After the game, KT coach Lee Kang-cheol메이저사이트 said, “Starter Eom Sang-baek overcame the crisis well and fulfilled his role, and the bullpen pitchers also blocked it well. I also want to praise Seongwoo Jang for his lead. On the other line, Seong-Woo Jang’s hit brought the atmosphere of the game, and after allowing a tie, Lee Sang-Ho Ho-Bi, Alford, and Jang Seong-Woo’s extra-long hits were able to win. Moon Sang-cheol and Kim Min-hyuk also showed good hitting and contributed to the team’s victory.”

Alford also met with reporters and said, “When I hit the home run, I thought I was going to throw a curveball even before I got into the plate. In the first at-bat, the opposing pitcher pitched mainly on breaking balls, so I expected it to some extent. He aimed for a curveball and was happy that the result was a home run. It was good that the pitchers and hitters were doing well overall today, and they escaped the losing streak.”

Regarding the fact that he went down to the 6th batting order, Alford said, “I deal with the pitcher in the same way anyway, so going down to the 6th batting order did not significantly reduce the pressure. Still, I had the advantage of getting tips that I could apply in my at-bat while watching right-handed hitters in front of me play against pitchers,” he nodded.

Lastly, Alford said, “I worked hard every day to get out of the recent batting slump. Even though he plays every day, it’s not too hard for him to feel responsible. I don’t care about his stamina. He has a lot of games left in the season. Last year, he also went up and advanced to fall baseball. If the injured players return and the existing players show a focused performance, they will rise to a high level again this year.”
