Although it was an exhibition game, everything was unique to the rookie.

Coach Lee Kang-chul talked about Won Won Won-hyun, who started the previous day, at a meeting with reporters ahead of the 2024 KBO League exhibition game SSG Landers at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province on the 11th.

Won Won Sang-hyun, who was drafted by KT as the seventh pick in the first round in the rookie draft last year, is considered a candidate for the fifth starting pitcher along with Kim Min this season. He has been impressive since the spring camp, and he pitched well in his first appearance in the exhibition game with four hits, two walks and five strikeouts in three innings, tightening the LG Twins’ slugging line.

Manager Lee Kang-chul smiled at Won’s story. It wasn’t just because the pitch was good.

“I was shaking a lot even before the game,” Lee said. “There were five minutes left before the game started, and he asked me, ‘When can I go out?’ When I asked him to go out when he wanted to, he went to catcher (Jang) Sung-woo and asked me the same thing,” he laughed.

“He likes to hit the glove when striking out,” he said. “That’s how nervous I was. It was a very interesting day.”

He was also satisfied with the content of the game. “I was instructed to change the slider grip during the camp, but he adapted quickly,” Lee said. “The slider angle has definitely increased in yesterday’s game. The voice actor was so surprised.”

“The speed of the fastball is good, so if you support the breaking ball well, the fastball can be more powerful,” he said. “I played about 30 to 40 pitches yesterday, but I’ll make him throw 60–70 pitches next time and see if the speed drops.”

For now, it is true that Won Won Sang-hyun is one step ahead in the competition for the fifth starter. At this rate, Won Sang-hyun is likely to be named from the opening entry.

Manager Lee said, “Kim Min is also throwing well stably, so I hope he will compete well with Won Won Won-hyun to create synergy,” and explained, “Even if So Hyung-joon returns in June, he has to take more than 10 days off if he throws once, so he should make both Won Won-hyun and Kim Min as starters.”
