Jared Young of the Doosan Bears has hit a home run in four consecutive games.
Jared Young started in right field against the SSG Landers in the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on Nov. 11.
After striking out on a six-pitch fastball from left-handed starter Oh Won-seok in the top of the first inning, Jered took a two-pitch, 143-kilometer-per-hour fastball from Oh for a walk-off solo home run over the left-field fence with Doosan trailing 3-5 in the bottom of the inning. It was his sixth home run of the season.
Jared, who came to Doosan as a foreign-born replacement for Henry Ramos, has been on fire since arriving in the KBO. 파워볼실시간 He has hit six home runs in 11 games, including four consecutive games against LG on the 8th, SSG on the 9th, SSG on the 10th, and this game.
Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said in an interview before the game, “First of all, I see the ball well. I had a long stride, so I had a few false swings at high fastballs, but I think I’ve adjusted to it now. Kim Kwang-hyun hit a home run with his changeup and also hit a sacrifice fly in an unfavorable pitch count, so he definitely has the ability to make contact. He’s had a strikeout rate of over four percent in the minors, so I think he’s going to be a steady hand,” said Jared.
