He's only 21 years old trying to get ERA + 30 holds in 1 point range? I was embarrassed to have an interview

SSG Landers manager Lee Sung-yong is running the strongest and most consistent bullpen in the league this season. In particular, the must-win group guarded by Kim Min, Lee Woon, Noh Kyung-eun, and Cho Byung-hyun is almost 'Wailing Wall' from the other team's point of view. It's hard to break down.
Beneficial growth is at the heart of it. A high school graduate rookie with the 5th overall ranking in the first round of 2023. Since joining the team, he has steadily gained opportunities to play in the bullpen in the first team, but the ups and downs have been too great over the past two years. This is why head coach Lee Soo-yong also spared no criticism with affection over Lee Eui-woon last year, when he was in his first year in office.
But this year, in his third year, he became a completely different pitcher. During off-season individual training, he made his body well in Kim Kwang-hyun's 「KK Minicamp" and received a lot of help from team training parts and pitching coaches to avoid following his regrets over the past two years. In addition, as the power of the main weapon change-up has been strengthened, there are various weapons that can be used while sharpening the completeness of the breaking ball to change-up, slider, and curve by installing sliders learned from Kim Kwang-hyun. The fastball is also effective on both sides, shooting 150 kilometers easily.
Lee Ro-woon, who had maintained a 0-point ERA until mid-June and a 1-point ERA until the end of August, was shaken by four hits (two home runs) during ⅔ innings against Incheon NC on August 31, and his ERA soared to 2.27. It was the only mound he showed ups and downs after throwing well all season.

Once shaken, the coach still trusts him. Lee Ro-woon, who took the mound in the next game immediately after a day off, lived up to that expectation by recording one hit, one strikeout and no run in one inning. Another hold was added in the match against KIA in Gwangju on the 3rd. Lee Ro-woon, who has already reached 25 holds of the season, is still maintaining the league's top bullpen performance with 5 wins, 5 losses and 1 save and a 2.20 ERA.
Lee Woon "A bullpen should be thrown again the next day, whether it's good or bad. "I had to make up for it in the very next game, so I and the team were plus, so I threw more concentrated."
"I'm glad that I don't seem to lose consecutive games this year," he said. "Even if I throw the most innings since my debut, I don't feel hard because he manages it well." I'm okay physically, but my fastball ears seemed to fall a little bit. But I'm not a pitcher who only plays fastball like Byung-hyun, so I don't have much difficulty managing it," he said candidly.
There were a lot of things I felt deeply in my wandering, not wandering, over the past two years. It's a great opportunity to become a main member of the first team as soon as you debut. However, over the past two years, it has been a shameful performance to look back on. This is why he couldn't raise his head properly during the interview before leaving this year's spring camp.

In particular, senior Noh Kyung-eun, who is 20 years apart from Lee Won-woon, plays a big role in taking the center stage in this bullpen. He said "Kyung-eun, even if we play Blon or shake, there are more games you can prevent. They say, 'Don't worry because there are days like that five times a season unconditionally.' Kyung-eun is such an amazing person. "I respect you for maintaining your skills like this even though you're still the best player in the team. "Our team's bullpen is No. 1 overall, so all pitchers try to do better with pride."," he smiled.
His goals this season are a one-point ERA and 30 holds. For a one-run ERA, he has to pull out with no runs in almost every game he takes the mound, and he has five holds left.
Lee Won-woon "In fact, it's not about paying attention to the ERA. It'd be great if it was 1 point, but it didn't go down very well. "I really want to do those two this year," he said with a twinkle in his eye.
Of course, the team's fall baseball takes precedence over personal records. He had a taste of baseball in the fall of 2023 when he was a rookie, but he couldn't play. Lee said, `I only felt the scent back then, but going to autumn baseball itself is too important as a baseball player. We have a lot of seniors who have a lot of autumn experience. Of course, I have to do well, but I think there will be better results if I trust my seniors and think 'bonus game' and relax. I don't want to be too nervous. I want to do my best to get my team to the postseason"I vowed.
