“There is no right answer in baseball. So it’s fun.”
Samsung Lions veteran pitcher Woo Kyu-min (38) has just entered his 21st year of professional debut. Woo Kyu-min, who is constantly guarding the Samsung mound, has played in 708 professional games, recording 79 wins, 85 losses, 90 saves and 95 holds, and an average ERA of 3.94.
Even this season, Woo Kyu-min has been faltering in the last two games, but he has recorded 2 holds and is firmly guarding Samsung’s bullpen.
Woo Kyu-min made some changes to his pitching style ahead of this season. He said that while watching the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC), he saw the pitching form of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, pitcher of the Japanese national team, and had the thought, “I need to make a change.” 먹튀검증
Woo Gyu-min, whom I recently met at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, said, “I think we have to change every year. When he saw Yamamoto throwing while watching the WBC, he thought, ‘Should I throw it like that?’ I’ve been doing it since the trial game, and it’s okay. There are no unnecessary movements, and it is comfortable. Since there are no miscellaneous movements, a point is being formed where you can use your strength at once.”
“I always pitched to throw low. However, at some point, hitters who use the upper swing a lot are coming out. There are a lot of long hits coming out. So he’s thinking about throwing a high fastball.”
Although he is a 21-year veteran pitcher, he still studies and studies again.
Woo Kyu-min said, “There is no right answer in baseball. So funny. If there is a correct answer, isn’t there an end? There is no right answer, so I keep studying and researching.”
