"I found out from the interview yesterday (3rd) that my father is sick, and it's probably the process of becoming an adult."

Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop expressed his gratitude to captain Yang Seok-hwan (33), who must have felt alone before the game against the Lotte Giants in Jamsil on the 4th. Yang Seok-hwan, along with Yang Eui-ji, wrote the history of having two grand home runs in a game in Jamsil for the first time in KBO history in the game against Lotte in Jamsil on the 3rd, and revealed why he was dark during the first half of the game.

Yang Seok-hwan said, "Actually, my father collapsed in May and is still in the hospital. That's why I didn't feel any better. That's why it was even harder. At some point, I thought it was stressful for me to pretend to be bright. That's why it was honestly a little dark at the ballpark for a while."
As he brought up his father, he continued to reflect as a captain. Yang Seok-hwan said, "I think it was a really unprofessional behavior, and in that regard, I feel sorry for the coach and the team members. Looking back, he was paying a lot of attention to the things I couldn't do (just because he was the captain). For example, there are many things besides the results of the ground, and even though I knew what I couldn't do, I couldn't look away again. I thought I shouldn't look away as a captain, and as a result, I fell in love with myself and it was a little difficult."

Manager Lee urged Yang by saying, "I found out from the interview yesterday that my father is ill. It is probably the process of becoming an adult. If you are a man, you will have to experience something again someday and you will get better. I think good things will happen again if our team members and everyone cheer for you so that you can get better. My family is tired, but we will cheer for him as a team member."

Did he become complacent after confiding in his concerns? Yang has made history by displaying batting performance to lead his team to victory for two consecutive days. Yang hit a solo shot to left-center at the bottom of the fifth inning with his team leading 2-0 in the game on Wednesday. He did not miss Lotte starter Aaron Wilkerson's third slider at the ball count 1-1. This allowed Doosan to end the first half of the year at third place, up one notch from fourth place, by winning 6-3.

Yang hit 20 home runs in the last game of the first half of the year, setting a new record of 20 home runs for the fourth consecutive year. Since hitting a career high with 28 home runs in the first year of his trade with Doosan in 2021, Yang has recorded 20 home runs in 2022 and 21 home runs last year. He showed off his great power by using Jamsil, the largest stadium in Korea, as his home ground. Of the 20 home runs this year, 12 came from Jamsil Stadium.

In the history of the KBO League, only three Jamsil hitters, including Yang Suk-hwan, have hit 20 home runs for four consecutive seasons. All three have set records for Doosan. Tyrone Woods, dubbed Doosan's best foreign hitter in history, set the record for five consecutive years from 1998 to 2002, and Oh Jae-il (current KT Wiz) set the record for four consecutive years from 2016 to 2019.

Yang Seok-hwan said, "I feel good to have achieved the record of 20 home runs for four consecutive seasons. Above all, it is a record that I feel proud as a batter who uses Jamsil Stadium as his home. Still, I want to not settle down here and achieve my goal of 30 home runs," he said.

"I am happy to win the last game of the first half. I am grateful as a captain for all the good work in the team during the first half of the year. Young pitchers in particular made a great contribution. In the second half of the year, I want to cheer up and make pitchers less difficult. Everyone worked hard," he said to his team members. 룸알바
