"I was nervous when I pitched for the first time, and I wanted to do well, but I was satisfied that it led to a good result," Jang said. "Overall, I would give my pitching a grade of 80 out of 100. I gave myself a grade against China, 카지노사이트랭크 and there were some things I was disappointed with, so I took 20 points off."

"I was very nervous at first because I was the youngest in the team. But my older brothers approached me first, so I felt comfortable," he said. "I learned a lot of things like how to work out and changeups. Definitely, the balls of the seniors who play in the pros are different from the amateurs, so I see, feel, and learn a lot," he said.

After winning the Asian Games, Jang Hyun-seok hopes to wear the Korean flag in bigger international competitions in the future.
"My goal is to get to the big leagues as soon as possible," he said. If I get the chance, I'd like to go to international tournaments like the WBC and Premier12 and perform well with my seniors," he said.
