I was curious about LG's new finish when Ko Woo-seok, who was a built-in finish for the LG Twins, announced his entry into the U.S. after winning the Korean Series in 2023.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop finished off Yoo Young-chan, who played in the first division for the first time in 2023. Having recorded 12 holds, it didn't seem so great on the record, but the bold pitching shown in the Korean Series received high marks.
At that time, he contributed to the team's come-from-behind victory by allowing no hits in two ⅓ in the second game and one hit and one walk in two innings in the third game.
The evaluation was right. Although it was his first closing season last year, Yoo Young-chan had a 2.97 ERA with 7 wins, 5 losses, 26 saves and 1 hold, and this season, he led his team to a regular league championship with 2 wins, 2 losses, 21 saves and 1 hold average of 2.63 despite throwing since June due to a microfracture injury in his elbow.
Now, he is going to finish the Korean Series, which was a stage where he was able to be selected as the final.
Yoo Young-chan said, `It's a pity that I couldn't play the full season because of the injury. I'm sad that I could have done better if I hadn't been hurtAfter expressing regret over the injury he suffered last year, "I tried to recover well from what I threw during the season during the break, and I think I'm done recovering. I think we're preparing well for the Korean series," raising expectations for the Korean Series.

When asked about the Korean Series two years ago, he smiled shyly and said, `There were some things I threw without knowing anything at the time,' said Yoo Young-chan. `Now that I have some experience, I think I feel a little more burdened than then.'
I'm trying to get my mental side right. Yoo Young-chan says, `It's not like a person's choice. Just like the season, I think it's just one game, one of many games, and that's how I feel"He said, "I'm just going to go up to the mound and throw the ball away, regardless of whether I'm good or bad."
In the regular season, he pitched well to both Hanwha and Samsung. In the game against Hanwha, he did not record a win or loss in three ⅔, but he showed stability with one hit, one walk, four strikeouts and no runs in three ⅓ innings, and in the game against Samsung, he pitched in five games and recorded one win and two saves, allowing two hits, two walks and six strikeouts in five ⅓ innings. I don't think you'll be worried because there were no runs against both teams.
An opportunity to become a pitcher who will end the Korean Series. But Yoo Young-chan "I think it's still a long way off to think about it"I want to throw well in the first game and get the first step right," he said.
