I knelt to Tolhurst to throw it in the seventh inning. She's all-in-one for today's championship. I'll just enjoy a week to win for the second year in a row

It can be said that it is the achievement of LG and Yeom's win-win. LG with good power has won two championships with Yeom's resourcefulness.
Few baseball players expected LG to win before the start of this season. The defending champion KIA Tigers were considered the absolute first-place team, and LG is mentioned as a team to meet in the Korean Series.
However, LG ranked first with a weak bullpen due to strong starters and hits, and even gave up the top spot to Hanwha, but it overturned the 5.5 game gap in the second half with a stormy run and finally won the regular league title. In addition, the Korean Series, which met Hanwha, also won with 4 wins and 1 loss due to the strength of starting and hitting, which is an advantage.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who smiled brightly with the trophy, came into the interview room
-How do you feel about winning.
▶There were a lot of difficulties during the season, but I think our front desk, coaching staff, and team communicated and filled the difficulties with each other, not because they were outstandingly good at winning, but because they shared their hearts with each other within the fence of the team. So I think it's meaningful. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the front desk, coaching staff, and the team for winning twice during the three-year contract. And I'm very happy that I made a reward to Koo Kwang-mo and Koo Bon-neung, the acting owners who supported and watched the LG Twins with affection.
And thanks to the fans who gave passionate support regardless of away and home for a season, they were able to cheer up even when difficulties came, and the team was able to cheer up thanks to their encouragement rather than criticism. Thank you for your enthusiastic support during the season.
I'll just enjoy it for a week. He won in 2023 and finished third in 2024. After winning, I will prepare right away so that I can stand here next year through communication with the coaching staff and the front desk.
-The hardest part is.
▶It was very difficult to prepare for a month when Hong Chang-ki and Austin were missing together. In addition, it was difficult for Ji-hwan because he was not good, but everyone, including Shin Min-jae, Moon Bo-kyung, and Kim Hyun-soo, united and filled it well. In addition, Koo Bon-hyuk played his role well as a backup starter, filling Hong Chang-ki's gap well. Another difficult part was the bullpen. Even though the middle pitcher did not make it as planned and had injuries, he held out well with two or three players, which was the driving force to win the regular league that could cheer up at the end.
-There's a story that the style has changed a lot this season.
▶I've had the perception that I'm running, but I never move when I'm hit well. He was a pitching hitter this season, but our team's slugging ability improved and the on-base percentage was good. There is also a reduction in playing, thinking that there should be no more injuries as there are injured players. The same goes for next year. If the lineup doesn't break, I'll move, but I'll do it depending on the situation. What I emphasized to our players is that the color LG should have is D-Tale and a tricky team. No matter which team you go with, it's making you think it's hard to play with LG. I felt that I became stronger during the Korean Series. It is a season that instilled that our players have the power to endure in crisis and crisis and made us look forward to it.

▶I'm confident in yesterday's game. I thought three wins were the most important. And I thought I had to finish it today, and I was in an atmosphere of being chased because I had a lot of bases at the beginning of the game, but because I won three games, I thought I could win today if I continued the trend and scored the first point and won. In fact, Tolhurst threw until the sixth inning and said he was tired, but I asked him to kneel down. Let's go for one more episode. You have better ball power than our bullpen, so I asked you to go one more inning. Thank you for saying that Tolhurst will throw it with a smile. Watching him throw in the sixth inning, he thought that Deok-ju, Jin-sung, and Tolhurst, who we have, are more likely to block than Seung-gi. If the number was over 90, I would have changed it, but even if it was over 90, I might have knelt down.
-Is there anything we need to do to win next year.
I think the ▶ team will catch Park Hae-min and Kim Hyun-soo. If Kim Hyun-soo is placed in the middle and Lee Jae-won is raised, the team will be able to become stronger. I don't think it will shake much even if the injured person comes out. We are a team that needs to be nurtured with performance, but the hardest thing this year was the middle pitcher, so we are trying to raise about two rookie pitchers while making Kim Young-woo do well next year. We will prepare Lee Jung-yong, Hamdeokju, and Jang Hyun-sik well in the winter and upgrade them to the next level so that they can stand here. If Kim Yun-sik returns in May next year, it will be good to prevent the overload of selection and run the season if he throws once every 10 days as a sixth starter or makes about 15 games in a year while making good use of it as a sixth starter. Preparation does not mean that baseball is doing well, so more than that, I will prepare for the second consecutive year's championship by preparing with the coaching staff's power analysis team.
-The renewal of the contract.
▶The club gave me a definite answer about the renewal of the contract, but there was nothing to say about the amount. I think Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, President Kim In-seok, and General Manager Cha Myung-seok will take good care of them.
