KBO announced its MVP candidate in August.
Two candidates, Anders Tolhurst, a new foreign pitcher, and Yoo Young-chan, came out of LG, which regained the top spot with 16 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses and a winning rate of 750 percent in August.
On top of that, Samsung Lions Ariel Furado, Doosan Bears Yang Eui-ji, SSG Landers Guillermo Herredia and Kiwoom Heroes Song Sung-moon were listed as candidates.
Tolhurst won four games and showed tremendous pitching, with an ERA of only 0.36. Analysts say that sending Elijah Hernandez has definitely changed the flow. Yoo Young-chan pitched in 13 games in a month and made nine saves. He kept LG's victory with an ERA of 0.64.
Furado recorded 4 wins and 1 loss, threw 41 innings in six games, and Yang Eui-ji's batting average reached a whopping 4.7% in August. Heredia hit six home runs with a batting average of 396, and Song Sung-moon showed even performance in the top five in all major categories, including No. 1 hit, No. 2 batting average, No. 2 slugging percentage, and No. 4 home runs.

When I asked director Yeom who he would vote for if he had the right to vote, he didn't think about it. Coach Yeom answered "Yoo Young-chan" in less than 0.5 seconds.
Coach Yeom said, `The standard I think is a hard worker.'"Tollhurst is the starter and Yoo Young-chan is the finalist. Tolhurst pitched his game well, but Yoo Young-chan continued the flow of August."
Coach Yeom went on to say, `Even if Tolhurst had 3 wins and 1 losses, there would have been no significant impact on our team's flow. However, Yoo Young-chan's two blon saves have a huge amount of damage to the team," he said. "Yoo Young-chan came out in the eighth inning in difficult games, reversible situations, and won, blocking four outcounts, so the flow was created for us to run in August. Young-chan could not have continued this trend that Young-chan couldn't have stopped it,' he said, explaining Yoo Young-chan's contribution, which is not visible in the record.
