Yang Chang-seop (23), a right-handed pitcher for the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization, has been embroiled in controversy for intentionally throwing a ball at an opposing batter’s body during a game.

TV commentator Oh Jae-won of Sportvision raised suspicions by saying that he was convinced of the intentional throw, and Yang Chang-seop responded on social media (SNS).

Yang came to bat in the top of the seventh inning with Samsung trailing 7-13 against the visiting SSG Landers in the 2023 Baseball World Series at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on April 24.

With the score tied at 7-7, Samsung’s bullpen was struggling and SSG had the bases loaded.

Yang Chang-seop took the mound and threw a fastball right down the middle to Choi, followed by two pitches to the body.

The third one went over his head, causing him to panic.

Yang threw a fourth pitch toward the body, which grazed his uniform and hit the body.

Choi glared at Yang, then headed to first base. It was an unspoken protest that the pitch was thrown intentionally.

“This was an open slap,” commentator Oh Jae-won said, “I hate this kind of situation the most.”

Yang Chang-seop took off his hat and bowed his head to apologize to Choi as he headed to first base, and commentator Oh Jae-won said, “There’s no need to apologize for this.”

This meant that Yang had intentionally thrown the ball at Choi.

Yang then struck out the next batter, Guillermo Heredia, with the bases loaded, but Samsung was unable to overcome the deficit and lost 10-13.

With their fifth straight loss, Samsung has not been able to climb out of last place.

After the match, Yang posted a meaningful message on his social media.

He wrote, “Fish are always caught with their mouths. Humans are also caught by the mouth. A line from the Talmud,” he wrote.

The message seemed to be aimed at commentator Oh Jae-won, who called his pitch an intentional dune.

Oh responded in the same way.

He wrote on his social media, “A fool speaks of what he has heard, and a wise man speaks of what he has seen. Talmud.” He posted a picture file with the words.

The implication is that he told what he saw.

The Samsung team said Yang did not intentionally throw a ball that hit him in the body.

“The flow of the game at the time was not a situation where he could intentionally throw a sandbag,” a Samsung representative said in a phone call on the 25th, explaining, “It was a misunderstanding while fighting for the body.”

Meanwhile, commentator Oh Jae-won, who retired from the Doosan Bears last year, has often been in the news for his outspoken comments.

Last month, he sparked controversy when he criticized Park Chan-ho in a video interview, saying, “There were not one or two players who made fools of themselves by saying irresponsible things.”온라인바카라

Oh recently returned to the microphone after apologizing on social media following criticism of his irresponsible comments.
