Kang Hyo-jong (21), a right-hander born in 2002 of the LG Twins, went down the mound with his second win of the season just around the corner.

Kang Hyo-jong started in the 2023 professional baseball KBO League NC Dinos home game held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 18th and pitched 86 balls in 4.1 innings, 3 hits, 4 walks, 5 strikeouts and 2 runs (1 earned run).

With the team leading 2-1, Kang Hyo-jong, who handed the ball to follow-up pitcher Ham Deok-joo, failed to complete five innings to qualify as a winning pitcher. However, Ham Deok-joo did not concede any additional runs, so it has nothing to do with defeat.메이저사이트

Kang Hyo-jong, who made his professional debut in 2021 and won only one win until last year, is showing improvement this season. He pitched well throughout the demonstration game and was dropped as the 5th starter, and recorded 5 scoreless innings in the away game against Kiwoom Heroes on the 6th, achieving the victory of the season.
