He has remarkable strikeouts. Jang Hyun-suk (20), who recently became a single A player in the rookie league in the minor league, has struck out a lot with fastballs.
Jang Hyun-seok pitched 36 2/3 innings in a total of 18 minor league games (15 starts) until the 6th (Korea time), recording 1-3 losses and a 6.14 ERA.
His ERA is poor because of walks. Jang allowed just 22 hits during 36 2/3 innings. However, he has a whopping 27 walks.
In response, he posted 6.6 walks per nine innings, higher than 5.4 hits per nine innings. However, there are positive aspects as well. He has the ability to strike out with powerful pitches.
Jang struck out a whopping 68 in 36 2/3 innings. He struck out 16.7 times per nine innings. He nearly doubled his total in innings.
After moving to Single-A, Jang has shown very stable performance with an ERA of 2.19 in five games. He still has a lot of walks, but is receiving fewer hits.
Jang has only 2.9 hits per nine innings of single A. In addition, although the number has decreased compared to the rookie league, he still has 13.9 strikeouts per nine innings.
He also allowed three strikeouts with no hits and no runs in two innings in the game on the 5th. He lost a point in his first game after moving to Single-A, but has continued his four-game scoreless streak since then.
Of course, Jang has to deal with 6.6 walks per nine innings in order to enter the Major League. Fastballs without ball control do not work in the Major League.
However, it is a positive sign that Jang has recorded many strikeouts based on his ball power. This is a reproduction of his performance in high school in Korea.
Now Jang Hyun-seok will wrap up his first minor league season in the middle of this month. Attention is focusing on whether Jang Hyun-seok will be able to continue his recent scoreless streak to the last game of the season. 스포츠토토
