For LG, Chirinos (12 wins), Lim Chan-kyu (11 wins), and Song Seung-ki (10 wins) already exceeded the 10-win mark, and only Son Joo-young remained with nine wins. Son Joo-young, who won nine games against KT Wiz on July 30, did not win in the next five games.
On the 10th, his sixth attempt, he succeeded in winning 10 games against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil. On this day, Son Joo-young became the winning pitcher by leading his team to an 8-4 victory by hitting 98 pitches in seven innings with six hits (one home run), two walks, seven strikeouts, and three runs.
This is the third time that four 10-win pitchers have been born in LG. In 1994, four players including Kim Sanghoon Lee (!8 wins), Kim Tae-won (16 wins), Jeong Sam-heum (15 wins), In Hyun-bae (10 wins), and Kim Yong-soo (12 wins), Lim Sun-dong (11 wins), Cha Myung-seok (11 wins), and Lee Sanghoon Lee (10 wins) set the second record in 1998.
It was only in 1994 that he won 10 games as a starter.
This is the ninth time for 10 wins and 4 starts in the KBO league.
In 1993, Samsung achieved Kim Tae-han (13 wins), Park Chung-sik (12 wins), Sung Joon (12 wins), and Kim Sang-yeop (11 wins) for the first time, and since then, it has been born eight times, including LG in 1994, Hyundai in 1998, Samsung in 2012, Samsung in 2015, Doosan in 2016, 2018 and KT in 2020.
This is the fifth time since 2015 when the 10-team system began.
The fact that four starting pitchers won more than 10 games means that the starting lineup is good and stable. Of course, the team's performance was good. In 1993, only Samsung ranked second in the regular league, and all seven other times won the regular league.
LG, which gave birth to four starting players with 10 wins this time, has also reduced its regular league winning magic number to 11.

Son Joo-young, who was the first among his colleagues to win nine games but was the latest to win 10, expressed her honest feelings that she became increasingly nervous as her start was just around the corner. Son Joo-young seems to be fortunate to have achieved the milestone. To be honest, I worried a lot about what if I couldn't do it. I was a little nervous because I had three starts left now."
Son Joo-young said "I'm grateful that it's not easy for me to be a part of this record"I think I was able to win 10 games against a good team, a strong team. I was able to win 10 games because I was a good team with good batting and defense. Thank you to our team and thank the fielders," he honoured his colleagues.
I also thought that the fielders might be more burdened because I had 10 wins at stake. Thank you for working so hard." On this day, LG was able to give Son Joo-young a victory by scoring a large number of six points in the top of the fifth inning through active base play.
He also thanked pitching coach Kim Kwang-sam. `Coach Kim Kwang-sam comforted me a lot and took care of me a lot,' he said."I don't usually pitch on the mound, but I wanted to make a change somehow, so I threw a bullpen session on Sunday. However, when I trained while talking to coach Kim, my fastball command and curve went back to the good old days. Thank you very much."
Now, he is aiming to win the regular league and go straight to the Korean Series with a relaxed mind. Son Joo-young entered the entry in 2023 but failed to stand on the mound. Son Joo-young said, `If you go straight to the Korean Series, you have time to rest, so you can get ready to sleep then. First, we need to confirm the winner quickly"If we go to the Korean Series this time, we can go out whether it's a starter or a bullpen." I will throw hard at any position."
