Samsung Lions ace Won Tae-in (24) is ready to give his arm.
After the first suspended game at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 22nd, Won Tae-in met with reporters and said, “Of course, you have to throw it,” adding, “Even if you ask me to throw it from the sixth inning of the first KS game tomorrow, I’m ready.”
“I’m ready to give everything,” he said. “That’s why I didn’t start in the final regular season game, which took many wins in the single regular season.” 먹튀검증
Won was the starting pitcher for the first game of the Korean Series. However, the game was postponed one day due to rain. However, the postponed game will be postponed again and will take place on Sunday.
Won Tae-in came down after playing 66 pitches in five innings. Although the rain unfortunately cut off the quality of his pitching, it is a good thing that Won Tae-in is able to take the mound more. This is because the schedule was delayed by a day, so he gained time to recover his physical condition.
After a four-day break, Won will be allowed to play in Game 4 of the KS on Wednesday. “We have decided that he will be able to play on the fifth day as he has fewer than 70 pitches,” coach Park Jin-man said.
Won Tae-in is also strong-willed. Following the fourth round, he is ready to play until the seventh round on Tuesday, which will take place after three days of rest.
“If you think about it in a good way, I think I will be able to prepare for Game 4 in good condition because I saved the number of pitches. If you tell me to take the mound after three days off in Game 7, I will take the mound. If I have to wait for the bullpen, I will be in good condition enough to wait for the bullpen,” he said.
“Actually, it hurts a lot, but you never know when it will come. I really don’t want to miss this opportunity. Not only me but also all the players are showing off their fighting spirit,” he said.
Won played 159 ⅔ innings in 28 games, posting 15 wins and 6 losses with a 3.66 ERA and 119 strikeouts. He shared the top spot with Kwak Bin of Doosan Bears.
His momentum continued in fall baseball as well. In the second playoff game against LG held in Daegu on the 15th, he won his first postseason start by pitching seven hits, two walks, three strikeouts and one run in six ⅔ innings.
Now, he is determined to spare his arm to win the team’s championship. The game has been postponed, but he quickly erases his regret and only looks at the future games.
