team that plays well, but we gained confidence that we can also play well against it. It was a big harvest.
- What did you talk about when you hugged the coach after Vascellus scored a goal.
You had the hardest time. He is a player who always wants to score goals and assist. He hasn't scored in a few games, but he believed it. He came running to me and hugged me. He came and hugged me.(laughs) It must have been confidence that he did something. Vascellus has a very good training attitude. He's really sincere. Train like a second-tier player. I hope you can score consecutive goals from this goal.
- The coaches said they took good care of the players, but what exactly is it.
Our basic play doesn't change. Today, Edgar went in and didn't put forward pressure. Since it was an away game, Suwon seemed to come out aggressively, so I waited and sought a counterattack. Coaches frequently reported while in Spain. It was hard because I called so often even though there was no time difference.(Laughter) When I'm on the playground, the players are nervous, but I think it's more advantageous to be with the coaches and train in a good atmosphere.
- Despite the numerical advantage, Suwon Samsung felt worse than Daegu.
That's the strength of our team. It doesn't just play defense. 70-80% of training time is devoted to defensive tactics. It values individual abilities with simple patterns. Our players defended well by selecting only the advantages of Lee Ki-je, Mulich, and Kazuki. Well blocked what Suwon is good at. It's not that Suwon didn't do well today, but I think we played Daegu soccer much better.
Beltula will fall out.
Jin Yong has been to the national team. I gave you a break, so you'll have a lot of strength. There's also Yongrae. Pohang is the team that plays their soccer no matter which team they meet. I'm going to refine our counterattack. Beltola and Cesinha are missing, but we will find advantages in our resources.
- Why did Daegu play better in extra time amid a 10-to-11 numerical inferiority.
I do a lot of counterattack training. It doesn't matter if it's five minutes or 90 minutes. You have to trust the cells and run. We believe in the cells. What Vascellus dictates is 'talking a lot. The referee gave me an excuse, so I said I didn't like it. I asked him to show me with his actions,' and he scored with his actions. Thank you. Our players did a good job. The result was that he worked really hard in training and worked harder even if there were some shortcomings.
- Choi Young-eun said that desperate players such as Kim Kang-san and Jang Sung-won participated, what was the evaluation? 먹튀검증
You did a great job. There were some concerns, but I wasn't worried at all. I believed it 100%. Hwang Jae-won and Cho Jin-woo did well and failed to send these players to the game, but I don't think these players are insufficient. Our three-backs have suffered a lot, so I plan to use Kim Kang-san often. I will manage the players wisely.
- Vascellus scored really calmly in extra time in the second half.
Maybe the defense came after him in a hurry and hit him in a hurry.(laughs) He's a player with strengths. Trust and let go of the players when they go to the playground. Above all, I think our players would have played until the end thanks to the fans' loud voices and support. I trust all of our players 100%.
"Shocking defeat in Qatar." Hwang Sun-hong, even to Myanmar?
Attention is focusing on whether Hwang Sun-hong, who was shocked by Qatar, will be able to quell anxiety about his performance with a hot attack in a home game against Myanmar on the 12th.
The U22 national soccer team, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, will host the third Group B match against Myanmar at the Changwon Football Center in Gyeongnam at 8 p.m. on the same day.
South Korea will be ranked first in the group even if it draws with Myanmar, confirming its advance to the U23 Asian Cup finals, the final qualifying round for the 2024 Paris Olympics in Asia. South Korea has not lost to Myanmar since the 1970s.Hwang Sun-hong, who aimed for a turnaround in the match against Kyrgyzstan after losing 0-2 to Qatar in the first leg on the 6th, won 1-0, but left a disappointment with the frustrating content of the game. 토토사이트
After scoring quickly in the early first half, the flow of the attack was cut off due to a pass miss or the ball was not distributed smoothly to the front-line attack area.
In the match against Myanmar, which is classified as a "weak," it is expected to pressure the opponent by leading the game, but if the defense is in a hurry or if there is an incomplete play during the build-up process, a "red light" could also be turned on to secure tickets to the Paris Olympics.In the U23 Asian Cup finals to be held from April to May next year, they must be in the final three to qualify for the Olympics. It is also burdensome for South Korea that Qatar, the host country of the finals, has emerged as an ambush amid traditional powerhouses such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, including Japan, which have been on the rise recently. Qatar beat South Korea in the Asian Cup qualifying round and showed great firepower with a 6-0 victory over Myanmar.
