Tolhurst and Moon Dong-ju will open the door to the Korean Series.

The LG Twins and Hanwha Eagles, who will face off in the long-awaited 2025 Korean Series, unveiled their first-round selection at the KS Media Day, a day before the first game of the Korean Series between LG and Hanwha at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 26th.

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop kept the security, but Anders Tolhurst, not Yoni Chirinos, was the starter.




As Tolhurst takes charge of the first game, Chirinos will play in the second game.

Tolhurst, who made his KBO debut during the season as Hernandez's replacement pitcher in August, was more than expected compared to his name value.

He gave a big boost to winning the regular league with a 6-2 record and 2.86 ERA in eight games. His presence was clear enough to spark controversy over who was the ace between Chirinos and Tolhurst.

Coach Yeom chose Tolhurst in consideration of the routine of Game 5, which he had to throw after three days off. Yeom said, `We considered physical strength.Chirinos is a player with a clear routine. "When I took four days off, my performance was bad", he explained the reason for the selection of Tolhurst.

Moon Dong-ju put his team in the Korean Series for the first time in 19 years with his best performance in his first fall baseball since his debut. In two games, he showed off his prowess in 'Untouchable' with six scoreless innings.

Considering Game 5, it was a choice that didn't have to be considered.

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `Moon Dong-ju threw confidently and well throughout the postseason,' adding, `I decided because I thought Moon Dong-ju was right on the date as well." The intention is to give relatively old Ryu Hyun-jin more rest and to use the best card once again in Game 5.




Starting pitchers who will be responsible for winning Game 1 with a 74.4 percent chance of winning. Tolhurst and Moon Dong-ju will face off for the fate of their team.
