KBO announced the list of 30 entries for the Korean Series between LG and Hanwha on the 25th, a day before the Korean Series. LG consisted of 14 pitchers, three catchers, seven infielders, and six outfielders, while Hanwha also organized 14 pitchers, three catchers, seven infielders, and six outfielders.
LG boldly included three new players out of 30. First-round pitcher Kim Young-woo, fifth-round outfielder Park Kwan-woo, and sixth-round pitcher Park Si-won were selected.
Kim Young-woo was a given. He played in the first team all season and played as an indispensable set-up man in the second half. He pitched in 66 games, recording 3 wins, 2 losses, 1 save, 7 holds, and an ERA of 2.40.
Park Kwan-woo caught the attention of LG fans with his spirited swing like a rookie. In the second half of the year, he played a role in giving strength to the team's batting line and played a role as a pinch-hitter while following his luck. He had a batting average of 264 (14 hits in 53 at-bats) with two homers and 13 RBIs in 39 games this season, but he played a good role with 7 hits in 19 at-bats and a batting average of 368. When he came out as a pinch hitter and hit, LG recorded 5 wins and 2 losses. In particular, he came out as a pinch hitter after Oh Ji-hwan's hit in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 4-7 against Gwangju KIA on July 22, and scored on Park Hae-min's dramatic three-run home run.
Park Siwon is an unexpected person. He pitched in two games in the first ⅓ and allowed two runs on five walks, although he did not get a hit in one inning. He cannot enter the Korean Series based on his skills and records, but coach Yeom chose it to see the future and give him a big game experience. He is a prospect with a fastball of up to 154km, and if he gets control, he will be able to play his part in the bullpen like Kim Young-woo. Analysts say he saw hope by taking a lot of training during this training camp.
For now, there is a high possibility of getting a chance to throw on the mound when the score difference is large.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's entry plan did not cause three rookies. It was the last one of the fielders. The last passenger is Lee Young-bin. There were Kim Hyun-jong and Choi Seung-min, but coach Yeom chose Lee Young-bin on Media Day, saying, `Lee Young-bin is the last player who joined the game thinking of a player who can do bunt-like operations well in the second half of the game. I hope you do a good job"The overall entry focused on how effectively it could be used in the players' roles."
LG is a team that is certain to have nine key players. There is no need to replace it unless it is absolutely necessary. In situations where one point is absolutely necessary, replacements can be made when a pinch runner goes out or hits a pinch-hit for a bunt. This means that you have to play your role properly at this time.
