Kim Tae-kyung is the main character. He is definitely an unfamiliar pitcher. After graduating from Yongma High School, he joined the NC Dinos as a first-round pick in 2020. However, he is an ordinary player with three wins, two losses and two holds with an ERA of 4.73 in 29 appearances. In this season, he pitched 10 innings in five games and is not good with an 11.70 ERA with one hold.
But why is it against LG, which is the No. 1 team and must win.
Did he give up the game. No, because it's the best card NC can play at the moment. It's LG's professional killer.
It's been a long time, but I threw well against LG. He started all three games, but there were no runs. He started in Changwon on October 17, 2021, allowed one hit, three walks, and one strikeout in two ⅓ innings, and on August 14, 2022, he became the winning pitcher with one hit, four walks, and three strikeouts in five innings. On October 2 of that year, he pitched well with two hits, two walks, two strikeouts and no runs in five ⅓ innings. He did not become a winning pitcher, but led his team to a 2-0 victory.
Currently, there is no good selection to make against LG. Riley Thompson, who became a winning pitcher with five scoreless innings against Doosan on the 26th, is in order after four days off, but he threw 94 at the time and has been consistently throwing recently, so he seems to have decided that rest is better. Last week alone, he showed a plan to raise Koo Chang-mo, who pitched four innings against KT, his fifth-place rival, on the 30th, the previous day.
Kim Tae-kyung started against KIA on September 21st and showed a stable appearance with five hits, two walks, four strikeouts, and three runs in four ⅓ innings, and he pitched well against LG in the past, so he was confident and boldly put in.
In 2022, NC manager Lee Ho-joon was the LG batting coach. I clearly remember not being able to target Kim Tae-kyung, so I was able to confidently play against LG.
If LG fails to target Kim Tae-kyung in the beginning, the game could be twisted like the match against Hanwha on the 29th or the match against Doosan on the 30th. Like the match against Hanwha on the 27th, the batting lineup must target the starting pitcher in the beginning to score the first point and take the lead in order to approach the championship.
NC, which beat KT 9-4 on the 30th to move to fifth place without a ride, cannot back down. If they win both the LG match on the 1st and the SSG match on the 3rd, they can rank fifth on their own. KT will play KIA on the 1st and Hanwha on the 3rd.
NC and LG, who cannot back down, will suffer a fatal blow.
