After the opening of the 2024-2025 season, who was the NBA’s most decorated player for the past week? Jumpball prepared the time to select the hottest player of the week, one each from the East/West Conference. (As of Dec. 2)

The 2024-2025 Season of Tray Young

Average 35.8 minutes played 21.4 points 12.1 assists 3.7 rebounds
Fielding rate 39.1% 3-point shooting success rate 32.7%
Fielding Low, Fielding Low, Fielding City Lowest Since Debut Season (Average 16.4)
1st overall in average assist league, career high in assist
1st in the league in potential assist attempts (20.9 times)

Atlanta Hawks: No. 7 Eastern Conference

The Atlanta Hawks rallied from two consecutive games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the top-ranked team in the Eastern Conference. And at the center of the game was Trae Young.

Young’s style of play has significantly changed this season. Despite the ups and downs of fieldwork, he saved his teammates to play without trying too hard. As a result, he achieved career high in individual assists and No. 1 overall assist in the league at the same time. Although it is still early days of the season, he proved how powerful “Help Young” is in that he beat Nikola Jokic, the top professional in the field, in second place.

The percentage of players using their hands to calculate the percentage of offense being completed has also sharply decreased to 26.3% this season (31.3% in the last three seasons). This is similar to Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors. Instead, thanks to Young focusing on the flow of the ball, the Atlanta Hawks boast a uniform scoring capacity, with half of the roster scoring double digits. Of course, there is still a challenge to increase Young’s individual efficiency in order for the team to go to a higher level, but considering the effect that Young’s assist has on the team, this is a significant growing pain.

2024-2025 Atlanta Hawks season:
4th place in the 토토사이트 꽁머니 Average Team Assistance League (29.8) / 2nd place in the Average Team Steel League (9.9)
2nd place in the game face league (104.4) / 5th place in the league (91.5) for average fieldwork per game

Atlanta chose Dyson Daniels as Young’s partner, who has major weaknesses in defense. Daniels, who came from the New Orleans Pelicans through a trade, immediately ranked first in the league with an average of 3.0 steals after becoming a starting member. Daniels, who combined with 13.5 points per game, displayed the qualities of the NBA’s best defender in the future, and at the same time succeeded in coexisting with Young, whose predecessor DeJonte Murray also failed.

Atlanta, which has many promising players besides Daniels, has a simple game concept. It is a repetition of “handling -> exploiting the offensive power -> trying many field battles.” With the exception of Young, this may seem like an inevitable option due to the lack of clear handlers, but Coach Quinn Snyder emphasizes the flow of ball to young players. Instead of obsessing over sophisticated fieldwork, he focused on creating quick and reliable opportunities. As a result, Atlanta has transformed itself into a team that is both threatening and selfless to its opponents. As expected, there is nothing better than clear and simple instructions for a young team.

Atlanta has had a lot of trial and error coming this far, but the result is still close to positive. With promising players growing up with a clear core of Young, Atlanta is steadily moving toward a bigger goal.

De’Aaron Parks’ 2024-2025 Season

Average 37.8 minutes played 27.7 points 5.8 assists 5.0 rebounds 1.6 steals
Field shooting rate 49.9% and 3-point shooting success rate 33.9%
9th in NBA scoring rankings
Time to play and score career high
Number of free throws and success, success rate Career High (average 6.9 wins, 5.5 successes, success rate 80.3%)

Sacramento Kings: 12th place in the Western Conference

Aside from the Sacramento Kings’ poor team performance, De’Aaron Parks is having his busiest and hottest season since his debut. First of all, he engraved his name on the Sacramento team’s most points scored.

After exploding with 60 points and 7 assists against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Nov. 15, Foxx, who met Utah Jazz as a back-to-back, led his tired body to add 49 points and 9 assists, becoming the first Kings player to score as many as 109 points during a back-to-back schedule (Previous record: DeMarcus Cousins – 104 points). The only NBA player to score more than this is the late Kobe Bryant, who scored 111 points in two days.

Pax’s scoring ability this season has been remarkable. He has achieved a career high in scoring, even though his team’s offense is not dependent on him. In particular, Pax is the team’s most powerful and seventh-ranked clutch scorer in the NBA, with an average of 4.7 points per clutch time. 4.7 points is higher than Kevin Durant and Shay-Gilgers Alexander (4.4 points each). This means that the ball has always been with Pax the moment it is needed. With its isolation based on powerful breakthroughs and extensive activity, the Foxes have been struggling with their opponents all season.

