If I didn't get discharged, I wonder what I would have done. LG Twins' Lee Jung-yong saved the team and played a role in tying for first place.

Lee Jung-yong joined Sangmu after helping him win the Korean Series in the 2023 season and was discharged on the 17th. He joined the first team immediately on the 18th and is playing as a must-win group. He has taken the mound in four games, with one win and two holds with an ERA of 0.00.

He took the mound as soon as he was discharged from the military. He took the mound in the top of the seventh inning with an 8-7 lead against NC in Jamsil on the 18th, but allowed two walks without a hit and recorded his first hold.

In the match against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 21st, he took the mound in the top of the fifth inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases and stopped one inning. He was driven to the second and third bases with one out due to a sacrifice bunt, but he allowed a tie with an infield grounder, but he overcame the crisis with the least number of runs as he did not give up additional points.

In the match against Suwon KT on the 26th, he took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning, trailing 2-3, and allowed one hit, but he stopped it without giving up any more on-base hits, setting the stage for a come-from-behind victory in the top of the ninth inning and recording his first win of the season with a 4-3 victory.

At the match against KIA in Jamsil on the 27th, he became the top contributor to the team's victory by preventing the crisis situation without allowing a run. After leading 3-2 with Park Dong-won's three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning, Lee Jung-yong took the mound as he was on the verge of a first and third base with one out in the top of the seventh inning. Lee Jung-yong, who met Choi Won-joon, induced a ground ball in front of the first base, and threw it to the first base as soon as first baseman Austin Dean caught it, catching third baseman Kim Ho-ryeong with a threat. With two outs and runners on second base, Lee Chang-jin, No. 1, was struck out swinging with a fork ball after a full count match to keep the gap at one point.

Later, Wisdom's solo shot in the top of the eighth inning tied the score at 3-3, but LG won 4-3 with Moon Sung-joo's infield hit in the bottom of the eighth inning, and Hanwha lost on the day and tied for first place.

Lee Jung-yong said in an interview after being discharged from the military, `I won the title in 2023 when I was there and I couldn't last year when I wasn't there. Lee Jung-yong laughed, saying, "I want to be the winning fairy."," he said, expressing his ambition to win the championship.

LG is fighting for the first place by coming back when necessary and preventing important situations well. It might be a real 'winning fairy'.
