A pretty meaningful record is about to be created for the LG Twins. It is the production of four pitchers with 10 wins.

Already, Yoni Chirinos became the winning pitcher with seven innings of one run against Hanwha in Jamsil on the 9th, and Lim Chan-kyu won 10 games for the third consecutive year with six scoreless innings against Incheon SSG on the 17th.

Now only Son Joo-young (9 wins and 6 losses) and Song Seung-ki (9 wins and 5 losses) remain.




Son Joo-young is showing a very good pace in the second half. He has a 1.19 ERA with two wins and no losses in five games. Son Joo-young, who won nine games against Jamsil KT on July 30, allowed two runs in five innings against Jamsil Doosan on the 5th, and allowed two runs (one earned run) in six innings against Jamsil Hanwha on the 10th. He pitched well in both games, but failed to win.

Song Seung-ki has one win, no loss, and an ERA of 3.54 in four games in the second half. Song Seung-ki, who won nine games against Jamsil KT on July 31, failed to qualify as a winning pitcher by allowing seven hits and two runs in four ⅔ against Jamsil Doosan on the 7th, and he collapsed in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 3-1 lead against Incheon SSG on the 16th, allowing only eight hits and seven runs (five earned) in four ⅔ innings.

In the rotation, Son Joo-young will start against Jamsil Lotte on the 20th and Song Seung-ki will start against Gwangju KIA on the 22nd.

If Son Joo-young and Song Seung-ki add one win each to achieve 10 wins, LG will produce four pitchers with 10 wins.

LG produced four 10-win pitchers in 1994 (18 wins in Sanghoon Lee, 16 wins in Kim Tae-won, 15 wins in Jung Sang-heum, 10 wins in Inhyeon-bae) and 1997 (12 wins in Kim Yong-soo, 11 wins in Im Seon-dong, 11 wins in Cha Myung-seok, 10 wins in Sanghoon Lee), and there was no after that. If four players win 10 games this time, it will be the first time in 28 years.

In particular, it will be the first time to produce four 10-win pitchers since 1998 when the foreign player system began. Since the implementation of the foreign player system, Hyundai (1998, 2004), Samsung (1999, 2001, 2002, 2012, 2013, 2015), KIA (2003), NC (2015, 2016), Doosan (2016), and KT (2020) have produced more than four 10-win pitchers. This is LG's 15th attempt. Lotte, Hanwha, SSG, and Kiwoom are still unachieved records.




Lim Chan-kyu grew up as an ace as he opened his eyes to the control of his ball control, and as new domestic pitchers such as Son Joo-young last year and Song Seung-ki this year grew, an opportunity to set a milestone was created.