2024-2025 season for the Sacramento Kings:
8th in Offensive Ratings (114.2 points) / 17th in Defensive Ratings (113.6 points)
1st in mid-range scoring ratio (11.6%) / 25th in team 3-point shooting success rate (33.2%)

What’s holding Sacramento back this season is defense and three points. Of course, in the first place, Sacramento was a thoroughly offense-oriented team that never ranked within the top 10 in three seasons under Brown (24th-14th-17th).

The problem is that Harrison Barnes, who was in charge of bad work and three points for the team until last season, was sent out in a trade. Since Pax and Domantas Sabonis do not have much advantage in defense except for grooming, Sacramento was able to fully focus on offense by trusting Barnes’ 3&D resources such as Keegan Murray and Keon Ellis.

In a critical situation, a “golden hitter” who can turn the game around will take the batter’s box. Shohei Ohtani (30) can present a victory to the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is trailing behind him.

U.S. Sports Illustrated reported on the 3rd (Korea time) that Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred recently hinted at the possibility of introducing the “golden hitter” rule.

This is a rule that allows the best hitter regardless of his batting order at a critical moment. It is already being tested in the U.S. Independent League.

The media also introduced modified enforcement regulations. Making them available only to teams that are struggling. This method seems to maximize the effect.

To take the example of the Los Angeles Dodgers, it is the last attack in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs and a runner on the first base. It is time for the lower-ranked batters to enter. However, Ohtani will serve as a substitute.

Ohtani, the “golden hitter” who entered the batter’s box regardless of his batting order, will present a thrilling come-from-behind victory to the Los Angeles Dodgers with just one swing.

In addition, if the opposing team’s pitcher is 토토사이트 꽁머니 the top-notch finish, Ohtani vs Trout can be seen every game like the 2023 World Baseball Classic final.

However, there may be cases where his at-bat returns when the golden hitter gets on base. For this, it is essential to supplement regulations.

Giving these opportunities only to batters can undermine fairness in opportunities. However, pitchers who have already taken the mound and taken the mound are of little use.

In particular, recruiting starting pitchers for the next game could ruin the starting rotation itself. Therefore, it is quite difficult to apply to pitchers.

Attention is focusing on whether the best hitters in the major leagues, including Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, will actually be introduced to lead the team to victory at a crucial moment.

Cody Pons (30), who is considered to be a highly likely player to enter the KBO League, left the Rakuten Golden Eagles in the Japanese professional baseball league (NPB) and became a free body.

The Rakuten club officially announced on the 2nd, “We inform you that the decision has been made without signing a contract for the 2025 season with Pons.”

Ponce is a pitcher whose name has been steadily on the list of foreign players in KBO League clubs, and the possibility of going to Korea is rising to the surface again this winter.

Ponce, who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers as the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2015 MLB Rookie Draft, made his big league debut in Pittsburgh in 2020. He showed the possibility with one win, one loss and a 3.18 ERA in five games (three starts) in the first 토토사이트 꽁머니 season, but he no longer made the big league stage after slumping in 15 games (two starts) in 2021 with a 7.04 ERA. In the minor league, he played 476 innings in 134 games (75 starts), leaving 24 wins, 34 losses and a 3.93 ERA.

Pons, who turned to the Asian stage, signed a contract with the Nippon-Ham Fighters and headed to the NPB in 2022. As the starting pitcher of the Softbank Hawks game held at Sapporo Dome on August 27 that year, Pons pitched 113 pitches during nine innings, striking out two outs and striking out six (one walk). It was the first no-hitter for a Nippon-Ham pitcher in 27 years since Yukihiro Nishijaki in 1995.

Ponce, who made an impressive milestone but only played 83 ⅓ in 14 games due to injury, ended his first season in Japan with 3 wins, 5 losses and a 3.35 ERA. Ponce, who played 10 games (51 ⅔ innings) in 2023, his second year, left Nippon Ham with a 4-5 record and a 3.66 ERA.

Since then, Pons has signed Rakuten and continued his career on the NPB stage, but the results have been disastrous. Pons, who has been very sluggish with 3 wins, 6 losses and an ERA of 6.72 in 15 games this season, was humiliated by 12 runs in 3 innings against Softbank, which had a no-hitter during his time at Nippon Ham, eventually failed to renew his contract with Rakuten. Attention is focusing on whether Pons, who became a free agent, will sign a contract with the KBO League team as rumored.

