The recent hit of youth in the KBO League bullpen is noticeable even when looking at the save ranking. It is so fierce that he does not have to miss Oh Seung-hwan (43, Samsung Lions), and it is hard to remember Ko Woo-seok (27), who is spending a difficult time in the U.S.바카라사이트
Currently, the bullpen and closer with the strongest pitching and speed in the league are by far Park Young-hyun (KT Wiz), Kim Seo-hyun (Hanwha Eagles), and Kim Taek-yeon (Doosan Bears). While Kim Taek-yeon has shown some trials this season, Park Young-hyun and Kim Seo-hyun brilliantly serve as the last bastion of their team's 9 o'clock baseball.
Park Young-hyun posted two losses, 13 saves and an earned run average of 2.92 in 22 games this season. His earned run average (ERA) in the latter half of the two-point range is not a good closing score. He had some ups and downs in the early days of the season. However, he had zero ERA in six games since May. During seven ⅓ innings, he had two hits and one walk, sending out only three runners.
Kim Seo-hyun has one loss, one hold, 13 saves and an ERA of 0.79 in 24 games. He also has a WHIP of 0.93. It boasts the most overwhelming pitching among the top four saves. There are no more control struggles. His own pitching posture has been fully established. Basically, the merit of being a fastball pitcher in the three-quarter is considerable. The ball itself is strong, but the trajectory is unique, so it is untouchable.
While Park Young-hyun and Kim Seo-hyun were ranked No. 1 in saves with strong pitching, Jeong Hae-young and Kim Won-joong entered the race for No. 1 saves with abundant experience and clear weapons called folk balls. The two have produced the best performances consistently among KBO league closers in recent years. Jung reserved 20 saves for the fifth consecutive year, and Kim Won-joong made 10 saves for the sixth consecutive year.
Jung has one win, two losses and 13 saves with an earned run average of 2.08 in 20 games. Considering his WHIP of 1.20, he is not a pitcher who does not send a runner. However, he always secures a game that he needs to catch with his ample experience in finishing the game. Even so, he is not a pitcher who lacks ball power.
Kim Won-joong has one win, 13 saves and an earned run average (ERA) of 1.27 in 20 games. WHIP is 1.22, which is a little worse than that of Jeong. He has 14 more walks than 12 hits. However, he does not suffer a hard hit like Jeong, and he catches games that he can catch. As expected, he is not a pitcher with a poor pitch itself.

Their save race is just beginning. Lotte and Hanwha have displayed good team performance, as they tied for second place. Only when the team's performance is good, then can the team have more chances to achieve saves. KIA and KT are also capable of reaching the mid-range at any time. Therefore, chances are high that the four players will stage a very fierce save race this summer.
Besides them, there are many young setup men and finishers in each team. It is a happy concern for KBO, which is preparing for the World Baseball Classic in March next year. This part does not seem to require any help from foreigners or Korean foreigners.
