Benjamin vs Lim Chan-gyu, KS Championship Trophy Direction 3rd Round Selection Match

Korean series with 1 win and 1 loss.

Announced as a starter for the 3rd game to be held in Suwon on the 10th.

The 2023 KBO Korean Series between KT Wiz and LG Twins is tightly contested with 1 win and 1 loss, and Wes Benjamin (30, KT) and Lim Chan-gyu (31, LG) will face off in the third game. 카지노사이트킹

After the second game of the Korean Series held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th,

KT coach Lee Kang-cheol and LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop announced Benjamin and Lim Chan-gyu as starters for Game 3, respectively.

Wes Benjamin

For KT, left-handed pitcher Benjamin, who had 15 wins, 6 losses, and an average ERA of 3.54 in 29 regular season games, took on a key role in Game 3.

This is his first appearance in five days since appearing in Game 5 of the playoffs against NC Dinos on the 5th.

Benjamin is on the starting mound every five days in this fall baseball season.

His overall KBO League postseason record, including last year’s semi-playoffs, is 4 games, 1 win, 2 losses, and an average ERA of 3.27.

Benjamin showed off his ‘Grim Reaper’-like appearance against LG this season.

He has 4 wins and no losses in 5 appearances, with an earned run average of 0.84.

Wes Benjamin tightly tied up the left-handed batters that LG is proud of.

Oh Ji-hwan, Hong Chang-ki, and Park Hae-min all had a batting average of just 0.167 (2 hits in 12 at-bats) against Benjamin,

while Kim Hyun-soo’s batting average was 0.182 (2 hits in 11 at-bats).

Moon Bo-kyung had a batting average of 0.100 with 1 hit in 10 at-bats, and Moon Seong-ju had no hits in 7 at-bats.

Players playing in the Korean Series agree that “regular season opponent records do not mean much in short-term games.”

If Benjamin overturns this perception and plays ‘as usual’ against LG, KT’s victory becomes even closer.

In response to this, LG will have Lim Chan-gyu on the starting mound as scheduled.

Lim Chan-gyu

He is an avid LG fan who has supported LG since elementary school and cried, saying, ‘I don’t want to go to school’ when they finished second in the Korean Series in 2002.

Lim Chan-gyu, who calls himself a “successful otaku,” took on the important responsibility of saving LG, which was in crisis.

In the second game, LG’s starter Choi Won-tae gave up 4 runs in ⅓ innings,

leaving the mound without even completing the first inning, and starting the bullpen early.

In Game 2, the bullpen pitchers combined for 8⅔ innings without allowing any runs, but for LG,

the best scenario is for Lim Chan-gyu to last on the mound for as long as possible.

Lim Chan-gyu took the victory every time he came out in a situation where the starting lineup collapsed at the beginning of the season and was on the mound for LG.

He played a decisive role in regaining his strength.

Having had his best year by finishing the regular season with 14 wins, 3 losses, 1 hold, and an ERA of 3.43,

he needs to repeat the comeback performance of May, when he won all 4 games.

This year, he faced KT in the regular season and did not have good results.

He had 4 games, 1 win, 1 loss, 1 hold, and an ERA of 6.61.

In the KT batting lineup, Kim Min-hyuk, Kim Sang-soo (batting average of 0.571),

Hwang Jae-gyun (batting average of 0.500) showed a strong performance against Chan-gyu Lim.

However, Lim Chan-gyu did not give up a single home run to KT batters.

LG Park Dong-won, Aiming to Become the ‘Winning Catcher’, KS’s First Home Run is a Come-from-Behind Home Run

KT’s key bullpen Park Young-hyun explodes with a two-run gun in the second game of KS

‘Geopo-type catcher’ Park Dong-won (33, LG Twins) hit his first career Korean Series home run.

It was a thrilling come-from-behind two-run shot that saved LG from being cornered.

It was also a shot toward his dream of becoming a winning catcher. 카지노사이트탑

In the bottom of the 8th inning, trailing 3-4 in game 2 of the professional baseball Korean Series held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th,

Park Dong-won hit 124 km/h changeup from Park Young-hyun, the nucleus of the KT Wiz bullpen.

On the first pitch and drew a two-run arch that went over the left-center wall with one out and runners on second base.

Park Dong-won

Until this day, Park Young-hyun, who had pitched 5 games and 6 innings without allowing a run in this year’s postseason,

also collapsed due to Park Dong-won’s earnest swing.

Park Dong-won’s batted ball flew 122 meters at 166 km per hour.

From the moment his hit ball and bat made a cracking sound until Park Dong-won came around the ground and stepped on home plate, LG fans cheered with a ‘yellow wave’.

LG won 5-4 thanks to Park Dong-won’s comeback shot.

