"Should I take any ball as a souvenir?"

Even though he set the 10th milestone in KBO League history, he didn't know what he did. Turns out, it was a great record.

LG Twins' Lim Chan-kyu's momentum is as scary as the team's performance. Lim Chan-kyu started against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 10th and won his third victory of the season with one run and a full pitching in seven innings. It is a total of three starts in three games following the shutout victory against the Hanwha Eagles, the first appearance of the season, and the victory against the strong team KT Wiz. LG is also leading the way with 12 wins and 2 losses since the opening.




The highlight of Lim Chan-kyu's pitching on the day was the fourth inning. Kiwoom's central batters, Puig, Lee Ju-hyung and Park Joo-hong, were dealt with as three players.

At first, I thought I just ended the inning with three strikeouts. But looking back, it wasn't just three strikeouts. All three batters struck out three times. He ended the inning with nine balls and three strikeouts. This is called a flawless inning in baseball.

LG-Kium match held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 10th. As Lim Chan-kyu ended the inning by striking out three batters in a row with nine balls in the top of the fourth inning, his teammates, including Son Joo-young, are cheering.

At first glance, it doesn't seem very difficult, but it's a very difficult task. It is also difficult to strike out three batters, but it is also a three-pitch strikeout without one ball. It is a possible achievement only when you overwhelm your opponents in ball control, control, and fighting. Therefore, it is a record that has only appeared nine times since the launch of professional baseball in 1982. It is the first time in LG's history.




But after the fourth episode, Lim Chan-gyu had no idea that he had set such a milestone. Lim Chan-kyu laughed, saying, `Neither I nor catcher (Park) Dong-won didn't know about it.'

Pitcher Son Joo-young, who was watching the game in the dugout, came and told me. Lim Chan-kyu said "It suddenly bothered me to hear that, so I couldn't strike out the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning."

When asked if he had packed a memorial, Lim Chan-kyu said, `If I had known, I would have packed it, but I had no idea. If you take any ball here, it's a memorial."




On this day, he was on a shutout and complete game pace, but he was not greedy at all for finishing the inning with 80-7 innings. It is decided by the coach and coach. He just concentrates on every ball on the mound. As a starting pitcher, it's more important to keep throwing for a long time than personal records."
