He grew steadily and became a must-win group, so he became 'Mr. Zero'.
Kim Young-woo, a high school graduate in the first round, is settling down as a reliable must-win group.
Kim Young-woo, who made headlines by spraying 156km last year when he was a senior at Seoul High School, was not selected as the front-runner due to ball control problems in his surgical career, and his name was called to the LG Twins, the last turn of the first round.
LG welcomed the pitcher, who did not have many fast-paced pitchers. Soon after, he began to raise him in the first team from the final training session, and Kim Young-woo also grew up learning from coaching staff and seniors. Kim Young-woo, who grew up in the first division from the opening entry to August, showed the standard of growth starting in the chasing group and coming up to the must-win group in the second half. And as he has grown up steadily, he is showing an unshakable appearance in the must-win group.
Kim Young-woo, who threw the second most after Kim Jin-sung, who pitched in 54 games and 69 games in the team this season, has a 1.99 ERA with two wins, two losses, one save and four holds. In August, he showed better pitching with a 0.90 ERA (one run in 10 innings) with one win and three holds in 11 games.

In the last three games, he pitched stably, allowing no runs in one inning each without a hit.
Kim Young-woo is a positive factor in the existing must-win group, including Kim Jin-sung, Lee Jung-yong, and Jang Hyun-sik, who are showing ups and downs as he settles in the must-win group.
Kim Young-woo's best strength is a fastball of up to 157 kilometers. In addition to this, the controlled slider was added, making it a clear must-win card in the second half.
Veteran catcher Park Dong-won, who is working with Kim Young-woo, also highly evaluated Kim Young-woo. Park Dong-won "Kim Young-woo has a very good ball power. I also listen well to the coach who teaches me. I think that's why I got better"I'm still young, but I don't think it's easy to do well like that, and I think it's very helpful for the team's performance because he throws it bravely even in difficult situations."
Kim Young-woo, who also took the mound in the All-Star Game, will of course experience the postseason. It is becoming a fruitful first season for Kim Young-woo, who has added a big game experience.
