[Reporter Ni Wanjun/Comprehensive Report] The South Korean team defeated Taiwan 6:4 in the Asian Professional Baseball Championship today, relying on the TQB (Quality Battle Rate) advantage to win the championship game ticket. Among them, 2-bat Kim Chaoyong hit a lead in the 5th inning, which also echoed the public support of South Korea's "national hitter" Lee Seung-yeop before the game.
The 23-year-old Kim Soo-young had a batting average of 308%, 45 home runs, and 118 RBIs in his Korean career this year, and won the home run title. However, his performance in the first two games of this AFC Champions League was poor. He had no hits in 4 games against Australia and only 1 hit in 4 games against Japan. He was even ridiculed by some South Korean public opinion as the "domestic king."
When the 50-year-old legendary South Korean hitter Lee Seung-yeop attended an event at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul today, he specially said: "Kim Daoyong's performance at the age of 23 was even better than when I was 23. He is a perfect hitter. There is something wrong with criticizing him just because he did not perform well in the first one or two games of this AFC Champions League."
Li Chengye then said: "Isn't there a game against Taiwan today? This is an important game. He will definitely perform well at this time and will play at critical moments. I hope everyone will restrain their criticism of him."
As a result, when the two sides were tied at 3:3 in the fifth inning, Jin Huoyong faced Taiwan's second pitcher Chen Muheng. He caught a 135-kilometer slider and hit a right field cannon to help South Korea lead 4:3. After confirming that the ball flew out of the home run wall, he shook off the bat and roared loudly. In the end, he scored 2 hits and 1 RBI in 4 games, making Lee Seung-yeop's pre-game prediction come true.
