The second round of professional baseball fall baseball is a match between LG, which has accumulated a lot of strength, and KT, which is on a magical rise.

The match in the first round, where Ence and Ko Young-pyo will face off as starters, is expected to determine the overall direction of the semi-playoff.

LG hitters, who returned from training camp at Icheon Champions Park from the 30th of last month, will turn their bats fiercely.


The ball with enough strength to rest crosses the autumn sky.

What LG believes the most is a hot hit.

In particular, No. 4 hitter Moon Bo-kyung hit five home runs with a batting average of 0.360 against KT in the season, and "On base machine" Hong Chang-ki was the fiercest with a batting average of nearly 500.

[Hong Chang-ki / LG outfielder: They played such a good game (in the Korean Series) last year, so I think the atmosphere will still be there, so if we go into the game, we will have a better play if we are bold and confident.]

If hitters who play better, such as Oh Ji-hwan, Austin, and Shin Min-jae, do as usual when they meet KT, LG can easily solve the game.

[Yum Kyung-yeop / LG manager: I think the most important part is how much our hit will affect the victory and defeat of the game in this semi-PO]

KT, which came up like magic in a series of end-of-the-match games, will expect a completely different team atmosphere.

[Lee Kang-chul / KT manager: Our players have played a lot of big games, so I think they always have good resilience from the bottom. As I played a lot of difficult games, the dugout atmosphere was so comfortable.]

In the batting lineup, Kim Min-hyuk and Rojas, who will serve as table setters, swung the bat against LG all season.

In addition to Rojas, who hit seven home runs, Hwang Jae-gyun, Moon Sang-cheol, and Kang Baek-ho hit three home runs side by side.

[Kang Baekho / KT's designated hitter: If we keep our sense of play like this, we'll have a chance to win. [I don't know what the result will be, but I'll do my best]
In the first game, which will be the direction of the
semi-playoff match, LG's foreign ace Ence, who won two games of the season against kt, and Ko Young-pyo, who recovered his ball power in the fifth-place and wild card matches, will start.