Controversy erupted over the scene of the loss against Dortmund.

Bayern Munich drew 1-1 with Dortmund in the 12th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at Zignal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany on the 1st (Korea time). Dortmund scored the first goal in the match, which drew attention as the first der Clasicer of the season, but Bayern turned the game to square one.

Bayern lost goals in eight matches on the day, ending its record of seven consecutive matches without allowing a goal. However, the team continued its unbeaten streak. Bayern maintained its No. 1 position in the league with nine wins, three draws and 30 points. Dortmund came in fifth with six wins, two draws and four losses and 20 points.

Kim Min-jae remained on the starting list. Kim Min-jae started all 19 matches played by Bayern this season. Including the A national team, he is forced to start 25 consecutive games. In fact, Kim Min-jae is not in good shape.

Germany’s TZ reported, “Kim Min-jae has been complaining of ankle pain since early October. He has a problem with his Achilles tendon.” Kim Min-jae also said after the match against Paris Saint-Germain, “There are some problems after the match against Frankfurt. It is a little difficult to recover.”

Kim Min-jae, who played in the match against 토토사이트 꽁머니 Dortmund again, showed good performance again. Kim led Bayern’s defense with bold forward defense that he showed when playing for Napoli on the day. After a bold interception in the second minute of the first half, he created a scoring chance and blocked Dortmund’s attack with an aggressive defense.

He overwhelmed second scorer Seru Kirashi last season. However, he was substituted in the 35th minute of the second half due to an unexpected injury. In the final defense process, he was hit by the opponent’s elbow, causing bleeding above his eye. Instead of going straight to the hospital, Kim put a Band-Aid on the torn area and watched all of his teammates finish the game.

Kim Min-jae played for 80 minutes on the day, recording an 88 percent pass success rate, 50 percent long pass success rate, 67 percent tackle success rate (2/3), three clearances, five recovery times, and 75% (3/4) of ball competition. Although the pass success rate was lower than usual, he responded relatively well to the opponent’s attack at high speed.

Kim Min-jae was highly evaluated. At all evaluation sites, he received the highest ratings among defense teams. SopaScore gave 7.0 points and Footmob gave 7.2 points. He also had the highest score among defense teams, along with Davis. Whoscore was slightly lower at 6.6, but it was the highest rating among defense teams.

However, it was not easy to get a qualitative evaluation. TZ gave an interim rating of three points. Germany gives grades between one and six, and the lower the score, the better. TZ said, “If Kim Min-jae had gone a little faster, I could have supported Rhymer in losing points.” However, he did not miss out on complimenting him, saying, “He was more committed and calm than ever in a competitive situation, except for this.”

Avent Zeitung also scored three points. Avent Zeitung said, “Kim Min-jae is a reliable player when it comes to defense. He was able to score a goal as well. Kim Min-jae was close to a goal at a time when Dortmund was in a critical situation, but he hesitated to finish the game.”

There was a reason. It was because of the scene of Dortmund’s first goal in the 26th minute of the first half. Bainogitens, who was on the left, received a rear pass and hit it as it was. After beating Reimer, he penetrated into the box and fired as it was. The goalkeeper Neuer could not use his hands. It meant that Kim Min-jae’s movement was regrettable in this situation.

Subsequently, the controversy over the scene took place at Sport 1’s Stahlberg Doppelas. Bayern legend Stefan Ebenberg defended Kim Min-jae, saying, “It was a situation where Vinogitens could cross. There were three Dortmund players behind him, so it is right to cover the center. No center back would have gone out.”

On the other hand, head coach Felix Magat, who led Bayern in the past, said, “I don’t want to refute Epenberg’s opinion, but Kim Min-jae should have pushed with the idea of overcoming the danger before focusing on other things.”

“If Kim Min-jae moved, Upamecano had to go to that position, and then someone should be behind him,” Epenberg said. “If Kim Min-jae went to Vinogitens and scored, we would have talked about why Kim Min-jae went there.”

Criticism is mounting against Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), who missed a big chance. However, coach Anji Postecoglou is protecting Son and protecting him.

“Football London” gave Son four points in grading after the 13th round match of 2024-2025 English Premier League against Fulham ended in a 1-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 1st. It was the lowest rating in the team.

Son Heung-min started as a front-line striker on the day, but failed to score an offensive point. In particular, it was painful to miss two “big chances.”