Park Dong-won was selected as the Daily MVP of Game 2 of the Korean Series and received a prize of 1 million won.

Park Dong-won, who started his professional career with Seoul Heroes (now Kiwoom) in 2009,

played in the Korean Series wearing the Heroes uniform in 2014 and 2019,

but suffered the bitter taste of defeat.

Park Dong-won, who was traded to the KIA Tigers in 2022,

signed a free agent (FA) contract with LG for up to 6.5 billion won (2 billion won contract deposit, 4.5 billion won total annual salary) for four years after the end of the season.

Korean Series

Park Dong-won said, “Excluding me, LG’s batting lineup is truly breathtaking.

As a catcher, I am very lucky not to have to face LG Twins.”

He added, “When I get the chance, I tell our pitchers, ‘How good it is to not have to face LG batters.’

“I want to,” he said.

However, Park Dong-won is also the ‘LG gun’ that opponents fear.

Park Dong-won posted a batting average of 0.249, 20 home runs, and 75 RBIs in this year’s regular season.

It has been 13 years since Jo In-seong (28 home runs) in 2010 that an LG catcher hit more than 20 home runs in a season.

Park Dong-won also had a thrilling experience in the Korean Series wearing the LG uniform.

LG, who lost 2-3 in the first game and was dragged by giving up 4 points in the second game,

turned the game around with Park Dong-won’s one shot.

LG, dreaming of winning the Korean Series for the first time in 29 years,

has brought this series back to square one thanks to Park Dong-won, who aims to become the ‘winning catcher’.

LG’s 2nd Game Come from Behind Victory

LG’s 2nd Game Come from Behind Victory… The Starters Gave Up 4 Runs in ⅓ Innings, and the Bullpen Gave up 8 ⅓ Innings of No Runs

LG, 0-4 → 5-4 come-from-behind win thanks to bullpen power, despite early opposition to starter Choi Won-tae

Professional baseball’s LG Twins suffered heavy defeat as starting pitcher Choi Won-tae collapsed in the first inning.

Choi Won-tae’s report card includes 20 pitches, 2 hits, 2 walks, and 4 runs in ⅓ innings. 카지노사이트위키

However, LG had a bullpen that was like a ‘fountain that never runs dry.’

Thanks to the bullpen’s remaining 8 ⅓ innings of scoreless innings,

they were able to turn the game from 0-4 to 5-4 and bring the Korean Series back to square one with 1 win and 1 loss.

Choi Won-tae

In Game 2 of the 2023 KBO Korean Series against KT Wiz held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th,

LG had no choice but to use the mound as a ‘bullpen day’ due to starting pitcher Choi Won-tae’s unexpected sluggish performance.

If the LG bullpen had not been strong, the LG bench would not have been able to make the bold choice of removing the starting pitcher with one out in the first inning.

As a result, leaving out Choi Won-tae was an excellent choice.

Lee Jeong-yong, who took the mound first,

cooled the already heated KT lineup with 3 hits, 1 strikeout, and no runs in 1⅔ innings.

Lee Jeong-yong gave up 2 RBIs and a timely hit to Bae Jeong-dae,

perhaps because he suddenly took the mound in the 1st inning with one out and 2nd and 3rd bases,

but he completed his mission after finishing the 2nd inning.

Jung Woo-young, who took the mound at the start of the 3rd inning, pitched 1⅓ innings,

allowing 2 hits and no runs, and Kim Jin-seong, who followed him,

continued the momentum with ⅔ innings of no runs.

LG Twins

Baek Seung-hyun, who appeared on the mound in the 5th inning,

was shaken with 1 hit and 1 walk in ⅔ innings, but Yoo Young-chan,

who came on as a relief pitcher with 2 outs and 1st and 2nd bases,

pitched the brightest pitch out of the bullpen.

Yoo Young-chan, who is new to the postseason stage,

was responsible for 7 outs alone with 2 strikeouts and no runs in 2⅓ innings.

While Yoo Young-chan held on on the mound, LG batters followed suit one by one, putting pressure on KT.

Austin Dean’s timely hit in the 3rd inning, Oh Ji-hwan’s 1-run home run in the 6th inning, and Kim Hyun-soo’s double in the 7th inning gave them 1 run each to reach 3-4.

And when Ham Deok-ju, who came on the mound in the top of the 8th inning, set up three KT batters,

LG turned the game around with Park Dong-won’s 2-run home run in the bottom of the 8th inning.

To protect their lead of 5-4, LG sent Go Woo-seok,

the losing pitcher from Game 1 the previous day, into the 9th inning.

Go Woo-seok neatly handled the 9th inning with a three-way penalty, preserving LG’s victory.
