"I will hit three balls, and all three will hit the first pitch and play baseball like that," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said in March last year. He cited such an extreme situation as an example, as he said that he would not place restrictions on ball count on players in order to pursue aggressive batting. However, the situation came at a time when players were losing just one point in the fall baseball league. This was also the first three hitters in a row to have the ball count shut out for the first time in the post season.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said at the time, "We play three balls no matter what. That's what our team is doing best right now, and it's better to get on base while hitting aggressively. Rather than hitting passively, there is a greater chance that we will develop to pick out the ball while attacking and get on base. We will hit from three balls, come out with three players, and all three players will pitch for the first time and play baseball like that."
During the two years when Yeom Kyung-yeop led the team, the LG Twins had hit the first pitch in the 1,202nd inning in 288 games. After KIA (1289 at-bats), SSG (1263 at-bats) and Kiwoom (1208 at-bats), the team was the fourth most aggressive in hitting the first pitch. When hitting the first pitch, the OPS was 0.904, the third highest after KIA (0.948) and NC (0.924). During the past two years, the overall hitting OPS for the first pitch in the KBO League was 0.883, which LG performed better than average.
However, in the first round of the semi-playoff against KT Wiz on the 5th, the first hit did not lead to as good a result as expected.
The first pitch hit seven times, but it never led to on-base hits. In the first inning, Shin Min-jae hit a ground ball to shortstop, and in the fourth inning, Moon Bo-kyung hit a fly ball to shortstop. In the fifth inning, Park Hae-min and Moon Sung-joo made consecutive first pitch attacks after one out, but were grounded out to shortstop.
And in the seventh inning in question, Kim hit the first pitch for three consecutive batters, and the result was all errors. In the face of the new pitcher Son Dong-hyun, Kim hit the first pitch and recorded a fly ball to the center field. Park Dong-won hit a ground ball to the third base, and Park Hae-min hit a fly ball to the right field. With three pitches, Son ended the first inning with fewer pitches than when warming up in the bullpen. It is the first time in the postseason that he caught three batters on the first pitch with three pitches. 먹튀검증
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop found a problem with timing, rather than targeting the first pitch itself. "The key players need to be hit, but (Kim) Hyun-soo, (Moon) Bo-kyung, and (Moon) Sung-joo are not in the right timing. How the hitting coach adjusts the timing again will be important," he said in an interview after the game. There is a possibility that the batting order could be changed.
