What KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul often said when he played against the LG Twins last season was, "LG is hard."토토사이트
LG has so many left-handed hitters that it is faster to find right-handed hitters in the lineup. Among the nine starting lineup, seven are left-handed hitters, including Hong Chang-ki, Shin Min-jae, Moon Bo-kyung, Oh Ji-hwan, Kim Hyun-soo, Park Hae-min and Moon Sung-joo, while the only right-handed hitters are Austin Dean and Park Dong-won. However, KT has no left-handed pitcher in its bullpen.
Wes Benjamin is the only left-handed pitcher among KT's starting pitchers. While Benjamin shows good performance as an "LG killer," other pitchers such as William Cuevas and Ko Young-pyo and Um Sang-baek will not be able to compete against LG.
Even in the bullpen, right-handed pitchers make up all of the teams. Right-handed orthodox pitchers continue to move up, from Park Young-hyun to Kim Min-soo, Kim Min-dong, Son Dong-hyun, and So Hyung-jun. Still, a pitcher who throws a change-up deserves to compete with a left-handed batter.
Nonetheless, it is regrettable that there are no left-handed bullpen pitchers. LG has many fast runners such as Shin Min-jae and Park Hae-min, and is ready to run at any time because they play running baseball. If there is a left-handed pitcher, it is not easy to try to steal bases.
"LG is such a good team. Anyone who is on first base with no outs can play," Lee said ahead of Game 3 of the semi-playoff against LG at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on Tuesday. "We have no left-handed pitchers, so it would be great if a left-handed pitcher keeps us at least one inning."
Manager Lee continued, "In the game against LG, it was always important how long the starter went, and it was difficult even if the pitchers' condition fell a little," adding, "It was almost a year since I made a left-handed pitcher."
It recruited left-handed pitcher Sung Jae-hun, who was released by LG after the last season, and tried to raise existing pitchers such as Park Se-jin, Jeon Yong-joo, and Ha Joon-ho, but none of them were included in the entry for quasi-PO. Among the 14 pitchers, only Benjamin, a left-handed pitcher, is a starting pitcher.
