Jared Young (29), a foreign hitter of the Doosan Bears in professional baseball, hit a home run in three consecutive games.
Jared started the game against SSG Landers in the “2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League” at SSG Landers in Incheon on the 10th and played 2 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBIs, 1 run and 1 walk in 3 at-bats.
Jared, who was out after striking out with a runner on the second base and one out in the top of the first inning, managed to adjust his batting performance by hitting a double with one out in the third inning. With two outs and runners on the second base in the fifth inning when Doosan was losing 2-5, he hit a 135-km/h slider at the third pitch of left-handed starter Kim Kwang-hyun to hit a two-run homer. It was his fifth homer of this season, which he garnered in three consecutive games.
Jared, who showed off his best batting performance, turned the game around by hitting an RBI sacrifice fly against right-handed relief pitcher Lee Woon with runners on the second and third bases with no outs in the seventh inning when the two teams were tying 5-5. Doosan kept the lead that Jared made and won 10-6, and Jared became the winner of the game. 먹튀검증
Jared said in an interview after the game, “Yesterday and today, I was happy to help my team win by hitting home runs at the plate at an important moment. I was able to win a thrilling come-from-behind victory because all the players did not lose their concentration until the end. It was a disadvantageous ball count, but I believed in my swing. I am known as a pull hitter, but I think I am a spray heater that can send balls to everywhere on the field myself.”
Jared, who has been batting .450 (18 for 40) with five home runs, 18 RBIs, 12 runs scored and an OPS of 1.490 in 10 games as soon as he joined the KBO League, said, “I think ABS (automatic ball judging system) is good. It’s fair to everyone. Since I can’t protest, the game progresses fast. Despite the heat wave that I’ve never experienced before, I am adapting well to life in the league and in Korea thanks to my coaching staff and teammates. I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me adapt to Korea.”
Doosan won two consecutive games on the day to secure three consecutive winnings series over the weekend. In this season, Doosan ranks fourth in the league with 58 wins, two draws and 53 losses and a .523 winning rate. “Fighting for ranking is fierce. If we focus on every game, we will be able to advance to the postseason with a higher ranking,” Jarrod said, vowing to play well during the rest of the season.
