He's a scary newcomer. In the first half alone, he was 8-5 with a 3.39 ERA.

He started 17 games and played 93 innings without injury. He is responsible for at least five innings every game. Following Son Joo-young's release last year, LG released another hit '5th starter '.

However, the possibility of this year's Rookie of the Year award remains unknown. It's because Ahn Hyun-min (KT Wiz) appears in 'reality Mr. Go'




In the first half of the year, Ahn Hyun-min hit 356, hit 16 home runs, 53 RBIs, and drove in a 1.113 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS). Although he has yet to meet the regulation because he has only 260 at-bats, he is already tied for fifth in the home run category (second in the domestic league) in cumulative batting records and 11th in RBIs.

Ahn Hyun-min's impact is strong, but Song Seung-ki is also not behind in terms of records. It is difficult to make a direct comparison because the positions of pitchers and batters are different.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met at Jamsil Stadium on the 18th, laughed, saying, `Wouldn't it be more helpful for each other to have a rival?'

"Ahn Hyun-min and Song Seung-ki, won't they develop further as they compete. From Song Seung-gi's point of view, he will want to do better in the second half and win the Rookie Award. Of course, we want Seung-gi to receive it, but KT will think Ahn Hyun-min is right to receive it."

When asked about the rookie award, Song Seung-ki said, 'It's good to get it, but I won't be greedy' reveals what's inside. In response, director Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `That could be a really good attitude"I welcomed him.

"Baseball never goes well just because you want to do well. Doing what you do is most likely to succeed. "(Song) If Seung-gi does what he has to do on the mound, it will naturally lead to good results."




At the start of the second half, LG will play four consecutive games against the Lotte Giants 'Elotrasico'. However, the previous day's game was canceled due to rain. The second game on this day is likely to be held normally unless additional rain falls.
