He was the player that Samsung, with the vacant 5th starter, had been waiting for. Choi Chae-heung showed good fighting as everyone wished. Choi Chae-heung had a successful comeback with 5.1 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and no runs. Although Samsung lost 1-2, Choi Chae-heung stood out for his pitching.
Choi Chae-heung, who met at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 14th, said, “I don’t even know how I threw it because I was so nervous. He doesn’t even know what he did until episode 3. From the 4th inning, I felt more relaxed. I tried to concentrate hard and continue the winning atmosphere on Sunday. He also threw hard according to (Kang) Minho’s signature, but everyone said he threw well, so I think he threw well.” At the same time, he said, “I was afraid that the pressure would increase if I prepared, so I tried to just throw it and bump into it. I thought LG would give it about 4 points because it was good, but it worked out better than I thought.”
Samsung coach Park Jin-man fell in love with Choi Chae-heung’s good fight. Manager Park Jin-man said, “I took out the ‘5’ from the 5 starts and showed enough pitching to be in charge of one axis of the starting rotation. he looked reassuringly well. It must have been a burden. He said, “The command has definitely changed. He threw a strike-like ball well. Confidence on the mound also increased. Maybe it was because he ate well in the army for a year and a half, and he gained confidence. He showed powerful pitching on the mound,” he said.
Then Choi Chae-heung laughed and said, “The military rice was delicious when it first came in, but it got less and less tasty the more I went in.” Also, I didn’t want to skip meals, so I ate well, but it definitely seems to have improved.”

“I am grateful that the director gave me a good evaluation. Now it depends on what I do. I think I will find a little more stability if I throw well on the coming Sunday game and next week’s game.”
He continued to climb the mound in the Armed Forces Athletic Corps (Sangmu) and never lost his senses. He also waited for the day he would rise to the first team by exercising hard in Sangmu, which was well-equipped with exercise equipment and other facilities.
Choi Chae-heung said, “I worked hard at Sangmu. The environment itself was good for exercising. Also, isn’t the business record related to my salary? Also, since the director was very considerate, he seems to have gained strength,” he smiled.
While in business, I received a lot of help from many people. Especially when he felt that he was pitching in a bad direction, the videos of his pitching on his social media and the videos sent by his fans brought a big change to Choi Chae-heung.
Choi Chae-heung said, “Before I entered Sangmu, my speed was falling. He was looking for a cause. He seems to have a weak center shift. He tried a lot, but he was going in a bad direction. Videos taken by his fans helped a lot. There are people who went to social media to look for it or sent a video directly. I thought ‘my current situation’ was like this, and I modified it. And it was corrected.”

When I come back to the first team, I have a taste for baseball. More than 10,000 spectators chanted Choi Chae-heung’s name at Jamsil Stadium and cheered Choi Chae-heung’s pitch.
“The cheers were really good,” he said. Since he was discharged, he felt that this is how he feels. Mungyeong had at most 30 people,” he laughed and said, “Now, as a starter, I will try to become a player who can see full-time.”
