LG Twins 'Native Ace' Lim Chan-kyu has won 10 games for three consecutive years.

Lim Chan-kyu started against SSG Landers in the 2025 KBO League at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 18th and pitched six scoreless innings.

Lim Chan-kyu took the lead in his team's 6-1 victory. He has won 10 games (3 losses) in the season. He has a 2.69 ERA in 133 ⅔ innings in 22 games this year. After 14 wins in 2023 and 10 wins in 2024, he proved 'steadiness'. He ranks first in ERA, first in innings, and second in multiple wins among domestic players.




Lim Chan-kyu dominates the league with a slow aesthetic in the era of the `Arrest Revolution.' On the 18th, the maximum speed of the fastball was only 142 kilometers. Nevertheless, he pitched six innings with 93 pitches. There were 61 strikes. The breaking balls, including 30 changeups, 25 curves, and 12 sliders, were mixed evenly.

Lim Chan-kyu said, `I feel so good about winning 10 games for 3 consecutive years. It's proof that it's consistent. I've wanted to do it since I was young. It wasn't something that I wanted to do."

Lim Chan-kyu made his debut in 2011. In his 16th year in the professional league, he became a pitcher with 10 wins for three consecutive years. Lim Chan-kyu won 11 wins and 10 wins in 2018 and 2020, respectively.




Lim Chan-gyu has been consistent like this as he has matured mentally since 2023. It is more important to do it for the next four years, five years, and six years. Still, I feel very good, he said with joy.

One thing Lim Chan-kyu emphasized was that you should make him hit, not make him hit.

Lim Chan-kyu said "Unless it's an impossible situation, the most important thing is to make sure you hit the batter. You have to find the results and find the process within it. I paid the most attention to that part."

Strikeout is good, but the number of pitches increases. In the long run, innings, the most important virtue of a starter, will be reduced.

Lim Chan-kyu said, `Last year, I had a desire to strike out. Then, throw two or three more balls. If it's not a really difficult situation, I'm going to throw it so that the batter can hit it in the two strikes. The number of in-play balls increased, but the number of strong balls decreased and the number of pitches decreased", he explained.

Lim Chan-kyu is arithmetically 170 innings. Lim Chan-kyu's career high is 147 ⅔ in 2020.

LG is on the verge of a 10-win trio of native starters, led by Lim Chan-kyu. Foreign pitcher Chirinos came on a first-come, first-served basis for 10 wins. It was followed by Lim Chan-gyu. Lim Chan-gyu first broke 'Nine count'. Song Seung-ki and Son Joo-young have nine wins side by side.

Lim Chan-kyu said, `Anyway, 10 wins is a personal record, but the team also won. Of course, team victory is the most important thing. If all four of us win 10 games, I think we were that strong starting team, so let's do it together?I'm doing X? X," he said with a smile.
