"You look like Veteran when you see a ball thrown."
It is the words of the head coach Kim Tae-hyung of the Doosan Bears. Kt Wiz announced the 19-year-old rookie Mini standard as a starting pitcher for the first game against Doosan in the 2020 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Playoff at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 9th. Doosan will face the 19-year-old rookie pitcher for the first time in both series, following the LG Twins and Lee Min-ho in the first game of the semi-playoffs on April 4.
Doosan made it easy to hit Lee Min-ho, who allowed just three runs in three runs in five innings (1 home run) in 313 innings, and lost. Lee Min-ho did not get past Doosan's seasoned beasts in the big Kyonggi, although he did not get bad at the regular season Doosan and 4Kyonggi with a 1 loss, 14 innings and a 2.57 ERA.
How about the Mini standard, which has gone 3-1 with Doosan in five regular-season confrontations, 2823 innings and a 2.51 ERA. Lee Kang-chul, the director of kt, is also the background of the postseason first-round selection of Mini standard, not Ace Audrey Samer Despaine.
"Even if Mini standard keeps off two runs in six innings, you can hit three innings in the second half. You have to make Kyonggi as much as possible to win the first game. I chose Mini standard in terms of stability. The last Kyonggi content was good, and I’m in good shape. Mini standard has nothing to lose, watching his last important Kyonggi good, he said: 'This player thought he could write (in the postseason) - it felt great. When I talked to the pitcher part, 99 percent were Mini standard. "
When asked how Lee Min-ho and Mini standard would be different, Kim said, "Both pitchers are good. The Mini standard seems to be a little better at strong control or technique. Lee Min-ho really sees a rookie's kick from high school, and Mini standard is like Veteran - it's good to throw the ball. I feel like I know that when I have to stick to it when I run away. "
Doosan captain Oh Jae-il said: "I thought Despine would come out but suddenly I heard the story (called Mini standard) and I think we should talk about how to attack it. We need to get three first, Mini standard, Despayne and Cuevas, to see a chance. Three are stable. "It is easy for pitchers to throw the three first, and our bullpen is young, so the fielders have to give the lead so that the bullpens can be thrown comfortably."
