Samsung Lions right-handed pitcher Yang Chang-seop (27) shared an unusual anecdote about his wife's dedicated support, expressing his gratitude. He conveyed that the presence of his family has made him feel psychologically very at ease.

Yang Chang-seop truly had a scorching May. Starting with a relief appearance on May 10 against Changwon NC, where he pitched 1⅔ scoreless innings, he was given a starting opportunity and successfully made a comeback. In three May starts, he secured victories in all of them, posting an overwhelming record of 3 wins (tied for 5th in wins) and a 1.25 ERA across four May games.

In particular, on May 24 at Sajik Stadium against the Lotte Giants, Yang delivered a perfect game, allowing only one hit and issuing no walks over nine innings, achieving the unforgettable milestone of his first career shutout. Even head coach Park Jin-man (50) stated with certainty that Yang would continue to start games.

As Yang soared on the mound, he cited "the power of family" as the secret to his more stable performance and increased velocity. Meeting with reporters ahead of the game on the 2nd, he could not hide his gratitude for his wife's devoted support.

Yang stated, "My wife takes excellent care of the children, allowing me to focus entirely on training." He added, "Games often end late, and when I get home, my wife doesn't let me do any housework like washing dishes or doing laundry."

He continued, "Out of guilt, if I try to help with housework, my wife tells me not to. If I insist, she even scolds me," sharing an amusing behind-the-scenes story.

Yang, now a father of two children since his marriage, added that finding psychological stability within the family has become a major driving force in his baseball career.

Drafted as the second overall pick in the 2018 second-round amateur draft and joining Samsung, Yang truly began to shine in his baseball career after resolving his military service issues post-marriage. Nodding in agreement with StarNews's observation, he said, "I can focus solely on baseball and physical management without worrying about other things like dating." He further expressed, "Most importantly, the mere existence of someone always cheering for me right by my side is the greatest strength," revealing his deep affection for his wife.

It is already well-known on social media that Yang's wife visits nearby temples to pray for her husband's strong performance. Regarding this, Yang explained with an awkward smile, "People say they feel at peace when they go to the temple. I understand she goes whenever she feels like it, not just on game days. I can also clear my mind by going occasionally."
