lg Twins coach Ryu Joong-il has signalled a changeover for rookie Lee Min-ho to Cole Hamels.
lg will play the third game between the 2020 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League Doosan Bears and the team at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the afternoon of the 7th.
lg won the opening game 8-2, but lost 2-5 in their second matchup against Doosan the day before. Song Eun-beom, who played for Cole Hamels on the 6th, collapsed with five runs in nine Hits (1 finisher) in 2.1 innings.
With the slump of Song Eun-beom, lg's troubles with Cole Hamels deepened. Under these circumstances, Ryu Joong-il suggested a starting transition for right-hand rookie pitcher Lee Min-ho.
Lee Min-ho is a player with a fastball in the second half of the 140km, a cutter that breaks out of the right-handed batter, and a curve that curves to the bell. On the 6th, he proved his potential with a 1-inning Hit scoreless score in his professional debut.
"Lee Min-ho has a fast ball," said Ryu Joong-il. "If three pitchers come up tomorrow, three pitchers will be missing. I will decide on the situation, but if Lee Min-ho goes down to the second group, he will receive the starter The Lesson. "
"The left-handed rookie (Kim) Yoon Sik plans to use it as a bullpen for the time being. "If we further collapse, we can return to the starting lineup," he said. "It is not the intention to give experience (about using newcomers), but because we are better than existing players."
Meanwhile, Ryu Joong-il said he would provide additional opportunities for Song Eun-beom, who had a poor pitch on the 6th, saying, "I think I should see the situation once more."
