“At first, it was a small tire, but as the time went on, they gradually switched to bigger ones.” Because the tires got too heavy for his original posture, he lowered his posture while doing the drill. “The training method in Korean amateur baseball is a bit old-school,” Park said. Once he got into the team, one of the drills he had to do required him to play catch while wearing a car tire on his back. “The team only had pitchers who threw with overhand or three-quarter slots,” Park said. The team’s manager asked his players to find the most flexible student they knew who was willing to throw a baseball. When he was attending Gunsan Middle, his school’s baseball team needed a sidearm pitcher. No one really starts out as a submarine pitcher. Originally, I intended to focus on his development as a submariner, but once he mentioned his big league ambitions, our conversation changed a bit. This week, I sat down with Jong-Hoon at the Munhak Baseball Stadium, the Incheon home of the SK Wyverns, to talk about his development, his delivery, his pitches, and his desire to go to the major leagues. However, it seems that he has set his sights on an even bigger future.

He also made the Korean national team for the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games and played a part in the Wyverns’ 2018 Korean Series championship. In 2018, he had his finest season yet, going 14-8, with a 4.18 ERA (125.8 ERA+) in 30 starts, striking out 133 in 159.1 IP. Not only is he fun to watch, but he is also one of the top Korean-born pitchers in the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO). He is as true a submarine pitcher as one could be, which is quite rare in the current baseball landscape.
