"Hanwha is a team with pitching power. I'll think about it until Game 7 and play."
The Hanwha Eagles came up until Game 5 of the playoffs, but LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop remained vigilant. Hanwha's mound, which has a bullpen full of pitchers spraying more than 150 kilometers, including Ponce, a 17-win, 16-win Weiss, veteran Ryu Hyun-jin and 162km Moon Dong-ju, and closer Kim Seo-hyun, who had 33 saves, and rookie Jung Woo-joo, who sprayed 158km, was never seen as a pushover.
Manager Yeom and veteran pitcher Park Hae-min and Lim Chan-kyu spread six fingers in total when asked how many games they expected to play on the media day held on the 25th.
Coach Yeom revealed the reason before Game 1 of the Korean Series on the 26th. Coach Yeom said, `It is a series that only once or twice can win a title with a hit like in 2023. Overall, there were a lot more mound fights in the end. "Hanwha is a team with pitching power. So I'm going to compete thinking I can make it to Game 7."
Hanwha's central batting line, which destroyed Samsung's mound in the playoffs, was also wary. Coach Yeom said, `Today's key point is not to gather runners in front of Hanwha's 3, 4, and 5.' Hanwha's center hitters were good in the playoffs. There should be no runners to throw aggressively, and only if you throw aggressively can you stop No. 3, 4, and 5. If you do it carefully, the count will be disadvantageous and you may get it right. I think the point is not to gather runners."
On this day, LG made a defensive formation with Austin as the designated hitter, Moon Bo-kyung as the first base, Koo Bon-hyuk as the third base, and Kim Hyun-soo as the left fielder. Overall, he strengthened his defense. Coach Yeom said, `After thinking about it with the coaching staff, there were many opinions that it would be better to strengthen the defense. If (former) Bon-hyuk looks at left field, he is on the same level as (Kim) Hyun-soo, so he went to strengthen the infield. "(Moon) If Sung-joo's condition comes up, Seong-ju will go to left field and Austin will go to first base" he said.

Chirinos and Lim Chan-kyu are the players who have not played on this day. Coach Yeom left open the possibility of Son Joo-young taking the mound in the first game. Director Yeom said, `It may or may not be used depending on the situation"Where to write " will be decided by looking at the game situation."
It's important to stop it, right??In the end, you have to score to win. It is important to target starter Moon Dong-ju, the playoff MVP. Coach Yeom raised his voice that he should play before the second strike.
Coach Yeom said, `First of all, it's important how to make an in-play hit by targeting Moon Dong-ju's fast ball. Fouls lead to a high number of counts. Since Moon Dong-joo's fork ball and curve are not bad, the probability decreases after two strikes, so it is important how much in-play batting he makes before two strikes. He said, "Being good at attack before two strikes is the way to win."
Austin was selected as the key player in the lineup. "Austin's batting condition is best. Also, when Austin was in a bad condition, our batting line was often lockedDirector Yeom said, "Moon Bo-kyung has improved a lot. In the process of preparing for the Korean Series, three players including Kim Hyun-soo, Oh Ji-hwan and Austin were in the best condition,' he said, explaining why Kim Hyun-soo, not Moon Bo-kyung, was placed at No. 4.
