Jungang High School tasted victory in the Golden Lion for the first time in four years since 2020. Jungang High School won 8-3 over Namyangju GK in the first round of the 78th Golden Lion National High School Baseball Tournament and Weekend League King of Kings Tournament held at Mokdong Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 15th. If Jungang High School wins in the second round held on the 19th, it will achieve its second consecutive win in the Golden Lion for the first time in 19 years since 2005.
The main contributor to Jungang High School's victory was the 5th hitter, right fielder Yeo Kang-woon (3rd grade). Yeo Kang-woon was responsible for 5 of the 8 points scored by Jungang High School on this day. In the bottom of the first inning when the game was down 0-2, Yeo Kang-woon hit a triple with two outs and runners on first and second base to tie the game. In the bottom of the fifth, leading 4-3, Yeo Kang-woon came out as the leadoff hitter, got a walk, and hit home with the help of subsequent hitters. . He went on to increase his RBI with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 6th and a push-out walk in the bottom of the 8th.
Yeo Kang-woon, who finished the game with 4 RBIs and 1 run, said, “We let our guard down in the beginning and had a difficult game, but we are a team that does not collapse easily, so I think we won in the end. “I feel like I’ve been rewarded for my hard preparation,” he said. Yeo Kang-woon, who changed his position from catcher to outfielder as he entered his third year this year, aims to become a '5-tool player' who excels in a variety of offenses and defenses, like Taek-geun Lee, who retired from professional baseball Kiwoom in 2020. Lee Taek-geun wore a catcher's mask during his days at Gyeongnam Sango High School (now Bukyung High School) and Korea University, but after his professional debut, he mainly played as an outfielder.
