There are seven left-handed batters, but they are stronger than right-handed pitchers in the first round

There are seven left-handed batters, but they are stronger than right-handed pitchers in the first round…Benzers, Sanchez, Baek Jung-hyun...After all, the natural enemy was a left-handed pitcher.

There are seven left-handed batters in the best lineup. It is said to be the strongest batting line, but in the end, there was a weakness. The baseball community's maxim that "left-handed batters are weak against left-handed pitchers" was not wrong. 배트맨토토

LG Twins, which ranks first, ranks first in both ERA (3.66) and team batting average (0.282). In other words, both the mound and the batting line are the best.

The characteristic of the LG lineup is that there are many left-handed batters. There are as many as seven left-handed hitters in the best lineup, including No. 1 Hong Chang-ki, No. 2 Shin Min-jae, No. 3 Kim Hyun-soo, No. 5 Moon Bo-kyung, No. 6 Oh Ji-hwan, No. 8 Moon Sung-joo, and No. 9 Park Hae-min. There are only two right-handed hitters: No. 4 Austin Dean and No. 7 Park Dong-won.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop had been worried about the batting order even before the season. Therefore, when the opposing left-handed pitcher comes out, he also planned a lineup that uses a lot of right-handed hitters to give the main players a break from time to time. Kim Min-sung, Lee Jae-won, and Son Ho-young were able to enter on behalf of Moon Bo-kyung and Oh Ji-hwan and Moon Sung-joo.

Although there were many right-handed batters in the lineup several times during the season, manager Yeom stuck to the best lineup even for left-handed pitchers as the second half of the season went on. "In the end, regardless of the type of opponent's selection in the postseason, we have to go to the best lineup, so we don't have to do platoon," manager Yeom explained.

Even though there are many left-handed batters, LG's batting lineup was to target left-handed pitchers well. LG's batting average against left-handed pitchers was .284, slightly better than when it faced right-handed pitchers (0.280).

Hong Chang-ki (0.336), Park Hae-min (0.328), Moon Bo-kyung (0.304), Kim Hyun-soo (0.289), and Oh Ji-hwan (0.277) also hit well as left-handed pitchers. On the other hand, Moon Seong-ju and Shin Min-jae were not good at .248.

However, there was a wall that even LG hitters who played so well could not overcome. Representative pitchers are Wes Benjamin of the KT Wiz and Ricardo Sanchez of the Hanwha Eagles. Benjamin became a winning pitcher in all four LG games he pitched this season, and his ERA was 0.71 and he threw incredibly well. Even though he was sluggish, he came back to life whenever he came out against LG. He gave up 14 hits while throwing 25⅓3 innings, walked only two, and struck out as many as 26.

The 2023 KBO League match between the Hanwha Eagles and the LG Twins was held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 1st. LG's Hong Chang-ki hits a timely RBI in the bottom of the sixth inning with one out and runners on first and second base.

The 2023 KBO League match between the LG Twins and the Hanwha Eagles was held at Jamsil Stadium on the 2nd. In the bottom of the eighth inning, LG Park Hae-min is cheering after hitting a tie-breaking three-run shot with one out and runners on first and third base.

The 2023 KBO League LG Twins and Lotte Giants game was held at Jamsil Stadium on the 24th. Moon Bo-kyung from LG.

Sanchez was also strong against LG. Sanchez showed extreme pitching with one win and no loss in two games and no runs in 14 innings. Sanchez, who became the winning pitcher with two hits and no runs in eight innings in Daejeon on June 10, also recorded three hits and no runs in six innings in Jamsil on the 2nd. Although he did not become a winning pitcher by allowing a tie in the bottom of the eighth inning, he confirmed that he was a certain "LG killer." There are only three LG hitters who hit against Sanchez: Oh Ji-hwan (two), Hong Chang-ki (two), and Shin Min-jae (one).

Samsung Lions' Baek Jung-hyun also showed good performance with three wins and no losses and a 0.92 ERA in three games against LG, SSG Landers' Kirk McCarty pitched one inning and scored six scoreless innings, and Roenis Elias had two wins and no losses and a 2.77 ERA in two games.

Most of the pitchers who showed extreme strength against LG were left-handed pitchers. Among right-handed pitchers, Choi Won-tae, who recorded three wins and an unbeaten ERA of 0.95, is now an LG player, and NC's Eric Pedi was good with two wins and an unbeaten ERA of 2.12.

LG can meet Benjamin, McCarty, Elias, and Pedi in the postseason. In the end, you have to overcome them to win the championship.

LG meets Benjamin one more time right now. LG will play three consecutive games during the week in Suwon against KT from the 5th, and KT's expected starters will be William Cuevas, Benjamin, and Ko Young-pyo, with all 1st to 3rd starters. In particular, there is a high possibility that he will face Benjamin on the 6th. There is a possibility of meeting in the Korean series, so you have to make an active attack once to lower the opponent's confidence.

When asked about the three-game series against KT, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "We have to catch Benjamin first. He seemed to focus on catching Benjamin to the extent that he said, "I have five wins and five losses against KT, but I only lost four to Benjamin."
