Kiwoom closer Yuto, who appeared in the bottom of the 9th inning of the 2026 KBO League Kiwoom Heroes vs. NC Dinos game held at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 21st, is seen sighing with relief after preventing a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second base. 2026.04.21.

Yuto, having already recorded two outs, faced a full-count battle and allowed Kim Ju-won to reach base via a walk.

He then allowed Shin Jae-in to hit a ground ball to right field, creating a two-out, runners-on-first-and-second-base crisis.

Park Min-woo stepped up to the plate.

Although Park Min-woo hit a powerful ball, the right fielder could not let it go, marking the moment Yuto's save was successful.

Heart-pounding!

"This must be why closers do what they do."
