It's strong against Hanwha... Where on earth is the last hero Yang Changsub? First Autumn, Why Shadows Pitcher

The best-of-five playoff against the Hanwha Eagles will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the 17th at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon.
A tough match for underdog Samsung. If you think backwards, it's a stage that you can enjoy without any pressure to lose. The difference in pressure is different from Hanwha Eagles players who must be in the Korean Series.
In the end, the difference between physical strength and burden is expected to determine where the series will be.
It is not easy for Samsung to pass three consecutive series. However, not all experts point to Hanwha's absolute dominance. It is less than Hanwha, but Samsung also evaluates that there is a 'probability'.

In fall baseball, all starters played more than six innings to minimize bullpen consumption. The average earned run in four semi-playoff games is only 1.05.
Naturally, the bullpen burden was not large. There were ups and downs, but this is the secret to being able to throw more intensively compared to the season.
In terms of figures, bullpen pitchers did not overdo themselves.
In the semi-playoff, closer Kim Jae-yoon played four innings in four games, Bae Chan-seung played two innings in three games, and Lee Ho-sung played two innings in two games.
The rest didn't finish the first inning. Left-hander Lee Seung-min saved his physical strength by playing only two games and ⅓ innings. Lee Seung-hyun and Kim Tae-hoon recorded ⅔ innings and ⅓ innings in two games, respectively.

This is because there was no chasing situation. In the two lost games, the starting pitcher also went down after more than six innings.
Left-hander Lee Jae-ik, who succeeded in speedup and joined the entry, overlapped with left-hander Bae Chan-seung and Lee Seung-min in the lead or close game.
What I'm curious about is the disappearance of Yang Chang-seop, an all-weather card. He is an all-round key on the Samsung mound.
He does his part whenever and in any situation. In August and September, when Samsung won the extreme competition for fall baseball, Yang Chang-seop was 'Last Hero'. With one win and no loss in eight games in August, two runs in 14 innings, a 1.29 ERA, two runs in 14 innings in six games in September, and a 1-1 record with a 1.29 ERA. It was a valuable performance.
The first fall baseball since joining Samsung in 2018. His first postseason appearance is being delayed. The reason is simple.
Yang Chang-seop is always a card of determination to throw long if the starter leaves before the fifth inning. Once you come out, you have to play the longest innings, so you can't take it out and use it often.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man also said of Yang Chang-seop, who disappeared from fall baseball, saying, `There is no sick or special reason at all. He explained the reason, "It's a role of waiting behind the starter, but there's no situation to take the mound."
Yang Chang-seop's disappearance means that the starters played their part smoothly.
In three games against Hanwha this season, Yang showed strength with two runs (one earned run) in six ⅓ innings and a 1.42 ERA.
Yang Chang-seop is the player who will be a true reliever on the Samsung mound, which will get tired little by little as the series goes on.
