"Two consecutive multi-inning outings? That’s enough." 154 km/h Go Woo-seok, a perfect performance over two days with just 39 pitches in 3⅔ innings... The true "thousand troops and ten thousand horses" has returned.
"I thought I could easily handle two consecutive multi-inning outings." It was a pitching performance that made it clear why he earned the title of "thousand troops and ten thousand horses." For Go Woo-seok (28, LG Twins), who returned to his former team after three years following his challenge in Major League Baseball (MLB), the role didn't matter. He stepped onto the mound whenever the team needed him and threw pitches without allowing a single baserunner over two days. On the 16th, Go Woo-se

Lee Kang-in (25, Atletico Madrid), who scored his second goal of the season and played the full 90 minutes to lead his team to a decisive victory, received a 'perfect score' from local media.

Following delays in the arrival of Lin Wei-min (23), known as the 'Left-handed Ace Killer' and playing in the minor league system under the Arizona Diamondbacks, even the schedule for joining top-tier closer Pan Yuan-hui (24), who throws up to 161 km/h and plays in the minor l
'Hit 16 hits but only scored 4' — National team shortstop vacancy felt in 'offense, not defense'... The real 'AG gap' that must be filled in the race for fifth place
The biggest concern regarding Kim Ju-won's (24) vacancy was shortstop defense. However, the reality turned out to be different. The void that NC Dinos felt painfully was in offense. NC lost both home games against LG Twins held at Changwon NC Park on the 15th and 16. They suffered a one-run defeat, 2-3, on the 15th, and were heavily beaten, 2-9, on the 16th. In a situation where reaching the top five was urgent, this painful losing streak was a major setback. Coincidentally, these were the first
