“I still lack the temperament of a fighting cock”…The veteran pitcher who ran 700G left bitter comments

“It seems that he still lacks the temperament of a fighting cock.”

Samsung Lions veteran pitcher Woo Gyu-min (38) left sincere advice to his juniors. He urged opponents to fight harder. He emphasized that if juniors want to take a step forward, he must pitch aggressively.

Woo Gyu-min started his professional life by being nominated by the LG Twins in the 3rd round in 2003 with the 19th rank

, and joined Samsung as a free agent in 2017 and has continued to play an active role. He has accumulated a lot of experience as he has played for a long time. He digested everything from the starter to the winning group and closer안전놀이터. He has played 706 games so far. There are only 14 players who have played 700 games in the KBO league history of more than 40 years.

Although he has reached the twilight of his career, Woo Kyu-min is still needed by the team. He also played an important role this year as a sure-win group. While Woo Kyu-min is enduring, it is also an important task for other young pitchers to grow. Woo Kyu-min said, “All the players on our team work hard. We did a lot of research and have grown.”

However, most Samsung pitchers have yet to break out of the egg. Woo Kyu-min expressed regret, saying, “The players have passion. But everyone has a good heart. I often tell my juniors that they don’t have to do that on the mound. I think they lack the temperament of a fighting chicken. That’s why their growth is slow.”

Recently, it is often seen that both clubs and players use data. However, Woo Kyu-min hopes that his juniors will not be buried too much in data. He raised his voice, saying, “It’s a pity to be tied only to data. I didn’t do well in the game, but I was satisfied with detailed indicators such as rotational speed and release point. It’s more important not to give points than that.”

At the same time, he promised to pitch more aggressively than he did. Woo Kyu-min said, “If I’m going to get hit anyway, I’m thinking of getting hit within 3 pitches. It doesn’t matter if I get hits. If the number of pitches is small, I can face the next hitter. At a disadvantageous count, I throw a ball I am not confident in. In situations where the pitcher has an advantage, it is more “I can throw a good ball,” he said.
