We've already found an Asian quarter player for next year.
LG Twins' short-term replacement foreign pitcher Coen Win became the winning pitcher with a quality start in his first appearance, raising expectations for the Asian quarter next season.
Coen Win made his KBO League debut in a home game against SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 4th, spraying 87 pitches in six innings, leading his team to a 12-4 victory with five hits (one home run) and two strikeouts and three runs.
Eliaser Hernandez is a substitute who was quickly found due to a sudden thigh injury. As a pitcher who watched as he prepared for the Asian quarter, which is scheduled to take effect next season, he invited him to the Arizona spring camp in February and trained together for two weeks. At a time when it was not easy to find a player to come in a short period of time, LG quickly recalled Coen Win. In addition to the player's identification, he asked him to recruit to see how well it works in the KBO League, and he readily accepted it, and the Australian player's Asian quarter test began.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop 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." Expectations were not very high, either. "It's better than our 6th starter", but I just want him to pitch as much as 5th starter"," he said of his realistic target.

Fortunately, the first pitching was satisfactory. The maximum fastball speed of 48 pitches was 147 kilometers, and fork balls (28) and curves (11) were added. It is a similar pitch choice to Lim Chan-kyu, who mainly throws fastballs, changeups, and curves.
The fact that there were no walks is a passing point. The part that can be considered to have been aggressive.
Considering that Hernandez's injury is about six weeks away from his return, Koen Win is likely to throw four more times in the future, considering that Hernandez returns around the end of May or early June.
If you play five to six innings well, you will be able to return to Australia with enough passing points, and come back to Korea wearing LG uniforms in the Asian quarter next season.
Although Hernandez's injury created a disappointing situation for LG's No. 1 run, the crisis turned into an opportunity, and Coen Win could be brought in for a test. At this opportunity, he may be the first team to confirm the Asian quarter.