Son had a critical chance as soon as the match started. He attempted to score a goal with a right footed shot from the front of the penalty area after receiving a pass from Timo Werner, but failed due to Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno’s good defense. It was not the only game. In the 19th minute of the first half, he intercepted the ball by taking advantage of the opponent team’s defense mistake, but was also robbed by Leno due to his long cheek touch.

“He had two chances to score at the beginning of the game. However, he was blocked by Leno both times,” Football London said. “Since then, he has hardly contributed to the game. It was as if he was playing separately in the surrounding areas. I had to lead the game as a captain, but I had a very quiet day.” BBC, a British public broadcaster, also gave a low rating of 5.45 points, saying that Son had a golden chance in just 50 seconds but missed the goal.

Earlier, Son Heung-min scored the first goal with a penalty kick in the Europa League match against AS Roma on the 30th of last month, but 토토사이트 꽁머니 missed both chances that came in the 36th minute of the first half and the 40th minute of the first half, which was under criticism. At the time, “Hosper HQ” criticized Son Heung-min, saying, “He only shot three times in the box against AS Roma, but he lacked calmness at a critical moment.”

Postecoglou, who attended a press conference held right after the match against Fulham, was asked a question about Son. A reporter asked, “He has not scored many goals this season, including recent games. Is there any way he can regain his confidence?”

Then Postecoglou refuted the claim. “That can be applied not only to Son but also to other players. The important thing is concentration,” he said. “He does not pay attention to issues outside of the game, but focuses only on the game. The best scorer doesn’t really care about such issues.”

In the meantime, he showed full confidence in Son. “I am not worried that he will fail to score a goal this season. He has proved himself every year,” Postecoglou said. “A lot of players sometimes fail to score a goal. In that case, you should not lose concentration and think too deeply about what happened in the past. I am confident that he will score a goal soon.”

There was no recruitment of Son Heung-min (Tottenham).

British media ‘Tribuna’ reported on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) that “Barcelona has decided to exclude Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and prioritize young talent.”

According to Miguel Rico, Barcelona’s Deku has chosen a strategy of recruiting young players for his team’s long-term success. “Son Heung-min and Salah are world-class players, but Barcelona is looking to build a team of young players who can contribute over the next several seasons,” he said.

Barcelona has been experiencing financial difficulties and reorganization of its squad in recent years, increasing its dependence on the youth system and young players. Players from the youth ranks, such as Ramin Yamal, Gavi, and Alejandro Valde, are playing important roles in the squad. Currently, it has become Barcelona’s new philosophy and recruitment base. This has resulted in the exclusion of veteran players, such as Son Heung-min and Salah, who are in their 30s.

Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to Son Heung-min’s move. There is a lot of talk about the possibility of renewing Tottenham’s contract to Saudi Arabia. In addition, the possibility of a transfer to La Liga was mentioned.

Son Heung-min, the “captain” who joined Tottenham in 2015, will end his contract after the 2024-25 season. As the next season approaches, local media are dealing with Tottenham’s situation and speculating on Son’s future moves.

Tottenham was determined to protect Son Heung-min because it sent Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), a former top European striker, to another team. Tottenham is recognizing that it is a spiritual pillar of the locker room as it is expanding its influence from key players to young players. Some warned that if Tottenham sends Son Heung-min, it will not be able to win the title, which was a long-cherished task.

Tottenham formed a consensus by negotiating re-signing with Son Heung-min. “Football Insider” announced in March that “Even Chairman Daniel Levy will personally renew his contract.” He also reported that he will continue to accompany Tottenham unless there is a big deal, saying he will sign the renewal of his contract this summer.

Recently, things have been different. Son Heung-min and Tottenham’s current contract is until June 2025. However, conditions for the club to arbitrarily extend the contract for another year are included. Sports media “The Athletic” predicted that Son will wear Tottenham’s uniform by 2026. It is expected that the club will not sign a new contract and continue to accompany Son by utilizing the existing contract clause.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham’s plan is clear. He will sign a contract with Son until 2026 using the option of extending his contract by one year. After that, he will gain an advantage when renewing his contract, and if the situation is not good, he will be sent off in 2025.

A year later, the deal could be even sold. Alan Hutton, who played for Tottenham in the past, claimed, “I think Tottenham put an option to extend their contract for one year to protect them. If someone replaces Son, then Tottenham can get a transfer fee accordingly.” The view was that Tottenham would make money from the transfer fee using Son with one year left on their contract.

