There is no other person more reliable than a family. Kim Ji-hyun is a reliable supporter of Hanwha Eagles closer Kim Seo-hyun (21) of the Korean pro baseball whose brother is a catcher of the bullpen.스포츠토토

Kim Seo-hyun lost the game against KT in Daejeon on Saturday, along with his first run of the season. He came up with a 1-1 tie and built a runner up with two walks, before Mel Rojas Jr. hit the finishing hit. His scoreless streak in 13 games and 11 ⅔ innings was broken, and he even lost the game. His first failure as a closer was more shocking than when he collapsed as an intermediate set-up man.

Kim Seo-hyun asked not only Yang Sang-moon, the pitching coach, but also his older brother, Kim Ji-hyun, the bullpen catcher of the same team. Kim Ji-hyun, who joined the pro league as an SSG player last year but was excluded from the list of players on hold in a year, has been working as a bullpen catcher for Hanwha since this year. Hanwha, which needed more bullpen catchers after last season, offered Kim a position. There were areas where Kim Seo-hyun, who likes his brother enough to wear the number 44, was expected to help stabilize his psychology.

Since the spring camp, Kim Ji-hyun has been spending the season with Hanwha pitchers, including Kim Seo-hyun. Kim Seo-hyun thanked him at the beginning of the season, saying, "My brother is good at teaching me about my condition or what I can't do. I'm very helpful because I can think about it before the game," but even after experiencing my first failure as a closer, I received comfort and advice from my brother.

The very next day, at the game against KT on Wednesday, Kim took the mound in the ninth inning with a 2-1 lead, blocked three strikeouts and made saves in one day to overcome the shock. After making his seventh save this season, Kim still maintains an earned run average of 0 points (0.66). He had 11 strikeouts in 13 ⅔ innings.

After the game, Kim Seo-hyun said, "I can tell my seniors and others about the difficulties, but my brother has seen me for a long time. I can get feedback quickly, and I can change bad things quickly." Since he has seen me grow up since I was young, I know myself better than anyone else, and since I am a family member, I can communicate openly with him. One of the things Hanwha expected when it brought Kim Ji-hyun to the bullpen pitcher last winter was Kim Seo-hyun's mental management.

I'm just proud of my younger brother, who is taking his place with the finishing touch. Kim Ji-hyun said, "I'm so happy that my younger brother is doing well. All I can say is that it's good," and added, "It's not that much that I'm helping. I just briefly say a few things I felt before I go on the mound. Seo-hyun asks me first, and I talk a lot before I go in."

Kim Ji-hyun, a former player who always receives Kim Seo-hyun's ball from the bullpen, said, "There are no balls that can escape, and I have a sense of stability in my ball control. I hope Seo-hyun doesn't get sick and just do it like this. I'm also new to Hanwha this year, and my goal is to play in the fall baseball with my younger brother."

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon also views Kim Seo-hyun, who is determined to take responsibility with the help of his older brother. The day after losing his first point and losing the game, Kim Seo-hyun seemed to be suffering from body aches. I felt a bit of a cold the day before, but I was not in good condition due to poor result of the game. However, Kim did not reveal his cold and prepared for the game, and garnered three saves.

Coach Kim Kyung-moon said, "Seo-hyun was sick, but he didn't report to me," adding, "A young player who threw well once made a mistake, but he had that responsibility. So it's very hard to finish. Since I've never lost (as a closing player), I felt like I blamed myself a lot, but I overcame it well."

"Honestly, it was so hard to explain (after the game on Saturday). It was even bigger because we lost for the first time since we finished the game, but we were able to prevent it again thanks to the trust of the coach and the coach," Kim said. "I hope this kind of experience will help me as the coach said. I will become a stepping stone to make more efforts." On the fact that the scoreless streak has been broken, Kim said, "I am not aware. Athletes should not just pay attention to their individual performances. I will only focus on protecting the game."
