Following Koo Bon-hyuk, Choi Won-young. Defensive fairies are gathering 'the energy of the universe'. He defended his team's winning streak with a super catch at the bottom of the ninth inning.

Choi Won-young played as a pinch runner for Kim Hyun-soo in the top of the eighth inning against Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 26th and played an important defense in the bottom of the ninth inning.

After one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, he ran forward and caught Cave's line drive ball, and Kim Ki-yeon's ball ran back and caught it near the fence.




At first, it looked like a home run ball, but Choi Won-young ran to the end and Choi Won-young ran to catch it at the end.

Choi Won-young's quick feet and judgment of the ball made it look easy to catch, but it was a well-stretched ball that could have been caught or missed if there were other defenders.

On the 25th, Koo Bon-hyuk was a super hero.




In the bottom of the ninth inning, with one out and runners on the second and third bases, he quickly rushed Kim Dae-han's slow ball and threw it straight to first base to get out by a short distance, and Lee Yoo-chan's foul ball stepped on the bullpen fence on the third base and made a super catch to catch the ball falling into the bullpen.

Coincidentally, the point is that the ball went to the best defense player in LG.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Bon Hyuk is the best defense player. He is second to none in the national team of 10 teams. A ground ball is also safe if it was Moon Bo-kyung. It was a match because Bonhyuk took the ball out of his glove quickly. Cheek removal is the best in our country. Among the players I've seen, it's the second fastest after Kang Jung-ho. His wrist is also good, so the ball goes strong." He explained why he was able to make Kim Dae-han's ground ball out.

Choi Won-young is also a player recognized by Yeom in outfield defense. He is considered a player who can replace Park Hae-min's defense to some extent. It is difficult to replace Park Hae-min due to his weak hitting ability, but he can get a chance if he gains experience.

LG continued its six-game winning streak and narrowed the gap with the No. 1 Hanwha Eagles from 5.5 games to 3 games, starting a full-fledged pursuit. It was possible because the backup members played baseball defending well.