Son, 토토사이트 꽁머니 who was born in 1992, is at an age when his performance will decline any time. As a result, the club could have thought that a long-term renewal of his contract with Son would result in a huge financial crisis.

However, it is a different story if the main character is Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a legendary player of Tottenham in name and reality, and has been watching Tottenham for nearly 10 years. As a result, Tottenham fans are insisting that Tottenham should treat Son as a legend by renewing his contract for a long time.

For now, chances are high that Son will stay. “Tottenham knows how big Son Heung-min is. He is in his 30s, but he is still a great player. He is one of Tottenham’s best stars and seems to be enjoying his captaincy,” said Alessdair Gold, a reporter for Football London.

“Tottenham and Son Heung-min have the option of a one-year extension contract. This option gives a sense of stability, and if both sides want to renew their contracts, they will likely reach an agreement,” he said.

Blake Snell (32), one of the biggest starting pitchers in the Major League Baseball (MLB) free agent market, will head to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The race to recruit the most promising Japanese pitcher is in mystery.

The LA Times, a U.S. media outlet, said on the 27th (Korea time), “According to sources, Snell reportedly signed a five-year contract with the Dodgers for a total of $182 million (254.363 billion won).” The media reported, “The Dodgers, which spent more than $100 million on recruiting Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto last year, opened their wallets to add blockbuster players to the starting rotation again.”

Snell is one of the top left-handers in the MLB. When he was a member of the Tampa Bay Rays, he became the winner of the American League Cy Young Award with 21 wins and 5 losses and a 1.89 ERA in 2018, and also won the National League Cy Young Award with 14 wins and 9 losses and a 2.25 ERA in the 2023 season when he played for the San Diego Padres.

Snell became a free agent after the 2023 season, but failed to sign a long-term contract and signed a two-year contract ($62 million) with the San Francisco Giants. An opt-out clause was included after the 2024 season, and he came back to the market about a year later. Snell joined the team about a week later due to an injury this season. 꽁머니 could not play more than five innings in all three of the first games, and had a break for more than a month due to recurrence of injuries. However, he pitched like a pitcher who won two Cy Young Awards after his return. He went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 games he played in the 2024 season. After securing competitiveness, he checked his value in the free agent market again and was selected as the winner of the 2024 MLB World Series.

As Snell headed to the Dodgers, Japanese pitcher Rocky Sasaki’s move to advance to MLB through posting also went into the fog. Rumors of Sasaki’s trip to the Dodgers were so rampant that there were suspicions of tempering. The fact that Japanese players Ohtani and Yamamoto are playing on the team made the connection stronger.

Sasaki’s agent denied the “contract theory.” In this situation, Snell, a “blockbuster-class” pitcher, headed to the Dodgers. The Dodgers’ starting lineup, where Ohtani returns as a pitcher in the 2025 season, is by no means weak. Walker Buehler has qualified as an FA, but he still has a lot of resources. It is questionable whether the Dodgers, which even Snell joined, will send Sasaki a love call.

The Lotte Giants, who failed to fill the shortstop hole even after investing a large amount of money, are deeply worried. Although they have found a new starting player named Park Seung-wook (31), their weaknesses still stand out compared to other teams.

Lotte signed a four-year free agent contract with Roh Jin-hyuk, an offensive shortstop who hit double-digit homers (2018-2020) for three consecutive seasons in November 2022. Contrary to expectations, Roh suffered the worst slump. Roh, who had a monthly batting average of 0.154 between March and April, was demoted to the second tier.

After Noh Jin-hyuk was notified of the second division, Park Seung-wook and Lee Hak-joo began to take turns in shortstop positions. It was Park Seung-wook who survived to the end of the two players. Lee Hak-joo was canceled from the first division on July 13, and Park Seung-wook became Lotte’s main shortstop because he was not called up until the end of the season.

Park had a batting average of 0.262, seven homers, 53 RBIs and an OPS of 0.716, in 139 games in the 2024 season. He left a meaningful record in offense. Since his debut as a pro, he has played the most games in the first team, hit a career-high seven homers and recorded his first 100 hits (106 hits). Noh Jin-hyuk and Lee Hak-joo were sluggish, but they struggled in their own way.

The problem was defense. Having revealed his weakness in defense, Park did not appear to be the main player. With 23 errors in the 2024 season, Park tied for second with Park Chan-ho (KIA Tigers) and Park Sung-han (SSG Landers) in overall error category.

