He struck out six.

As SSG won 8-4, Gwang-Hyun Kim achieved his third win of the season and his 161st win (88 losses) in his personal career.

Jeong Min-cheol (161 wins, 128 losses) has the same number of wins as MBC Sports Plus commentator.

Now, there are only two pitchers who have more wins in the KBO League than Kim Gwang-hyun: Song Jin-woo (210 wins, 153 losses), coach of the Oneston semi-professional baseball team, and Yang Hyeon-jong (168 wins, 114 losses, KIA Tigers).

On this day, Gwang-Hyun Kim pitched perfectly without allowing any hits until the 3rd inning, giving up only one hit.

SSG's batting lineup supported 3 runs in the bottom of the second inning with Hanyu Island's two-run shot and Go Myeong-jun's solo home run.

In the top of the fourth inning, Gwang-Hyun Kim got hit by consecutive hits from Ronnie Dawson and Hye-Seong Kim and ended up on first and second base with no outs, but overcame his first crisis by forcing Joo-Hwan Choi into a double play in front of the second baseman.

In the 5th inning, with 2 outs, he gave up an infield hit to Jae-hyeon Kim to the shortstop, and then allowed a two-run home run over the left wall in a full count (3 balls - 2 strikes) match against rookie Jae-sang Lee.

Gwang-Hyun Kim struck out Lee Joo-Hyung, changed the atmosphere, and completed the day's mission by blocking the 6th inning without allowing a run.

Gwang-Hyun Kim threw a combination of fastballs reaching up to 150 km/h, sliders, change-ups, and curves that reached up to 140 km/h.

Kim Gwang-hyun, who began his professional career by being drafted in the first round by the SK Wyverns (predecessor of SSG) in 2007, achieved his first professional victory (6 innings, 2 hits, no runs) against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju Mudeung Stadium on May 13 of that year.

The following year, he ranked first in most wins with 16 wins, and in 2010 he also ranked first in this category with 17 wins. 슬롯사이트

Kim Gwang-hyun experienced ups and downs, failing to achieve 10 wins in 2011 (4 wins) and 2012 (8 wins), but regained his ace status after undergoing elbow ligament joint surgery at the end of the 2016 season.

In 2019, he achieved 17 wins and attempted to advance to the Major League of American Professional Baseball, and played for the St. Louis Cardinals for two years (2020-2021), posting 10 wins, 7 losses, 2 saves, and an ERA of 2.97.

Kim Gwang-hyun, who returned to Korea in 2022, pitched well with 13 wins, 3 losses, and an ERA of 2.13 in the first year of his return, contributing to the team's combined championship (regular season and Korean Series wins).

Last year, he faltered somewhat with 9 wins, 8 losses, and an ERA of 3.53 due to shoulder pain.

This season is off to a good start.

In the opening game against the Lotte Giants on March 23, he earned the starting win by allowing 6 hits and 3 runs in 5 innings, and six days later (March 29), he pitched well against the Samsung Lions, allowing 2 hits and 1 run in 6 innings, following Song Jin-woo, Jeong Min-cheol, and Yang Hyun-jong. He became the fourth player in KBO history to reach 160 wins.

In the game against the Doosan Bears on April 4, he came off the mound after pitching only 2⅔ innings (1 hit and no runs) due to back pain, but he started normally on the 10th and grabbed the win.

Gwang-Hyun Kim increased his KBO career strikeout total to 1,749, approaching the record of current KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-cheol (1,751), who ranked third in this category by two. 토토사이트
