"I'm proud. It's an honor to be part of such a strong must-win group."

For SSG Landers Lee Woon (21), 2025 is a huge turning point.

He wore an SSG uniform in the first round two years ago, and was used as a major bullpen in 50 games in his first year and 62 games last year. However, for the second consecutive year, he only had an ERA in the mid-to-late five-point range.

This year is completely different. He is responsible for 5 wins, 5 losses, 1 save, 27 holds, 67 ⅓ innings in 67 games, boasting a solid 2.14 ERA. Kim Min-Roh Kyung-eun plays a key role in the SSG's powerful must-win group, which leads to Cho Byung-hyun. He also played in the All-Star Game.

Lee Ro-woon, whom I met at Changwon NC Park, said "I'm very satisfied that the results are coming out as we prepared hard." I'll do my best to finish the season with a better ranking," he said, holding himself together.

"I changed my fastball grip last winter, changed the way I threw sliders, adjusted my changeups, and practiced more curves. I wanted to be born again."

This year, SSG continued to stay in the middle despite injuries and sluggishness of key hitters, including Choi Jung and Herredia, and succeeded in making the 8th overall (hit in August) is also a powerful bullpen. When the solid starting team, which leads to Anderson-White-Kim Kwang-hyun, finished the foundation, a strong must-win team was put in from the sixth inning at the earliest.

At the same time, he strengthened his stomach and saved his consecutive battles as much as possible. This season, the SSG bullpen's three consecutive throws were made only once each by Lee Ro-woon and Han Doo-sol's No-kyung, Park Si-hoo and Kim Min. No player has exceeded 20 consecutive throws. Even in multi-inning, Noh Kyung-eun and Park Si-hoo (11 times or more) are the most.

Coach Lee Sung-yong certainly saved it when he saved it, and led the season without difficulty. If possible, changing pitchers at the start of the inning and leaving one inning intact also contributed to raising the morale of bullpen pitchers and building responsibility. Thanks to this, the bullpen is highly dependent, and the must-win group still throws powerful fastballs even at the end of the season.

Lee Woon "It's my first time doing well this year. Noh Kyung-eun looked back, "It feels good to play with seniors who have been doing well consistently like seniors, Kim Min-hyung and Cho Byung-hyun, and I am very proud of the praise for being a strong must-win team."

"I've had a lot of first-team opportunities since the first year, but honestly, I kept missing them. I also remember the director pushing me hard. I wonder how frustrated it must have been that I couldn't live up to my expectations. Now I think I know a little bit what to do. (Roh) Kyung is very helpful if you just follow your senior. It's so nice to have a good example right around."

Noh Kyung-eun nags her juniors harshly, or what? X?I'm not the type of senior who does X. He silently does his routine day by day. However, Roh Kyung-eun, who has gone through a lot of trial and error, is the know-how to play as a must-win group on the first-team stage even at an age beyond this difficulty. Lee Woon smiled broadly, saying, `Look and copy hard, and I'll ask you if you have any questions.'

Last year, SSG failed to play in the fall baseball by just one game. It was not an easy season for coach Lee Soo-yong to shed tears unknowingly at a meeting with the players after the last game. Coach Lee Soo-yong said, `I think I cried because the players worked really hard, but I felt guilty that it was because of me, and I don't know why. The meaning of the tears seems to have reached the players rather well this year. A memory that I will never forget for the rest of my life."

It was also intense for Lee Woon. When he was a rookie, he advanced to the semi-playoff by ranking third in the regular season, but was eliminated with three losses without a win. Lee Rowoon, who was a rookie, didn't even get a chance to play. Unfortunately, the team stopped at the threshold of fall baseball last year. It is all the more special to see his team, which has already risen to third place by adding his own strength to the door.

"SSG has a team color called a strong team in the fall. I'm really looking forward to it. I think it's a bonus stage and I want to show you my changed side of me properly."
