96th out of 110.

This is the professional draft ranking of second-year pitcher Seong Yeong-tak, who has recently emerged as the hottest product on the KIA Tigers mound.

He is leading KIA's resurgence, which was wobbling, with the so-called 'miracle of the 10th round'.

Reporter Lee Mu-hyeong reports.

["My form is insane these days~"]

Seong Yeong-tak's sharp two-seam fastball and breaking balls are causing batters' bats to repeatedly miss the ball.

Since his debut in the first team on May 1, Seong Yeong-tak has achieved a streak of 15 and 2/3 innings without allowing a run, becoming the owner of a new club record, surpassing the legendary Jo Gye-hyun of the Tigers.

[Commentary: "The longest scoreless innings since debut, Seong Yeong-tak is making history..."]

Although he experienced winning a national tournament as the ace of Busan High School, Seong Yeong-tak, with a velocity in the 130 km/h range, seemed ordinary.

["Busan High School pitcher, Seong Yeong-tak."]

He was drafted 96th overall in the 10th round and barely donned the KIA uniform as a developmental player.

However, this scene he showed during the ceremonial pitch for the championship in high school was not a coincidence.

By maintaining remarkable control even while falling and raising his maximum velocity to 147 km/h, Seong Yeong-tak has transformed into a completely different player.

He perfectly filled the gap in the bullpen left by injured Kwak Do-kyu and Hwang Dong-ha, completing the so-called 'miracle of the 10th round'.

[Seong Yeong-tak/KIA: "I think what my parents said is the most memorable. They said that the first team stadium is much better than the second team stadium, so every time they come, I feel prouder to keep a scoreless game."]

KIA, which has seen strong performances from second-team players like Oh Seon-woo, who was a perennial prospect, and Kim Ho-ryeong, a defensive player, is currently leading the monthly win rate in June despite the absence of key players like Kim Do-young.

[Oller/KIA pitcher: "Hold tight, we're going up!"]

KIA's so-called 'gum baseball', which turned crises into opportunities, is adding excitement to the early summer professional baseball rankings.
