Lim Chang-yong (50), a legendary pitcher who played in the Major League Baseball, the Japanese Professional Baseball (NPB), the KIA Tigers (including the Haitai period), and the Samsung Lions, made a determined statement.
On the 5th, Lim Chang-yong said on his YouTube channel 'Chang-yong Bul-Chang-yong Lim Chang-yong', "I was more frustrated with TV, so I held the microphone myself. He posted a video saying, "No more 'Jakdu commentary' and 'prediction commentary' that only sees and fits the results."
Lim Chang-yong said in a video, "There is some recognition in the baseball world, and almost a lot of former star players are turning to commentary. Of course, you will have your own stubbornness and baseball style. In that respect, you can see a lot of commentary," he said.
Lim Chang-yong said, "In fact, personally, when I listen to the commentary in my last years as a player, commentators predict the situation a lot. What to do in this situation is what to do. Of course, it will be fun, but no one knows what kind of operation will come out and what kind of pitch will be chosen. If the situation continues as predicted there, the commentators become more talkative. When the opposite happens, it becomes mute. In the end, the commentary only needs to explain the situation to the viewers as it used to be. I think it's a role to make viewers understand," he said.
"In fact, when I heard from the director's point of view, (prediction, prediction explanation) could be upsetting. There were times when I felt bad about commentary when I was a player. The commentary should be the purpose, but I think it's a little wrong because the commentator is operating and directing the operation. I have such a personal desire," he added.
Then, does Lim Chang-yong have any thoughts on commentary. He said, "I think it doesn't fit a little because I have a small voice and a small voice. I'll do it if you call me, but in fact, there's no place to call me," he said, ending the video with a smile.
Lim Chang-yong is a legend who played on the Korean, American and Japanese stages until the 2018 season. He made his debut as a member of the Haitai Tigers (currently KIA) in the 1995 season and pitched in a total of 760 games with 130 wins, 86 losses, 19 holds, 258 saves, and an ERA of 3.45. It wasn't bad in NPB either. From the 2008 season to the 2012 season, he recorded a comprehensive record of 238 games with 11 wins, 13 losses and 128 saves with a 2.09 ERA. In the 2013 season, he played in six big league games for the Chicago Cubs in the Major League, but left a 5.40 ERA without winning or losing.
