“I think the biggest victory is that Lee Jung-yong is showing stable form as a starter,” he said.
Trailing 1-2 in the top of the sixth inning, pinch-hitter Park Dong-won’s thrilling grand slam changed the game, but the victory was only possible because ‘starter’ Lee Jung-yong (27), along with catcher Park Dong-won, kept the deficit to a minimum.
Lee picked up his fifth win of the season with an aggressive six innings on 81 pitches, despite the frustration of a one-run deficit in the fifth inning. He has pitched well in three consecutive games, starting against Kiwoom on April 2. He has allowed just two runs in 17 innings over the three games.

Park Dong-won, the catcher who receives the ball, testified.
“He used to throw a rising fastball, but his fastball has gotten better lately, so he’s got more power with his forkball, and he’s got more options with his curve and slider, so I told him, ‘Why don’t you go to the army?’ (Laughs)”
Jung is set to enlist in the army in December. Having withdrawn from the military once before, he can’t put it off any longer.
A season of mixed feelings. After making the switch, which is a big change, I feel more relaxed.
Both on the mound and off. In his post-game interview, Lee said, “I’m really happy.
“Before today’s game, I thought that I should throw long innings so that the pitchers behind me could play comfortably. I decided to throw six innings and come down, and I’m glad that I achieved my goal and came down.”
He wasn’t too concerned about his own victory. He remained calm and focused on his task, even before senior Dong-won Park’s walk-off home run tied the game.
“I gave them the lead, but I didn’t think we were going to lose if I went down, so I knew Dong-won was going to do it, and he did.”
A bullpen starter’s midseason transformation. It’s not an easy task.

What is the secret to successfully accomplishing such a difficult mission? It’s not just the diversity of techniques, such as the forkball he learned from Kim Jin-sung and the curveball he corrected with the advice of Lim Chan-gyu. It’s a change in mindset.
“I think starting pitchers have a lot of pressure, and bullpen pitchers have a lot of pressure, so I’m trying to control my mindset by thinking about throwing long innings differently than when I pitch in the middle, and thinking that even if I have a bad inning, the next inning is a fresh start.”
Technically and mentally, it’s not a sparkling performance.
As Park wistfully jokes, it’s a shame that he’ll have to join the military after this season, but maybe that’s why Lee’s fall will be so poignant.
