Returning to the Korean Series stage after seven years, Yang Hyeon-jong may not have had the same vigor as before, but he still subdued the Samsung Lions batting lineup with his aggressive pitching.

In a bases-loaded crisis, his ability to get the powerful hitter Kim Young-woong out showcased the veteran's unique experience at 36 years old.

True to his title as 'the man of records,' after achieving the highest age for a domestic pitcher to win a starting game in the Korean Series, Yang Hyeon-jong shouted this to the fans.

As seen in the fan's cheering slogan, Yang Hyeon-jong was a key player in KIA's last Korean Series championship in 2017.

At that time, he also pitched in Game 2, achieving a complete game victory and clenched his fist in celebration.

Yang Hyeon-jong expresses his desire to recreate the memorable scene from Game 5, where he took the mound in the 9th inning to finish the championship.

While veteran Yang Hyeon-jong is on the mound, Kim Do-yeong is soaring in his first Korean Series at the plate.

As the 3rd and 4th games are played in Daegu, with the hitter-friendly stadium, Samsung's powerful lineup is preparing for a counterattack, and the suddenly chilly weather has also become a variable.
