4 pitches in 0.1 innings → 6 runs in 3 innings. That's the end of the general debacle. Salvation Army comes to the top of the crisis. Koen Win, who finished registration, will take the mound in the second division on the 30th → Select the first division in nine consecutive games

On the 28th, LG Twins completed the issuance of visas and registration of KBO players"He will join the LG Champions Park in Icheon on the 29th to train and play in the Futures League game against the Lotte Giants in Icheon on the 30th," he said."
LG foreign pitcher Hernandez started against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 15th and pitched no-hit and no-hit in six innings before voluntarily stepping down as he felt tight on his thigh. On the same day, bullpen pitchers also recorded the true record of the team's no-hitter, but Hernandez received a regrettable result of damage to the femoral muscle at the next day's examination. Fortunately, he was able to return in about six weeks, not a major injury, so he began looking for a short-term foreign pitcher, and was able to recruit Koen Win, who trained together at Arizona camp in February in preparation for the Asian quarter.
LG got a chance to test the Asian quarter candidate by filling Hernandez's void with Coen Win.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `It's better than our sixth starter right now,' adding `It's fortunate that the club moved quickly, so we can recruit Coen Win and fill the vacancy quickly.'
Coach Yeom, who watched Coen Win's pitching at the Arizona camp, said of Coen Win "He has good control and throws various pitches." The shortcoming is the speed limit, and the fastball throws an average of 146km. If the fastball speed was higher, it would have been on our list of foreign players. It's in the Asian quarter because the speed is not fast."

In the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on the 26th, Lee Ji-gang played as the first pitcher, but he became a losing pitcher by allowing eight hits (two home runs), two walks, one strikeout, and six runs in three innings. LG lost four to eight.
It is fortunate that Coen Win's return is just the time when the nine consecutive games will be held. LG will play nine consecutive games against Hanwha (Daejeon), SSG (Jamsil away game) and Doosan (Jamsil away game) from the 29th. Coach Yeom recently announced his plan to start Choi Chae-heung and Coen Win, who pitched well as starters in the Futures League, in nine consecutive games.
Choi Chae-heung is likely to play against SSG on the 2nd, the day of Hernandez's appearance. Koen Win is likely to be determined by the number of pitches and innings pitched against Lotte on the 30th. If the pitching on the 30th is the same concept as bullpen pitching, it is possible to take a quick mound, but if you take enough pitches, you can expect a first-team appearance after a break from 4 to 5 days.
What will be the outcome of LG's big picture of filling the position of a short-term foreign pitcher as an Asian quarter candidate. If Coen Win pitches well, LG will keep its No. 1 position and reserve Asian quarter players for next season in advance.
