LG Twins' short-term substitute foreign pitcher Coen Win said goodbye to LG after his last appearance.
Coen Win started in a home game against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 28th. Coen Win, who has replaced injured Eliaser Hernandez, has a six-week contract period of 29 days, and Hernandez's rehabilitation is going smoothly and he will take the mound against Samsung in Jamsil on the 30th, making Coen Win his last appearance in Korea on the 28th.
Coen Win is an Australian player who can come to the KBO League in the Asian quarter, which will take effect next year. With the Asian quarter in mind, LG invited him to Arizona camp in February to train together for two weeks, and when Hernandez was injured, he quickly recruited and brought him back to Korea to test and adapt.
He is 1-1 with a 6.63 ERA in four previous appearances. On the 4th, when he took his first mound, he took his first win with a quality start of five hits and three runs in six innings against SSG, and this was the best time.
In the game against Samsung on the 11th, he allowed four runs on seven hits (two home runs) in five innings, three hits, four walks, two strikeouts and one run in four ⅔ against KT Wiz on the 17th, and in the game against Lotte Giants in Busan on the 22nd, he became the first losing pitcher with eight hits, four walks and seven runs (six earned) in three ⅓ innings. After about 80 pitches, there was a disadvantage that the ball speed dropped rapidly.
I hoped to leave expectations for the Asian quarter with impressive pitching, but it was not easy. In the top of the first inning, he got a solo shot by the leader, Floral. The 144.8km fastball was hit. Since then, there has been anxiety due to the large ball flying to the outfield, but he blocked it with no hits until the second inning.

He was on the verge of becoming a losing pitcher as he was replaced with a 0-4 deficit, but the defeat was later tied 4-4. He ended his career in Korea with a 1-1 record and 7.04 ERA in five appearances in six weeks in Korea.
In a fierce battle, the extension of the 11th inning passed, and LG unfortunately lost 5-6. Although it was a short six weeks, LG had an event to say goodbye to Coen Win after the game.
Captain Park Hae-min delivered a photo frame and a record sheet against SSG on the 4th, when Coen Win became the only winning pitcher. On the coated recording paper, each player wrote a message of support to Coen Win himself.
Coen Win said to the LG fans, the team and the club's front desk who didn't leave with the microphone "I'm grateful to the club for the good opportunity. Thank you to all the team members and staff who accepted and welcomed me as a member of the team. I feel like I've been given an opportunity that's hard to experience in life. I will not forget the support of the fans who filled the ballpark." All the players took commemorative photos on the mound.
Now Coen Win has a long, long wait. Of course, he will play in the Australian League, but after the season, he will wait for LG or other KBO league teams to select Asian quarter players. The record was not very good. But if you saw his strengths, you might meet him again next year.
