'From 8th place in 2018 to eight consecutive postseasons': After General Manager Cha Myeong-seok took office, LG's autumn baseball has become a routine rather than a challenge.
Over eight years, has been guarded and many players have changed. What hasn't changed is that LG Twins have played baseball every autumn. Now, for LG, autumn baseball has become a daily reality rather than a challenge. On the 24th, LG suffered a comeback loss, 4-6, against Lotte Giants in their regular-season home game at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League. Their seven-game winning streak ended, halting their pursuit of first place. Nevertheless, the fact that LG wi

"(Jo) Byung-hyun pitched two innings." Although closer Jo Byung-hyun (24, SSG Landers) was managed meticulously, reports on the reaction of Lee Seung-yong (55), manager of SSG, who witnessed him pitch only two innings at the 2026 Aichi·Nagoya Asian Games, were somewhat ambiguous.

Meeting with reporters ahead of the Samsung Lions home game at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 24th for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League, Manager Lee stated, "I am also friends with
The path of the 'ace at No. 7' pioneered by Son Heung-min is now being followed by five Korean successors... from Lee Kang-in, who hopes to become an 'ATM', to Seol Young-woo, the 'unique No. 7'. Europe is now on high alert for the 'K-7' wave.
The stature of South Korean players performing on the European stage has risen even further. It is no longer just about filling a spot in the squad; more players are now donning the symbolic number '7', which represents a team's core.
