We rewrote the history of LG… 23-year-old right-hander Young-gun, who couldn’t laugh to his heart’s content, can he spend a shining year in 2023?

Can LG’s 23-year-old right-hander Young-gun spend a brighter year in 2023?

Lee Min-ho, the LG Twins’ first-choice prospect, is called the lumber that will lead the LG Twins mound for the next 10 years or more. Lee Min-ho, who joined LG with the first nomination in 2020 after graduating from Whimoon High School, got a starting opportunity from his debut season.

In the 2020 season, which was his debut season, he played only 20 games under steady management, recording 4 wins and 4 losses with an ERA of 3.69. In the 2021 season, he went 8-9 with an ERA of 4.30 in 25 games.

Lee Min-ho’s 2022 season is clearly better than before. As a starter in 26 games, he recorded 12 wins and 8 losses. Lee Min-ho is the youngest pitcher in LG’s history to set a double-digit multiplier record in one season. The previous LG record was 23-year-old Lee Sang-hoon (18 wins) and In Hyun-bae (10 wins) in 1994. Lee Min-ho was 20 years old when he played a 10-win game (against the Hanwha Eagles on August 24, 2022). In addition, in 2020, after Lim Chan-gyu, he brought the title of 10 wins as a domestic starting pitcher for LG in two years.

But he couldn’t help but laugh. First of all, the average ERA continued to rise. The average ERA for the 2022 season is 5.51. It was the highest since his professional debut.

Also, there were only four undefeated games in the season. His on-base percentage per inning (WHIP) was 1.58 and his batting average was 0.305. He also made only five quality starts (three earned runs or less in six innings of starts). 97.2 innings in the 2020 season, 115 innings in the 2021 season, and 119.1 innings in the 2022 season It was good to steadily increase the number of innings, but the ups and downs were great.

He also won with good pitching, but there were also many games where he took care of the basic winning pitching requirements and won with the support of bullpen pitchers or the explosion of the batting line.

A total of 19 players, including Lee Min-ho, won double-digit multipliers in the 2022 KBO League. Among them, Lee Min-ho is the only player whose ERA exceeded the 4-point range and also exceeded the 5-point range. He was compared to Albert Suarez (Samsung Lions), who recorded an average ERA of 2.49 and only won 6 games.

In addition, Lee Min-ho could not step on the fall baseball stage in the 2022 season following the 2021 season. Casey Kelly, Adam Plutko, and Kim Yun-sik were the 3 starting pitchers, and Kelly was already scheduled to play in the 4th game. Also, the team had a lot of great bullpens, so there was no room for him to break through.

Manager Ryu Ji-hyun, who led LG at the time, said, “Lee Min-ho has no experience as a middle pitcher. He also said that he doesn’t have much self-confidence, so he can be a burden as a middle pitcher.” 온라인카지노

The 2022 season had many happy moments, but on the contrary, it was Lee Min-ho who had many regrettable moments.

Lee Min-ho is now running for the 2023 season. As in the 2022 season, he will be active as a starter along with Kelly, Plutko, and Kim Yun-shik. I can’t say I’m young anymore. Before he knew it, he also celebrated his 4th year as a professional.

If he keeps the current multiplier and lowers the average ERA, it seems to be a strength for the LG mound. In LG, Kelly and Plutco jointly won 31 wins, but there were many reviews that the performance of the domestic starters was disappointing. However, if Kim Yun-sik showed his potential from the second half, and Lee Min-ho also reduces his ups and downs, he can show the strength of a starter as good as any other team.

What will 2023 be like for 23-year-old right-hander Young-gun? Twins fans want to see Young-gun smile to his heart’s content.