Although his concentration has been somewhat dispersed due to his training for the Hangzhou Asian Games national team, Hwang has the task of catching two rabbits: "content" and "result" in the final match of the U23 Asian Cup qualifying round.
Coach Hwang said at a press conference on the 5th, "As it is a game played at home, we are preparing to advance to the finals as well as play good games and win every time," adding, "We will repay you with the results."
Myanmar coach Aung Naing said at the time, "The call-up period was short, but I am well prepared by participating in regional competitions and gaining experience."
Coach Wi Sang-woo, who scolded Park Ji-hyun, now confidently says,Focus on women’s basketball
Coach Wi Sang-woo, who scolded Park Ji-hyun, now confidently says,“Focus on women’s basketball”
"Park Ji-hyun has grown a lot. Now I feel that I have become the center of women's basketball."
Wi Sung-woo (52), head coach of Asan Woori Bank, is an honest leader. Speak honestly and reprimand the players for their mistakes. However, if there is something that needs to be praised, it is a style that makes sure to point it out.
Director Wi Sung-woo of "Honest Man" gave Park Ji-hyun a storm of praise. He had scolded Park Ji-hyun countless times before. Park Ji-hyun has attracted attention as a "super rookie" since joining the pro league. However, coach Wi Sung-woo called for growth, pointing out the shortcomings of each play. Once, director Wi Sung-woo said to Park Ji-hyun, "I don't think I know what's what yet."
But now things have changed. Coach Wi Sung-woo proudly said, "Park Ji-hyun is the center of women's basketball." After the 2023 Park Shin-ja Cup final on the 3rd, head coach Wi Sung-woo said, "I think Park Ji-hyun is the biggest income of this tournament. I feel like I've grown a lot. There are still parts to scold and refine for doing wrong, but I felt that Park Ji-hyun has become the center of women's basketball. "I did quite well in off-season training, but it continued in the Park Shin-ja Cup," he praised.
Director Wi Sung-woo also said, "Park Ji-hyun may have difficulties, but she grows through those things." When I was young, I ran without knowing it, but now I run while controlling strength and weakness. He's grown up. "Now as a coach, as a leader, I feel quite rewarded," he added.
In fact, Park Ji-hyun was one of the best stars in the Park Shin-ja Cup. Woori Bank lost to Japan's prestigious Toyota Antelope 65-72 in the final and finished second, but Park Ji-hyun had 15 points and 8 rebounds. In the semifinals, he scored 18 points against Japanese champion Eneos Sunflower. Park Ji-hyun scored more than 26 points on average in the group qualifying round. It was unstoppable.
Even Eneos coach Hidenori Kashiwakura picked Park Ji-hyun and Kim Dan-bi (Woori Bank) as the most impressive players in the tournament. 스포츠토토
Park Ji-hyun has a lot to do for the new season. You have to help 'Ace' Kim Dan-bi to lead the team. Woori Bank left veteran Kim Jong-un (Bucheon Hana One-Q), creating a vacuum. Park Ji-hyun's shoulders also became heavy.
"10 years senior" Kim Dan-bi is also thankful for Park Ji-hyun. Even though he plays an important role at a young age, he is only commendable for silently following him. Kim Dan-bi said, "I rely on Park Ji-hyun a lot," adding, "It is comfortable to have Park Ji-hyun." I feel better from the side than last season. Woori Bank does not train much against Park Ji-hyun, but the national team does a lot of matchups. I think it's a good thing that Park Ji-hyun came to Woori Bank every time he attacked. "If it were another team, I should have stopped that player..." he said with sincerity.
Park Ji-hyun was also selected for the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games national team. The South Korean women's basketball team, led by head coach Jung Sun-min, failed to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics by finishing fifth at the Asian Cup in June. He aims to restore his pride in this Asian Games. Park Ji-hyun has a lot to do.
Park Ji-hyun, who gained strong strength as a "compliment from director Wi Sung-woo," said, "I think it's the best compliment. I won't just listen to director Wi Sung-woo's advice, but I'll be motivated. "I want to be a player who wants to repay you," he stressed.
