Obviously got into the opening entry. It is still included in the entry. However, Kim Young-woo has never pitched in five games since the opening.
It's not just Kim Young-woo. Kim Yoo-young, Lee Woo-chan, and Lee Ji-gang also failed to take the mound. Bae Jae-joon was included in the opening entry, but he did not take the mound for three games before going down to the second division with starter Lim Chan-kyu registered on the 26th.
This is all because the starters threw well.
During five games, LG's starting pitchers played more than six innings. Yoni Chirinos' two runs in six innings in the opening match against Lotte on the 22nd was the record for the fewest throws.
After that, Son Joo-young scored seven scoreless innings against Lotte on the 23rd, and Eliaser Hernandez scored seven scoreless innings against Hanwha on the 25th. On the 26th, Lim Chan-kyu won his first shutout victory after nine scoreless innings. On the 27th, Song Seung-ki, who made his first first first-team start, pitched seven scoreless innings. While blocking a total of 45 innings in five games, the starter pitched 36 innings. Only nine innings were blocked by the bullpen. Among the 10 teams, LG is the only team in which the bullpen pitched 10 innings or less in five games. The team that threw the least bullpen after LG was the Doosan Bears in 15 ⅔ innings.
For LG, Kim Kang-ryul stopped three innings, Kim Jin-sung three innings, Park Myung-geun two innings, and Woo Kang-hoon one inning each. Baek Seung-hyun also took the mound, but failed to catch an out count and went down.
Kim Jin-sung, Park Myung-geun, and Woo Kang-hoon took the mound after Chirinos on the 22nd, and Baek Seung-hyun, Kim Jin-sung, and Kim Kang-ryul came out after Son Joo-young on the 23rd. On the 25th, he finished with Kim Jin-sung and Kim Kang-ryul after Hernandez, and on the 27th, he won with Park Myung-geun and Kim Kang-ryul after Song Seung-ki.

LG has 14 pitchers among 28 entries. Of these, nine are bullpen pitchers except for five starters, with only five taking the mound in five games and four still yet to throw from the mound.
Kiwoom's No. 1 Jung Hyun-woo won the start by spraying 122 balls in five innings and has already experienced the sweetness and bitterness of the second-ranked Jung Woo-joo. Kim Young-woo is only happy with his seniors' victory, but has yet to throw in a packed stadium.
Currently, the player LG fans want to meet the most is rookie Kim Young-woo.
Kim Young-woo received fans' attention when closer Jang Hyun-sik suffered an ankle injury in the Arizona camp, with Yeom Kyung-yeop as a temporary closing candidate. He showed his potential as a closing pitcher with a high pitch of up to 154 kilometers and a thick top. He tested it through Okinawa practice and exhibition games, but his ball control was good, but he showed no clear control yet, so he decided it was too early to play as a closer.
He entered the opening entry, started as a chasing group, gained experience, and planned to gradually enter the must-win group.
But I had to go out to gain experience, but there was no situation to go out. He tried to make his first appearance and experience success in a comfortable situation with a big score gap, but that situation did not happen. Some games were won by LG by a large margin, but Kim Young-woo had not prepared in advance because he often scored a lot of points at the end.
Will there be an opportunity in the three consecutive weekend games against the NC Dinos in Changwon. LG fans would like it to be a winning game, not a game where Kim Young-woo takes the mound.
