Veteran catcher Yang Eui-ji of the Doosan Bears activated his valuable home run after 8 days.
On the 28th, Yang Eui-ji started as the third catcher in the eighth game of the season against the KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park and hit a home run in his second at-bat.
Yang Eui-ji appeared as the leadoff hitter in the top of the third inning, leading 4-0, and hit a solo home run against KT starter William Cuevas. After watching the first pitch go by, he took a low changeup at 129 km/h on the second pitch and connected with a distance of 123.4 meters home run to the left. This was his seventh home run of the season, coming 8 days after the game against SSG Landers on the 20th.
Yang Eui-ji added a score with his home run, achieving the 35th milestone of 900 runs scored in KBO League history.
Doosan extended their lead to 5-0 with Yang Eui-ji's home run. While Yang Seok-hwan and Kang Seung-ho suffered from repeated poor performances and faced the humiliation of being excluded from the lineup, the veteran Yang Eui-ji showcased his prowess.
