"Great pitcher" Yang Hyeon-jong (36, Kia Tigers) ranked No. 1 in this season's innings category. He also set a historic milestone.

In an away game against the NC Dinos in the "2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" held at Changwon NC Park at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Yang displayed stellar performance by allowing five hits, two walks and four strikeouts and one run in six innings. His ERA this season also declined from 3.34 to 3.16. He pitched 90 pitches. Due to Yang's good pitching, Kia beat NC 2-1.

Yang maintained stability throughout the game. With one out in the first inning, he allowed Seo to hit a left-handed hit, but put follow-up hitters Park Kun-woo and Matt Davidson to bed with poor batting to let him know of a good start. 

In the second inning, he displayed outstanding crisis management skills. He took one out similar to in the first inning, before getting a triple to the right by Kim Sung-wook. With one out and runners on the third base at risk, Yang skillfully faced off batters. He first threw a slider that flowed outward to Park Se-hyuk, and struck out swinging. He then struck out Kim in a row by using a 130 kilometer per hour changeup.

After finishing the inning by guiding Seo Ho-cheol to a double play by third baseman with one out in the third inning, Yang continued his cruise after finishing the fourth inning with his first three outs. Yang escaped the crisis by putting Kim Se-hoon to sleep with a ground ball to the first base in the fifth inning with two outs and a runner on the second base, which was made due to Kim Joo-won's hit and defense error.

In the bottom of the sixth inning when his team was leading 1-0, Yang gave up hits and four walks to Son A-seop and Seo Ho-cheol in succession. He handled Park Kun-woo with a double play by shortstop, but allowed Davidson a timely hit to the left, and allowed one run, which was disappointing. Yang blocked additional runs and allowed one run in six innings of quality start (more than six innings and less than three earned runs).

In the seventh inning, when the game was tied 1 to 1, Yang handed over the mound to the bullpen. Thanks to Yang's performance, Kia beat NC Dinos 2-1 for its fourth consecutive win. It also maintained its lone No. 1 ranking (29 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses). Yang caused concern by showing lackluster performance by allowing six runs in six innings at the Doosan Bears game on Friday last week, when he took the mound just before the game. However, he immediately rebounded on the day, proving that his concern over the team's advance was unfounded. 

Yang stands out the most among KIA pitchers this season by far. Yang has established himself as the "KIA ace" by banking on his robust skills even at age 36. He has been playing rotation with James Nail and Yoon Young-chul.

His unique temperament as an "inning pitcher" stands out. With his overwhelming performance in innings, Yang ranked No. 1 (62.2 innings) in the league's innings division, beating KT Wiz William Cuevas (62.1 innings). Yang also had a high quality start in six consecutive games, including a complete victory over KT (one run in nine innings). In addition to digesting innings, he has displayed excellent performance capability to curb lost runs. 

In addition, Yang has played 2,395 innings in total, ranking second in the KBO's most innings alone, beating over Jung Min-chul (2394.2 innings). Yang has become the first player in the division's history, recording 170 innings pitched for nine consecutive years from the 2014 season to last year. After a fierce chase, he finally crossed Jung Min-chul. Although there is a long way to go to reach No. 1 Song Jin-woo (3003 innings), Yang is already on the path of "living legend" by posting the most active wins (171 wins) throughout his career.

Attention is focusing on whether Yang Hyun-jong, who is leading KIA, will continue his amazing performance until the middle and second half of the season.
