Kim Taek-yeon, who caught the Dodgers, is back… Director Seung-yeop Lee “I feel like I’ve adapted”
Doosan newbie Kim Taek-yeon struck out three consecutive missed swings with a fastball at KT Jeonseo on the 10th.

“They are players who are a great help to our team,” he said.
Manager Lee especially praised rookie pitcher Kim Taek-yeon, who pitched well in the previous day’s game against KT, allowing 2 hits, 3 strikeouts, and no runs in one inning.
