NC starter Shin Young-woo was substituted in the third inning. Shin Young-woo, a third-year first-round prospect, started the home game against LG at Changwon NC Park on the 27th and recorded two hits (one home run), five walks, two strikeouts, and four runs in two ⅓ innings.
Initially, he was supposed to prepare Mok Ji-hoon on this day, but his elbow condition was not clear yet, so he decided to wait and see and prepare for an alternative selection. The pitcher Lee chose was Shin Young-woo.
Shin Young-woo is a promising fastball player who graduated from Kyungnam High School and joined the team as the fourth-ranked player in the first round in 2023. He consistently takes the mound in the second division as a starting resource and occasionally gets a chance in the first division, but his ball control is not good enough to display his expected potential.
Last year and this year, he pitched in eight games in the first team and lost only three games without a win. He pitched 17 ⅓ innings, 13 hits, and 24 walks. There were 17 strikeouts, but there were too many walks. As a result, there were many runs and the ERA was 9.35.
Recently, he started as a bullpen pitcher in the second division, but this time he will throw again in the first division as an alternative starter.
There were disagreements within the team over this start. The coaching staff expressed their opinions on turning into bullpen pitchers for the rest of this year.
Lee was fine when he threw in the middle in the second division. So there was a question about going to the middle"But what our team needs now is a starter, not a bullpen. And what we expected from Shin Young-woo is a starter. It was Shin Young-woo's own request that made him throw it for a while in the middle. I'm still thinking of Shin Young-woo as the starting pitcher. It is also possible to use it as a bullpen pitcher during the expanded entry in September, but now there is no time for Shin Young-woo to come up unless he is a substitute starter. That's why I insisted on it."

Director Lee said, `The other candidates were Kim Tae-kyung and Choi Sung-young. "Kim Tae-kyung is also a good pitcher for the LG match. LG hitters are rather good at pitching ace pitchers with fast ball speed and good control." However, LG hitters sometimes struggle with pitchers with slightly jagged control. Shin Young-woo is the most suitable pitcher on our team. You don't know where the ball will come from. He said, "He is not an easy pitcher if he is hooked on ABS."
Manager Lee hoped Shin Young-woo would play aggressively against LG hitters. "I'm not going to change it if I get hit." But if you keep playing ball, you have to change it. It's for the player's own mental strength."
The result was different from Lee's expectations. A straight walk to lead Shin Min-jae in the top of the first inning. Fortunately, Moon Sung-joo struck out swinging in a full count match. He even read the video of the check swing, but it was confirmed that the head crossed the baseline.
Shin Young-woo found stability, but Austin hit Shin Young-woo's 154km fastball and hit a two-run shot over the left fence. Still, Shin Young-woo grounded out Moon Bo-kyung in front of the shortstop and Oh Ji-hwan in front of the first base and passed the first inning.
The beginning of the second inning was also disappointing. He started after allowing consecutive walks to lead Koo Bon-hyuk and Park Dong-won, and gave up one point with a sacrifice bunt to Chun Sung-ho and a sacrifice fly to left field to Park Hae-min. Shin Min-jae was allowed to walk straight again to reach first and second base with two outs, but he struck out Moon Sung-joo again to finish the second inning. The number of pitches was 50 until the second inning. In contrast to LG starter Chirinos throwing only 15 pitches until the second inning.
I couldn't get past the third inning. He caught Austin with a fly to right field and put out the leadoff batter for the first time, but he gave up a walk to Moon Bo-kyung and was hit to the right by Oh Ji-hwan. In the end, the replacement is decided.
Second pitcher Cho Min-seok, however, both the first pitch and the second pitch thrown to the first batter Koo Bon-hyuk became wild pitches, and Moon Bo-kyung came home and scored. Shin Young-woo's loss increased to four points.
Shin Young-woo threw 21 fastballs of up to 155km on the day, 33 sliders of 142km, 11 curves of 137km, and one forkball of 140km.