Park Chan-ho (1,120 ⅓ innings) and Park Sung-han (1,115 innings) worked over 1,100 defensive innings, recording 23 errors and making up some of their disappointment in defense with a batting average of 300. Park, on the other hand, recorded 22 errors in 833 innings as a shortstop, and frequently made fatal errors at important moments.

Unless conditions change for the next season, the main shortstop is highly likely to be Park Seung-wook. There is a very small chance that Lee Hak-joo and Roh Jin-hyuk, who are in their mid-30s, will rebound in the 2025 season. Young players who can play shortstop Kim Se-min and Han Tae-yang will finish their military service, but no guarantee of their performance in the first division can be guaranteed. Rookie Lee Ho-joon has no experience playing in full-time seasons.

Lotte’s shortstop position worries have plagued the team for a long time. Lotte, which could not find a stable shortstop on either side of offense or defense, started to solve shortstop position concerns with a foreign hitter card called Dixon Machado in 2020. Machado batted in the late-2020 (0.280 in 2020 and 0.279 in 2021) during the two seasons (2020-2021), and the number of errors was only 21 (10 in 2020 and 11 in 2021).

꽁머니‘s presence has stabilized Lotte’s defense as a whole. Rodong, who had ranked first in league errors for two consecutive seasons in 2018 (117) and 2019 (114), suffered a setback in 2020 by ranking at least fourth (94), and at least first in 2021 (85). However, Lotte eventually ended up accompanying Machado because it lacked the offensive power to use foreign batter slots as shortstop. After that, in 2022, Lotte remained at the bottom of its team’s shortstop batting average (0.209) and OPS (0.556), falling back into a swamp of shortstop agony. As a result, he made a bold investment in FA Noh Jin-hyuk, but the problem still remains unresolved.

If Lotte wants to solve its shortstop problem, it can enter the FA market again. Shim Woo-joon of KT Wiz, who has strong defense, will become an FA after the end of this season. However, chances are high that key relief pitchers Kim Won-joong and Koo Seung-min will apply for the FA. Both players performed below expectations in the 2024 season, but since there is no suitable substitute, they should strive to crack down on the players rather than recruit them from outside.

Lotte, which ranked second after the KIA Tigers (146 errors) with 123 mistakes, needs to stabilize its defense in order to qualify for the fall baseball next season. To this end, the shortstop issue, dubbed the “flower of defense,” should be resolved, but the 2024 season proved that it is too much to trust Park. Although the team has revealed its limitations, the wrinkles are getting bigger due to lack of resources to replace Park.

It was an appearance that will be imprinted on baseball fans for a long time.

This is the story of Samsung pitcher Kim Yoon-soo, who appeared “caught” by his colleague Kim Tae-hoon at the moment of the crisis and struck out the opponent’s best hitter with three pitches.

Kim Yoon-soo, who met with a KBS reporter ahead of the second game, explained the situation at the time, “I couldn’t get the message of who was going out because the surroundings were very noisy. Everyone was busy, and I ran out in a hurry after (Kim) Tae-hoon caught me and confirmed me.”

“My friends sent me a lot of videos (shorts),” Kim said with a smile. “My face looked quite funny. My fans left a lot of comments, so I had fun looking through them.”

The appearance made fans laugh, but Kim Yun-soo surprised fans with the appearance.

The game has narrowed down to three points. At a desperate juncture when a single homerun is tying the game, Kim defeated LG Austin, the best hitter in the league, with three balls. Austin’s three bat wasted no time, and the speed was 155 km/h.

“In the last LG match in the regular league, I gave Austin a score while throwing a breaking ball in the same 0-2 count,” Kim Yoon-soo said. “I remember (Park) Byung-ho saying, ‘You have to play with a fast ball unconditionally,’ so I threw a fast ball boldly.”

Kim Yoon-soo, who blocked LG’s counterattack with an impactful pitch, also took the mound in the next inning (8th inning), but was withdrawn after giving up a hit ball to leadoff hitter Kim Hyun-soo.

“I thought I should catch the leadoff hitter somehow, but I made another mistake,” said Kim Yoon-soo, who expressed regret and said, “I thought I should throw more carefully so as not to make such a mistake in the next game and next 꽁머니 League.”

When asked by a reporter, “How do you want to appear next time?” Kim Yoon-soo, who answered, “I just want to appear normal,” strengthened his will for the upcoming game, saying, “I want to make a pitch that doesn’t allow a run next time.”
