‘Seo Jin-yong’s door crackdown’, which ended after 51G, but kept his pride

SSG Landers Seo Jin-yong, who has pitched well without a blown save in 50 games since the start of the regular season, earned his first blown save of the season, but kept his pride as a closer by taking charge of two innings.

SSG ended the weekend’s three-game series with a winning series, winning 8-5 in Game 11 of the season against the Doosan Bears in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 27th. The season record is 59 wins, 1 draw and 47 losses.먹튀검증

On this day, SSG’s batting line, including Ha Jae-hoon and Choi Jeong’s home run, showed concentration, and the bullpen pitchers, who held a scoreless relay after starting pitcher Moon Seung-won’s 3rd inning, joined forces. Thanks to this, he reached the bottom of the ninth inning with a 5-4 lead, and it seemed that the victory was confirmed with Seo Jin-yong of ‘Blonsave Zero’.

Seo Jin-yong, who seemed to be cruising until he struck out lead hitter Kim Jae-hwan, faced a crisis with one out and 1st and 3rd base with consecutive hits from follow-up batters Sue-bin Su and Jae-ho Kim. The atmosphere on the ground has also changed dramatically. In the end, Seo Jin-yong dedicated a run to third base runner Su-bin Su when Jose Rojas’ center fielder flew, ending the ‘Blonsave Zero’ march in the 51st game.

However, the batters gave strength. In the top of the 10th inning, SSG regained the lead with Jeon Eui-san’s 1 RBI and timely hit, and with Kim Seong-hyun’s 2 RBI and timely hit, SSG ran away to 8-5 and moved one step closer to victory.

The SSG bench left the mound to Seo Jin-yong in the bottom of the 10th inning. It was the wish that the closer would finish the game regardless of the blown save. Seo Jin-yong set up Kang Seung-ho and Park Joon-yeong in turn after a walk by Park Gye-beom, and ended the game with Jang Seung-hyeon’s strikeout. He was able to breathe a sigh of relief after confirming his victory.

After the game, SSG coach Kim Won-hyung encouraged Seo Jin-yong, saying, “Even though Jin-yong Seo made his first blown save of the season, he has done very well. He threw 2 innings today and contributed greatly to the victory. It was really hard.” From the first half to the second half, it was always up to Seo Jin-yong to guard the back door, and SSG, who came down from the lead, had no need to worry, at least as a closer.

For players, the first blown save of the season can be an opportunity to look back on themselves. There is no reason to be happy with one blown save, and there is no reason to be disappointed. There are still 37 games left for Seo Jin-yong and SSG.
