LG Twins 'No. 1' Lim Chan-kyu achieved five wins (1 loss) of the season. At this rate, he is on pace to win 21 games in the season.

What's more surprising is that Lim Chan-kyu threw it with all the energy. What is more surprising than this is that he did not delay the fan service promised to about 50 intuitive fans selected through the post-match event and did it with a smile.

Lim Chan-kyu started against SSG Landers in the KBO League in the 2025 season at Jamsil Stadium on the 3rd and pitched six innings of one run. LG won four to one. He escaped five consecutive losses and secured the lone lead.




Starting this year, LG has prepared a special event for the weekend game. Audiences who win the inning shift time electronic display event are invited to the ground directly after the game. There are approximately over 50 people and about 20 teams. They have the opportunity to take separate photos with the trainee. We also take a group photo at the end.

It is a precious opportunity to give fans great memories. From a player's point of view, it can be cumbersome depending on the individual's disposition. Even if you are not in normal condition due to body aches, you can postpone it to another player.

However, Lim did not disappoint the fans. After becoming the vanguard of losing consecutive games, he went through broadcast interviews, finished the ground stage interview, and took pictures with fans one by one.




Lim Chan-kyu said "I was in worse condition than usual because of my flesh. He threw with confidence in the defenders behind him. The team is losing consecutive games, so I thought let's focus a little more. I was able to cheer up thanks to the cheering and cheering of the fans on the mound", he expressed his feelings.

Lim Chan-kyu cleared only 82 pitches until the sixth inning. He also took the mound in the seventh inning.

The match against Han Yu-seom, his own 'nemesis', was regrettable. He gave Han Yu-sum a walk. Han Yoo-som hit his first at-bat double to Lim Chan-kyu on the day and hit his second at-bat, but he was out in a straight line.




Lim Chan-kyu was replaced by Kim Jin-sung with the person in charge at first base. Kim Jin-sung and Kim Kang-ryul threw one more run in the seventh inning. It was recorded as Lim Chan-kyu's earned run.

Lim Chan-kyu misled SSG's batters by combining fastballs and curve change-up sliders in various ways.

In particular, he struggled so hard that the maximum fastball speed was only 143km.

Lim Chan-kyu said "Overall, it didn't go the way the control wanted it to go. In particular, the fastball didn't work. I thought I should throw it in the strike zone as much as possible. (Park) Dong-won recognized it quickly and led well. I think all the team members were more focused because they wanted to break the losing streak."

He didn't forget to thank his fans. "When the team lost or won, the fans came and cheered for us and gave us courage," he said, bending his head down.
