It's time to say goodbye to the LG Twins' temporary replacement foreign pitcher Coen Win. Foreign pitcher Eliaser Hernandez, who was out due to injury, started pitching in the second division, and manager Yeom Kyung-yeop already announced the return date for the match against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 30th.
Coen Win will say his final goodbye to LG fans in the home game against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 28th according to the rotation.
It should be a shame to let him go, but his grades are not like that. The cheers at the first appearance are getting smaller.
It's four appearances now, and the disappointment is growing.
Koen Win started in an away game against the Lotte Giants in Busan on the 22nd and became the first losing pitcher with eight hits, two walks, and seven runs (six earned) in three ⅓ innings.
He lost eight points in the previous three games, but lost seven points in just this one game. Even if Lotte's batting lineup is so powerful, Coen Win showed a different appearance than before on this day.
My condition itself was not good. In the first two games, he had no walks, and in the third game against KT Wiz on the 17th, Koen Win, who suddenly gave up two walks due to poor control in the fifth inning, produced a scene he had never seen before in the game against Lotte, giving a walk to leadoff hitter Jang Doo-sung at the start of the game. He then allowed a steal to the second base and allowed a walk to No. 2 Ko Seung-min, creating a crisis of first and second bases with no outs. By inducing Reyes, the third batter, to ground out in front of the second base, he caught the first runner from the second base to become a first and third base with one out, but he allowed Jeon Joon-woo to hit to the left for the first time. And No. 5 Na Seung-yeop induced a ground ball in front of the first base, but first baseman Kim Hyun-soo failed to catch it properly, and after Yoon Dong-hee's fly to shortstop, Jeon Min-jae gave up one more point due to a right-handed hit to make it 0-2.

In the bottom of the third inning, Jeon Joon-woo got on base due to a shortstop error, but when Na Seung-yeop's fly to center field, Jeon Joon-woo tagged up to second base and was out with Park Hae-min's accurate throw, and Coen Win seemed to revive. However, since then, he has been loaded with two outs with a hit and a hit ball, and even Son Ho-young gave up one run by pushing with a hit ball. In a 3-3 tie, Jang allowed a two-run heavy hit to Jang Doo-sung, making it 3-5.
Coen Win rarely caught the Lotte lineup. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he allowed the lead Reyes to hit a heavy hit and Jeon Joon-woo to hit a double against the right fence, starting with runners on second and third bases with no outs, and after catching Na Seung-yeop with a ground ball in front of shortstop, the pitchman reached his limit of 88 and was replaced by Baek Seung-hyun.
Coen Win is not a fast-paced pitcher. The maximum speed of the fastball is only 147 kilometers. Instead, it has good breaking balls and ball control.Therefore, head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "The ball is similar to Lim Chan-kyu, so if you throw it like Lim Chan-kyu, there will be a high possibility of success."
However, Koen Win's advantage, control, was not going well, and he suffered from the beginning and became the worst pitching.
Coen Win is a pitcher who LG watched with the Asian quarter in mind, which will be implemented next year. He invited him to the Arizona spring camp and trained together for two weeks, and when Hernandez was hurt, he was recruited as a temporary replacement this time to understand whether he could work in the KBO League, strengths and weaknesses, and test his chances of success. As identified, there were advantages such as ball control, but there was a weak durability of the hit rate rising sharply after the 60th pitch.
Coen Win, who is 1-1 with a 6.63 ERA in four appearances, now has to promise next with his last appearance. In order to return to the Asian quarter next season, we need to show solid impact pitching.
Will he be able to finish the game with impressive pitching in the game against Hanwha, which is competing for the lead, and promise to make a comeback next season. It's the last pitch you have to put everything on the line.
