Lim Chan-kyu, who was sad to see LG lose to Samsung in the 2002 Korean Series, became an autumn hero and reversed his momentum.

It is like a movie scene. Lim Chan-gyu started the third round of the 2024 Shinhan Sol Bank KBO League Playoff held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Monday, and led his team to victory by pitching 5.1 innings of three hits and no runs.먹튀검증

Lim threw 84 pitches in total on the day. He threw 37 fastballs, 25 changeups, 19 curves, and three sliders. The maximum speed of his fastballs reached 146 kilometers.

Notably, Lim Chan-kyu has won in all three starting games he played in this postseason. In the semi-playoff (semi-PO, three wins out of five), he took the mound in the second and fifth games, and succeeded in changing the momentum in the situation where LG lost.

In the second game, he allowed seven hits, no outs, four strikeouts, two runs (one earned run), and in the fifth game, he also allowed three hits, two walks, four strikeouts, and one run in six innings.

On the same day, Lim Chan-kyu changed his momentum again in a situation where LG was on the brink of losing two games again. It is Lim Chan-kyu who is on the mound due to his amazing "Autumn Chan-gyu."

He got off to a good start. After finishing the inning with three outs in the first and second innings, Lim gave up a hit to Ryu in the top of the third inning, but continued his good pitching by handling Kim Ji-chan with a fly ball.

In the top of the fourth inning, he got a right-handed hit by Yoon Jung-bin and a right-center hit by Park Byung-ho, and was concentrated on the first and third bases with two outs, but he ended the inning without a run by striking out Kang Min-ho swinging.

Lim Chan-kyu, who was replaced by Hernandez with one out count in the top of the sixth inning, then played his part and came down from the mound.

Lim Chan-kyu was particularly determined ahead of the upcoming playoff against Samsung. In an interview with on-site reporters right after receiving the semi-PO MVP award, Lim said, "When I was young, watching LG baseball reminded me of the game against Samsung in 2002. I really wanted to go up, but I will prepare well to avenge my defeat at that time."

And this determination has lifted the team from a crisis point. In particular, Lim Chan-kyu's role in silencing Samsung's batters, who showed tremendous damage in the first and second rounds, is expected to lead to a reversal of mood that could boost LG's momentum in the future.

On this day, Lim Chan-kyu was selected as the Daily MVP in Game 3 of the playoffs and received 1 million won in prize money.

Meanwhile, LG will post Detrick Ens and Samsung will post Denny Reyes as the starting pitcher for Game 4. However, the weather seems to be a variable. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, rain news has been announced since the afternoon in Songpa-gu, Seoul, where Jamsil Stadium is located. The second round of the playoffs, which was scheduled to be held in Daegu on the 14th, was also canceled due to rain.
