“I apologize to the team for taking so long, but I think I helped the team today, so it’s good.”

It was a long-awaited victory, and one that his teammates will never forget.

E Jang Jae-young, who made a name for himself in high school with a 157-kilometer fastball and signed a Kiwoom jersey for 900 million won, the second highest rookie contract in history.

However, despite his fastball, he was unable to overcome his inherent pitching difficulties and faced a lot of criticism.

In an attempt to find the feel of his high school pitching, he even tried batting in the Australian League last winter‥but after struggling early in the season, that changed after spending over a month with the second team.

His strikeouts dropped noticeably, he found his groove, and after giving up just three runs in five games, he won with skill, not luck.

“I think I was trying to be too good when I started the game as a starter this season, and it didn’t work out too well, but when I went down to the second team, I prepared myself to relax a little bit and pitch a little bit more aggressively, and I think that helped me a lot.”

With advice from some of the best players in the country, including Lee Jung-hoo and Ahn Woo-jin, Jang Jae-young can only look ahead.
