[엑스포츠뉴스 고척, 조은혜 기자] Four years ago and even today, positive will was at the center of the championship. The pressure of a series called by name, but it deserved to be called a ‘positive intention series’ because it overcame that pressure.
Yang Eui-ji appeared in the games leading up to the six Korean Series games against the Doosan Bears in the 2020 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League postseason, with 22 at-bats, 7 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBIs, 3 runs. and a batting average of 0.318. Yang Eui-ji, who led the team’s first integrated championship, was selected as the Most Valuable Player of the Korean Series by receiving 36 of the 80 votes from reporters, thus becoming the first player to win two MVPs from the Korean Series. Korean Series of both teams.
In 2016, four years ago, NC Dinos made their first Korean series, but the season unfortunately ended without winning a victory over Doosan. At that time, the center of Doosan was Yanguiji. At the time, Yang Eui-ji scored 70 out of 77 reporters with 16 at-bats, 7 hits, 1 home run and 4 RBIs in 4 games, and became the catcher’s MVP in the Korean series after 25 years. .
And four years later, after Yang Eui-ji transferred his team, NC’s Korean series opponent, unfortunately, was Doosan, who was aiming for the first integrated championship. Considering the part where NC finished the regular season in first place and Doosan in third place, the fate was ironic. Yang Eui-ji, who beat NC in Doosan’s uniform, had to wear NC’s uniform. It was a scene that he had imagined, but did not know that it would come true. NC and Doosan’s Korean series naturally received the title of ‘Yanguiji Series’.
There were six letters that contained positive will expectations. Yang Eui-ji was a word that referred to the importance of the player, but it was also a word that could crush Yang Eui-ji, but Yang Eui-ji was not dominated by the title. There were days when the blow did not go well and there were errors in the defense, but he did not shake. He hit the final blow of the fourth game, which was outnumbered, and led the team to victory with a home run in the fifth game, where he had to lead. At the most important moment, the positive will is energized. The home plate Yang Yu-ji kept had a sense of stability as always.
The catcher, the fourth batter and the captain. Yang Eui-ji played all roles well, and both his fellow players and the command tower praised him. Veteran pitcher Kim Jin-sung, who played all six games in the Korean Series, said: “From a pitcher’s point of view, you don’t have to think too much about the mound, but it’s good to get rid of that thought.” Director Lee Dong-wook also said, ‘I don’t order much at the bank. He showed confidence that what Yang Yu-ji asks for is a part to believe.
Yang Yu-ji, who broke down in tears after confirming that she won the Korean Series, confessed that “there was tremendous pressure” only after it was all over. Yang Yu-ji, who had to overcome various things besides fighting the opponent, completed the real ‘Yang-ui-hee series’ with those tears. It demonstrated the reason why it was called the ‘Yanguiji Series’. The process and the results speak. Yang Yu-ji is now at NC Dinos.
