LG Twins pitcher Lee Jung-yong, 27, threw his most complete game since making his KBO debut.
Lee pitched six innings of three-hit ball, striking out two and walking none in a home game against the Kiwoom Heroes of the 2023 Shinhan Bank Solar KBO League at Jamsil Stadium on February 2.
Before the game, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop wanted Lee to throw more than 90 pitches to get the win.카지노
Lee lived up to his manager’s expectations.
After starting his last five games in a row due to a gap in the LG starting lineup, Lee had his best performance since his debut. Despite facing one of the best pitchers in the KBO, Ahn Woo-jin, he stayed calm and showed off his pitches.
