Ko Young-pyo, the native ace of kt wiz, who took a day off after taking the mound in the bullpen, will start the first round of the semi-playoff (semi-PO).
In response, the LG Twins predicted foreign pitcher Detrick N.S. as scheduled.
Ko Young-pyo and Ence will face off as starters in the first round of the 2024 professional baseball semi-PO at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul at 2 p.m. on the 5th.
Ko Young-pyo’s card is unexpected.
He played as a bullpen from the end of the regular season, when the fight for fifth place was fierce.
He took the mound as the team’s third pitcher against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 28th of last month and allowed one run in five innings while throwing 48 pitches, leading the team to win, and he also took the mound as the third pitcher in the fifth-place ⅔ against SSG Landers on the 1st and allowed one run in one inning with 18 pitches.
Ko Young-pyo’s bullpen continued.
As the second pitcher in the second game of the wild card game against the Doosan Bears on Thursday, he pitched one scoreless inning, contributing to his team’s victory. He pitched 14 times.
Ko Young-pyo, who has taken the bullpen three times in the past week, will start in the first round of the PO, which changed his position.
Ko Young-pyo played in 18 regular-season games this year and was somewhat sluggish with 6-8 losses and an ERA of 4.95.
He was also weak against LG. He pitched in one game this season and posted an average difference of 9.64.
Last year, he was weak with a 7.36 ERA in four games against LG and 5.19 in five games in 2022.
However, KT has something to believe in.
If Ko Young-pyo shakes early in the game, he is determined to pour out bullpen resources such as long relief Joey-hyun, Kim Min-soo, and So Hyung-joon.
KT’s bullpen pitcher lineup is exerting strong power this fall. Not a single point was lost in the first and second games of the WC decision against Doosan.
LG, on the other hand, early on, appointed N.S. as the starting player for the first game of the fall festival.
Ence is an ace with 13 wins, 6 losses and a 4.19 ERA in 30 games this season.
His three-game performance (2 wins and 4.24 ERA) since September was not bad, and he rested for as many as 12 days after the regular season game against the Doosan Bears on the 22nd of last month.
Against kt, he had an ordinary performance with two wins and a 5.25 ERA, but he is expected to display his best pitching with fresh shoulders.
However, LG has less weight in the bullpen compared to KT.
Ence has to endure as many innings as possible with the least number of runs. 메이저놀이터
It is the first time in a year that LG and KT will meet in the postseason since last year’s Korean Series.
KT will sharpen its blades of revenge, and LG will continue its trend last year until this year.
