LG's away game against the Hanwha Eagles, which was scheduled to be held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 1st, was canceled due to rain. Son Joo-young, who was originally scheduled to start on the day, will automatically play against SSG Landers, which is scheduled to be held in Jamsil on the 2nd.
Starting pitchers are not pushed back by a day. Choi Chae-heung was scheduled to enter the SSG match on the 2nd as a substitute starter, but as Son Joo-young threw it, Choi Chae-heung's appearance became non-existent, and scheduled starters will start on the 3rd.
LG initially prepared two replacement starters in preparation for the nine-game series that will lead to Hanwha-SSG-Doosan.
As Eliaser Hernandez was injured, he recruited Koen Win as a short-term foreign player to fill the position, but due to visa issuance, the actual pitching was only made on the 30th, so he needed an alternative starter to take the mound against SSG on the 2nd, Hernandez's pitching day. The starters Kim Joo-on and Lee Ji-gang, who had already thrown on the spot, unfortunately failed.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop recently chose Choi Chae-heung, who pitched well as a starter in the Futures League. Choi Chae-heung is a left-hander who was brought in as a compensation player for Choi Won-tae, who moved to Samsung as an FA. He decided to change to a full-length control style like Lim Chan-kyu because his speed was not so fast, and threw as a starter in the Futures League, but he was sluggish in the beginning and suddenly pitched well in his recent appearance.
Choi Chae-heung, who allowed six hits (three home runs) and four runs in two ⅓ innings against Goyang on April 4, and two players allowed five hits and five runs against Hanwha on the 12th, pitched well against Samsung on the 25th, with three hits (one home run) and eight strikeouts and one run in five innings.
Coach Yeom said, `I think I've learned a little bit of control of the level of completion. I heard the change-up was good. It is said that the curve also throws two things, fast and slow, and he gave a positive evaluation to Choi Chae-heung's change. Choi Chae-heung was preparing for his first appearance in the first team at LG by joining the first team in an away game in Daejeon and pitching in the bullpen.
Choi Chae-heung threw against SSG on the 2nd and Coen Win was scheduled to make his first appearance against SSG on the 4th. If a new pitcher enters the game on the 4th, existing pitchers can take the mound after a five-day break in the three consecutive games against Doosan starting on the 5th. That's how the rotation was organized, but Choi Chae-heung of the game on the 2nd was excluded as the game was canceled due to rain on the 1st.
Coach Yeom said, `Choi Chae-heung unfortunately failed to select this time, but he told me to adjust my pace more in the second division and come up.'
