Born in 1988, he is a left-handed starting pitcher for the national team who has experienced the American Major League (MLB) at the same age.
The two had a lot in common and were compared as rivals because they had many similarities, but they competed in friendship, asking each other to be called friends rather than rivals.
The two,메이저사이트 who became 35-year-old veterans from 20-year-old rookies, are still active as representatives of the KBO League beyond the aces in the team. This is the story of SSG Landers Kim Gwang-hyun (35) and KIA Tigers Yang Hyeon-jong (35).
Kim Gwang-hyun and Yang Hyeon-jong, who represent the ‘left-handed ace’, will face off for the starting match at the Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 9th.
The confrontation between the two was unexpected. SSG, who played an away game at Gocheok Sky Dome with Kiwoom Heroes, who use a dome stadium, without a cancellation in the rain, put Kim Kwang-hyun as the starting pitcher on the 9th as scheduled.
On the other hand, KIA could not play consecutive games due to the rain that fell across the country last week. At the same time, since Yang Hyeon-jong could not pitch for 10 days, KIA put Yang Hyeon-jong as the starter. It was a match made due to rain.
It is a confrontation that has been completed after 8 years. This is the 7th clash between the two as starting pitchers. The most recent match was on September 26, 2015.

Kim Gwang-hyun and Yang Hyeon-jong are fighting hard this season as well. Kim Gwang-hyun won 2 wins in 5 games and had an ERA of 4.30, and Yang Hyeon-jong played 4 games and recorded 1 win and an ERA of 2.63. Both are on an undefeated road.
If even one of the two becomes a winning pitcher on this day, the KBO league’s career record will be renewed.
As of the 8th, Yang Hyeon-jong has recorded 160 wins and Kim Gwang-hyun has recorded 151 wins. If Yang Hyun-jong builds a multiplier on the 9th, it will tie with commentator Jeong Min-cheol’s 161 wins, which is second in the KBO League’s career. If Kim Gwang-hyun also becomes a winning pitcher, he will be ranked 4th with KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-cheol, who recorded 152 wins.
