The Samsung Lions meet the LG Twins' new ace Tolhurst with six left-handed batters.

In the final game of the season against LG at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th, Samsung formed the starting lineup with Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (left wing), Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Kang Min-ho (fosu), and Kim Ji-chan (middle fielder). Only Lee Jae-hyun and Park Byung-ho and Kang Min-ho are right-handed hitters, while all others are left-handed hitters.

Lee Jae-hyun will play as a top hitter in two consecutive games following the match against Changwon NC on the 18th. In the match against NC, he played well with two hits and one point in five at-bats.




LG Tolhurst is playing as LG's winning contractor with 5-1 losses and a 1.54 ERA in six games this year. This is his first appearance against Samsung.

However, the data that Tolhurst played six games in the KBO League was a little weaker for right-handed hitters.

The hit rate was 230 (14 hits in 61 at-bats) against right-handed hitters, and the hit rate was 1702 (11 hits in 64 at-bats) for left-handed hitters. He also allowed two home runs to right-handed hitters. The POPS is 0.748 against right-handed hitters and 0.435 against left-handed hitters.




Whether the data of the six games will go according to the data or whether Samsung's batting lineup will cope with Tolhurst's ball well will be the point of the match.

The fourth-place Samsung, which is 1.5 games ahead of the joint fifth-place KT Wiz and Lotte Giants, started Won Tae-in, who pitched the best against LG. Won Tae-in has 11 wins, 4 losses and a 3.26 ERA in 25 games this season, but he had two wins, no losses and a 2.50 ERA in three games against LG. He also threw well in Jamsil. He pitched four times in Jamsil against LG and Doosan and recorded three wins, no losses, and an ERA of 2.05. Ariel Furado can be said to be Samsung's best ace, but he lost only four games against LG without winning.
