But LG also doesn't have anything to be desired right now. This is because the closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan is blocking everything without a doubt.
Yoo Young-chan took the mound in the top of the ninth inning with a 4-3 lead in the home game against the KIA Tigers in Jamsil on the 27th, and kept his team's victory with one hit and one walk in one inning. With the victory, LG moved back to the top spot with the Hanwha Eagles, who suffered a come-from-behind loss to SSG.
It was an important game. Son Joo-young, who took his first start after the break, pitched four hits and two runs (one earned) in six innings and led by Park Dong-won's dramatic come-from-behind shot, but it was an elementary school game in the ninth inning with Moon Sung-joo's infield hit in the bottom of the eighth inning to score the winning run.
In such a game, if the finish allows a tie or reversal again, the team's atmosphere may drop.
Yoo Young-chan, who easily caught the lead Han Jun-su with a fly to left field and Kim Ho-ryeong with a fly to center field, allowed Kim Kyu-sung to hit the right field. Yoo Young-chan, who played against pinch hitter Kim Seok-hwan, paying attention to Hong Jong-pyo, was on the verge of a crisis with two outs and runners on first and second base by spraying four balls in a row after the first swing strike.
Fortunately, a 148km fastball on No. 1 Lee Chang-jin became a ground ball to the front of the shortstop, ending the game.
Yoo Young-chan had a 2.97 ERA with 7 wins, 5 losses and 26 saves and 1 hold last year, when he first finished. I went to Premier 12, but a medical check later found a microfracture of the metacarpal bone, so I have been rehabilitating while waiting for the bone to stick.
After returning to the first division, Yoo Young-chan, who was trailing 4-6 against Samsung on the 1st, took the mound with one out and runners on the 2nd and 3rd bases, but returned with no hits and no runs, won his first save against Changwon NC on the 5th with a perfect pitch in one ⅔ inning. Yoo Young-chan, who took the mound for the build-up even though he was not in a save situation with a five-point difference of 7-2 against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 8th, has one win and two saves in five games.
He had four hits, four walks and nine strikeouts in nine innings with three saves in eight games this season. The on-base allowance rate per inning is 0.89, and the piano rate is 138, showing very good performance.
He made a good break in his first KIA game this year. The team has many bad memories, with six Blon saves last year and three Blon saves against KIA alone. I had to blow away bad memories because I could meet them in the postseason, but I was able to get on the rise by making saves in important games on the first day.
LG is a vitality to the team as Lee Jung-yong, who was discharged from Sangmu on the 17th, has recently prevented him as an intermediate pitcher in an important situation. It became important to keep the lead until the ninth inning as Yoo Young-chan finished the game perfectly. Ham Deok-ju, a left-handed must-winner, also decided to join the first team on the 28th, which will strengthen the LG bullpen.
