How can you do this even after taking a three-week break? I can't believe LG is solving long homework. It was a new record of 21 points in the first and second games and the highest number of points scored by the first-place team in the regular league

In the end, the LG Twins erased even the only weakness of the regular league winning team.

In the all-time single-league Korean Series, the regular-league winning team scored the most points in the first and second games. LG won 8-2 in the first game and 13-5 in the second game. He scored a total of 21 points in two games.

This is a new record for most points, exceeding 20 points (9 points in the first round and 11 points in the second round) recorded by the Haitai Tigers in 1991.

It completely broke the statistics so far that the regular league winning team lost its sense of hitting after more than three weeks of rest, so it couldn't draw many points at the beginning of the series.

Until now, the regular league winners have made a lot of efforts to increase the sense of hitting during the break in time for the first game of the Korean Series. Several opposing teams, including Sangmu, were found to play practice games, and Doosan even moved to Japan for practice games. However, it was not easy to hit well from the first game of the Korean Series.

In the all-time single-league Korean Series, only 10 times out of 35 times have the regular league winners scored a total of 10 points or more in the first and second games so far this year. In 2007, the SK Wyverns were scoreless in the first game, and in the second game, they lost both the first and second games by scoring only three points, and in 2013, Samsung also lost both with two points in the first game and one point in the second game.

It was not easy to adapt to the real pitcher's fast ball because he didn't play the actual game. Even if they played practice games, they didn't do their best like in the postseason, so hitters needed time to timing them.

Speed was one of the reasons why Hanwha Eagles head coach Kim Kyung-moon put up Moon Dong-ju as a starter in the first round of the Korean Series. Both Ryu Hyun-jin and Moon Dong-ju took the mound in Game 3 of the playoffs, allowing them to take the mound in Game 1 of the Korean Series, but there was also a reason that Moon Dong-ju, who sprays a fastball over 150km, is more effective in tying LG batters who are not yet familiar with the fastball.

However, LG started to timing well with Moon Dong-ju's fastball from the first game and easily solved the game. In the second game, starter Lim Chan-kyu started in the top of the first inning by giving up four runs on five hits, including two home runs, but he immediately scored five runs at the end of the second inning and continued to add points, eventually ending the game with a 13-5 victory.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "One of the important things when preparing for this Korean Series was to revive the sense of hitting. 'We did the same two years ago, and most of the first-place teams did not hit well in the first and second games of the Korean Series. I'm looking for various ways with the coaching staff to hit well from the first game" he said.

LG hitters all agreed that it was a great help to keep watching the pitching machine's ball, which sprays a fastball of more than 160km. Captain Park Hae-min said "I think we hit well from the first game because the hitting coaches prepared a lot for us, such as a machine ball with 160km in it."Coach Mo Chang-min told us to just watch, but our batters didn't watch and really hit." I think the players' motivation served as an opportunity to target Moon Dong-joo's ball. "It was the result of efforts to hit well from the first game."

In Game 3, 4, and 5, another Moon Dong-joo will play in Hanwha's foreign one-two punches, Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss. All of them are pitchers who throw fast balls over 150km. I wonder if LG hitters who scored 21 points in the first and second games will break even the Ponce-WICE that Hanwha boasts and run to the championship quickly.
