Lim Chan-kyu of the LG Twins, who was a weak man in autumn, transformed into a strong man in the postseason last year.
Until the 2023 Korean Series, Lim Chan-kyu took the mound in six games in the postseason and was not very good with a 1-1 record and 4.97 ERA. One win was a relief win obtained in the wild card match against Kiwoom in 2020.
However, he became a winning pitcher in both the second and fifth semi-playoff games against KT Wiz and the third playoff games against the Samsung Lions last year. He stood tall as a certain autumn man by leading three of LG's four postseason wins. He didn't just become a winning pitcher. He allowed only three runs (two earned runs) in a total of 16 ⅔ innings, showing an iron wall with an ERA of 1.08.
So I have high expectations for this Korean series. If he throws the same pitching as last year's postseason in the Korean Series, he will be able to lead the team to victory.
Lim Chan-kyu, who continued his good trend throughout this season and showed consistency in double-digit wins for three consecutive years, was disappointed at the end of the season. Since winning his 11th win of the season against KIA on Aug. 23, he has been a losing pitcher in all four appearances. The team lost as Lim Chan-kyu allowed eight hits and five runs (four earned runs) in five innings, although it was seen as an opportunity to confirm the most anticipated victory in the Daejeon Hanwha match on September 29.
At that time, he didn't look very well even though he came out after taking a two-week break. After the season ended, Lim Chan-gyu honestly said that he had pain in his neck. "The bile symptoms continued to be subtle. It didn't heal perfectly until the end of the seasonNevertheless, Lim Chan-kyu said, `I don't want to use it as an excuse. It didn't interfere much with pitching"

It may be Game 3 or Game 4, but I think I will focus on one game for now. Lim Chan-kyu said "I also told the starters, "Let's do our best in the given role with responsibility in one game." "Because it's a short-term game, he said that he should be able to go up and throw long innings with the mindset of catching each and every batter well instead of going up from the beginning after watching long innings."
He made his first Korean Series appearance in Game 3 against KT in 2023, but it is regrettable that he went down early with six hits, three walks, four strikeouts and one run in three ⅔ innings. Lim Chan-kyu said "If a pitcher went down like that, he would have felt a lot better. "I was also disappointed " He added, "Still, I passed the baton with the least number of runs, and I was not good enough because Game 3 (8-7 wins) was such a historic day for our team, but I think I started well so that the team could win because the opponent was also an ace (Benjamin)." Then "This time, I think it's important to prepare better than then and throw better than then."Experience is important in autumn. I really failed a lot, and I succeeded last year. I've been able to organize my thoughts in a lot of ways. I think I can prepare well. I don't know what the result will be, but I think I can go out because I'm ready."
For Lim Chan-kyu, the only victory in the postseason is the Korean Series. Will Elin be an emotional Korean Series winning pitcher.
