Will Choi Chae-heung of the LG Twins, who successfully transformed into 'left-handed Lim Chan-kyu', get another chance to start due to a doubleheader.

LG suffered a 2-5 upset loss against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 7th. With the loss of the game that day and the Hanwha Eagles winning, LG came down from the top spot for the first time and came in second place. Hanwha widened the gap with LG to 1.5 games with a 7-4 come-from-behind victory against Kiwoom Heroes on the 9th.

It was a painful defeat, but there was an income. It was Choi Chae-heung's good pitching as a temporary starter. Choi Chae-heung pitched a scoreless game by giving up just one hit until the fourth inning under manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's rather cold-headed game plan to immediately put in the bullpen if he was sluggish. With a 2-0 lead, Choi Chae-heung's run stopped at 1 as he gave up a walk to leadoff hitter Yang Seok-hwan in the top of the fifth inning and immediately replaced him with Kim Jin-sung at the crisis of second and third base with no outs after one run by Oh Myung-jin and Kang Seung-ho.




Choi Chae-heung was not a fast-paced pitcher. After transferring to LG as a compensation player for FA Choi Won-tae, manager Yeom recommended a change to the same style as Lim Chan-kyu. Rather than being obsessed with the speed limit, the strategy is to increase the speed of fastballs by using the speed limit between the pitches.

He practiced it in the second division, and after pitching three hits (one home run) with eight strikeouts and one run in five innings against Samsung on April 25, he got a chance to start the first division and was able to play a surprise pitching against Doosan on the 7th.

He threw a total of 57 balls, throwing 18 fastballs with 136 to 142 kilometers, 22 sliders with 126 to 136 kilometers, 6 changeups with 120 to 126 kilometers, and 11 curves with 104 to 117 kilometers.

The game between LG and Doosan at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 7th, and LG Choi Chae-heung is regretful as he gave up an RBI double to Doosan's Kang Seung-ho at the bottom of the 5th inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases.

Initially, Yeom tried to drop Choi Chae-heung to the second division immediately after starting, but the next day he was in the first division. It means I'll keep giving you a chance.

Manager Yeom gave a positive evaluation to Doosan's left-handed batters, including Jung Soo-bin, Cave Kim Jae-hwan, and Oh Myung-jin, and expressed his intention to use them as bullpen resources.

But he may be given another chance to start. As the match against the Samsung Lions in Daegu was canceled due to rain on the 9th, it will be held as a doubleheader on the 10th.




Son Joo-young and Lim Chan-kyu, who were scheduled to take the mound on the 9th, will both take the mound on the 10th.

Then, the starting pitcher will be ambiguous in the Kiwoom Heroes match in Jamsil on the 15th. On the 10th, either Son Joo-young or Lim Chan-kyu will have to take the mound after four days off.

In order to manage the physical strength of pitchers, it is best for temporary starters to go out. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about Choi Chae-heung. Among Son Joo-young and Lim Chan-kyu, who are in doubleheader, a pitcher who is considered to be in good condition and has no physical problems can take the mound against Kiwoom on the 15th, and if both are a little too much, Choi Chae-heung can be given a chance to start.

The temporary selection of Choi Chae-heung suddenly came out, making it a little easier to think about.
