What on earth happened to LG's selection. Even Song Seung-ki, the first starter since his debut, has allowed seven scoreless innings, making one hit and 5K scoreless with a 150km fastball. LG's 32 consecutive scoreless innings (on the Jamsil site)

In his first appearance of the season against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 27th, Song Seung-ki recorded one hit, one walk, five strikeouts and no runs in seven innings.
After Chirinos started with two runs in six innings in the opening match against Lotte, Son Joo-young (7 scoreless innings), Hernandez (7 scoreless innings), and Lim Chan-kyu (9 scoreless innings), Song Seung-ki showed a tremendous starting pace with seven scoreless innings. Unfortunately, he was replaced by Park Myung-geun at 0-0 and failed to record a win or loss.
As a result, LG recorded a quality start for all the starters in the opening five games. And since Chirinos, the first starter, gave two runs in the fourth inning against Lotte on the 22nd, Son Joo-young (7 scoreless innings), Hernandez (7 scoreless innings), Lim Chan-kyu (9 scoreless innings), and Song Seung-ki (7 scoreless innings) have all scored no runs, continuing the tremendous record of 32 scoreless innings.
Song Seung-ki is a growth pitcher who graduated from Yatapo in 2021 and joined the team in the 87th place in the second round of the ninth round, and has risen to the 5th starting pitcher through growth.
Last year, he pitched in 20 games at Sangmu and achieved a triple crown with 11 wins, 4 losses and a 2.41 121 strikeouts with an ERA, making him the best pitcher in the Futures League.
In the meantime, his performance in the first team has not been very good. He pitched eight ⅓ innings in seven games in 2022, recording a 5.40 ERA with one loss and one hit and one walk in one game last year. He pitched in eight games in the first team, recording one loss and a 4.82 ERA. I've never made a start.
This was her first first first team selection match since her professional debut.
How to overcome the burden is my homework. For four games, LG won four consecutive games as first starter Chirinos allowed two runs in six innings, second starter Son Joo-young allowed seven scoreless innings, third starter Hernandez continued seven scoreless innings, and Lim Chan-kyu won nine scoreless innings the previous day. Song Seung-ki, the fifth starter, has no choice but to think that he should continue his winning streak.

It was at the beginning of the first inning, which was different from Yeom's concerns. He struck out the lead, Kim Tae-yeon, on three pitches In the third pitch, he threw a 150km fastball high toward his body to induce a swing and miss. After a full-count battle with No. 2 Moon Hyun-bin, he struck out again swinging with a 148km fastball that was high outside his sixth pitch. No. 3 Floral induced a foul with consecutive fastballs, caught the advantageous count of 2S, treated it with a ground ball in front of an ordinary third baseman with a low slider outside the fourth pitch, and ended the first inning with a mistake.
He also had three outs in the top of the second inning. Noh Si-hwan was caught with a ground ball in front of the pitcher in the second ball, and Chae Eun-seong also made a 146km fastball to left field. And An Chi-hong induced a swing and miss with a slider and ended with a strikeout.
I had my first crisis in the top of the third inning. He was hit by a double on the right-field line by first-runner Lim Jong-chan, and Choi Jae-hoon was on the verge of a sacrifice bunt in front of the pitcher with one out and third base. However, Song Seung-ki, who struck out Shim Woo-joon with a change-up to make two outs, induced another swing and miss with a change-up that dropped Kim Tae-yeon, who met for the second time, to end the third inning.
In the top of the fourth inning, Moon Hyun-bin was fouled by third baseman, Floral was fouled by left fielder, and Roh Si-hwan was fouled by shortstop.
In the top of the fifth inning, Song caught Chae Eun-seong, An Chi-hong and Im Jong-chan all with poor batting, and finished the game with three outs in the top of the sixth inning, successfully starting the game with a quality start. However, he pitched only 70 pitches and took the mound in the top of the seventh inning as well.
He caught the leadoff Moon Hyun-bin with a foul fly to the third baseman and was going smoothly, catching two strikes from Floral. But suddenly, he threw four balls in a row and allowed a walk. Coach Kim Kwang-sam went to the mound and read it, but two consecutive balls came out of Roh Si-hwan's at-bat, and he even threw wild pitches, leading to one out and second base. Song Seung-ki even hit a big foul home run, but he handled Noh Si-hwan with a ground ball in front of the third base, and Chae Eun-sung also caught him with a ground ball in front of the third base to finish his first start without losing a point. Replaced by Park Myung-geun in the top of the eighth inning.
The number of pitches was 94. He blocked Hanwha batters by throwing 50 fastballs up to 150 kilometers, 14 forkballs of 133 kilometers, 14 changeups of 132 kilometers, 8 sliders of 136 kilometers, and 8 curves of 123 kilometers.
Yeom has already promised to give him a chance to start for a month. Despite the team's fourth consecutive win and its first start at Jamsil Stadium, where 23,750 people were sold out, Song Seung-ki stopped seven scoreless innings and cut the first tape well.
