The Doosan Bears, third in the regular season, and the lg Twins, fourth, will play a semi-playoff (jun-PO) in the KBO postseason in the Jamsil Stadium from the 4th. As it is a series in which only 3Kyonggi is covered, the importance of the first game is not necessary to explain. Doosan and lg signalled Chris Flexen, 26, and Lee Min-ho, 19, as starters in the first leg.
Flexen has won eight and lost four games this season, with an Earned run average of 3.01. On July 16, Jamsil SK was Hit by a ball and injured in his left foot. The number of multipliers was relatively small, but it was not enough in terms of content.
Especially in October, he showed an overwhelming appearance: 4 wins in 5Kyonggi in October, and Earned run average 0.85. Compared to Alcantara, who has won 20 games this season, he was no match. The 150km fast ball and the big curve are excellent.
He made one appearance against lg on May 7. He made his first appearance this season and became a champion with three runs in six innings and seven Hits.
lg has nominated 'Rookie' Lee Min-ho as the first starter of the semi-PO. Lee Min-ho, who uses a fastball and slider as his main weapon, who is close to 150km, joined lg with the first nomination and immediately got the starting position. He has won four games and lost four games this season, with an Earned run average of 3.69.
He also pitched his own against Doosan; he made four appearances against Doosan, losing 1 and scoring an Earned run average of 2.57. In the 2Kyonggi starting lineup, he had two runs in five innings.
Lee Min-ho will win his first postseason start in the third high school graduate postseason when he becomes a winner in this start. Yeom Jong-seok (Lotte) in the first game of the semi-playoffs in 1992 and Kim Myung-jae (Doosan) in the third game of the playoffs in 2005 set such a record.
