"I think I keep getting better as I play."

What LG Twins' first foreign starter Yoni Chirinos said after winning 11 games of the season against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 27th. That's actually the case.

Chirinos, who pitched like a 'monster' with 4 wins and 1 loss and a 1.67 ERA until April, has shown a lack of stability since then. From May to the first half of July, he had 3 wins and 3 losses with a 5.00 ERA in 11 games. He threw well enough to be perfect at the beginning of the game, but came in the fifth and sixth innings and suddenly collapsed.




Rising again in the second half as the weakness was covered. In the second half, he recorded four wins and no losses with a 3.02 ERA in seven games, showing a sense of stability in the first half.

After winning 10 games with one run in seven innings against Hanwha in Jamsil on the 9th, he slowed down in two games, but got up again on the 27th against NC with six hits, no four outs, and five strikeouts in seven innings.

The reason why he was able to throw up to the seventh inning with 90 pitches in the first inning with eight pitches in the first inning and seven in the second inning. He threw 49 pitches of up to 152km, his main weapon, and threw only two fastballs, which were 149km. With 140km sliders (23) and 141km forks (16), they completely beat NC's batters, who won the game from behind the previous day. Chirinos' victory over NC left only Kiwoom to win the light bulb team.




"It's a part I always think about and go up, but I think it's better to try to pitch aggressively to hitters," Chirinos said, expressing satisfaction, "It's good that I kept trying not to lose my concentration from the first at-bat in the first inning to the last at-bat in the seventh inning."

After two outs in the bottom of the second inning, NC No. 6 Lee Woo-sung complained to the referee about Chirinos' set position was immediately corrected. The umpires admitted that they did not know when to throw the ball because they had been in set position before getting the autograph. Chirinos then grabbed the ball with his right hand and got an autograph, took the set position and sprayed the ball. However, there was no change in pitching and the scoreless run continued until the seventh inning. Chirinos had little effect"He said "I heard the story and changed it and threw it "

There was no crisis of scoring rights, but the only bases loaded with two outs were in the bottom of the sixth inning. Even this, he passed the scoreless game by treating Chun Jae-hwan, who hit a home run the previous day, with a ground ball in front of third base. Chirinos continued to aggressively try to catch the outcount because it was a crisis, but it was already two outs`," he said, explaining how to escape the crisis.




New foreign pitcher Anders Tolhurst is attracting attention for his tremendous pitching with three wins, no losses and a 0.50 ERA in three games. Some even ask if the first starter of the postseason will become Tolhurst.

Chirinos didn't care. "When I climb the mound, I just have to do what I have to do, and Tolhurst also has to do his part. The most important thing is the team's victory. I'm only thinking about that part."

He also has postseason experience in the U.S. "I played in the postseason with Triple-A in 2017, 2018, and 2020 and won the championship. Chirinos also went on to win the Major League Division Series and explained, "That's why I'm saying that the team's victory is more important than the first starter."

Lean on fans' support in the postseason. Chirinos, who said `South Korea's cheering is much better than the U.S.,' said, `Thanks to the fans, Korea is much better. I'm looking forward to it.
