Right-hander Lee Sang-dong has emerged as a new driving force for KT Wiz's mid-field pitching. He stood out in the first team five years after joining the professional league, and made his first postseason appearance. I'm showing off my skills on the mound. He made his fall baseball debut in the playoffs against the NC Dinos (best of five games). In two games and one ⅓, he smiled with one hit, no outs, one strikeout and no run. He also did well in the Korean Series (best of seven) against the LG Twins. He pitched in Game 3 on the 10th and completely continued his waist with two innings, one walk, one strikeout and no run. There was not a single hit. KT manager Lee Kang-chul said, "I'm going to use Lee Sang-dong as a must-win group. I kept thinking about using him, but he showed a good performance. "There is another card as existing Son Dong-hyun and Park Young-hyun are getting tired," he applauded. Lee Sang-dong said, "I tried to prepare well thinking that I might play every day. "I trained hard to do well no matter when and in any situation," he said. "The atmosphere was different between the playoffs and the Korean Series. "I thought it was a regular season and tried to throw it confidently without thinking about the pressure," he said. "I was a little nervous when I warmed up in the bullpen during the Korean Series. "It was okay when I actually went up to the mound," he said. It jumped into the must-win group at once and for all. Lee Sang-dong said, "My goal is to prevent it as cleanly as possible without giving a point if you just put it on the mound. Any role, such as a must-win group, a chasing group, and a losing group, is fine. I'm just thinking about keeping the score unconditionally without losing a point," he said. It will ease the burden of Son Dong-hyun and Park Young-hyun, who have struggled so far. "I wanted to help," he said. (Son) Dong-hyun and (Park) Young-hyun went to many games and did well, but I was also worried," he said. "It's hard for the two of them." I'll help you when you're in trouble,' he said. "I decided to throw well if I take the mound," he said. In fact, he has not been a notable pitcher. After going through Kyungpook High School and Youngnam University, he joined KT in the 31st place in the second and fourth rounds in 2019. He made his debut that year and played 17 games in three seasons until 2021, with one loss and one hold average of 10.61. Later, he was discharged from the military in April. On June 3rd, he was called in by the first team. He recorded 4 wins, 1 loss and 1 hold average of 3.98 in 40 ⅔ innings in 36 regular-season games. Lee Sang-dong said, "I think the experience has accumulated little by little. "I thought that if I threw confidently, I wouldn't be hit by batters," he said. "I tried to pitch more boldly. When we needed to win, we won right away. As a result, I think I got a good result," he explained. KT lost three consecutive games in Game 2, 3, and 4 after winning Game 1 of the Korean Series. If they lose Game 5 at Jamsil on the 13th, they will lose the championship trophy to LG. Lee Sang-dong said, "We are a romantic baseball team. When you're in a corner, your strength comes out. I think I still have the power to use it," he said. In fact, he also showed a reverse sweep with three consecutive wins after losing two consecutive games in the playoffs. One variable is weather. The temperature has dropped sharply recently. He said, "Actually, I get really cold. "I'm trying not to lose my balance," he said. "After dealing with the first batter, my body got heated and the ball got better. I will continue to overcome the cold," he smiled. Lee Sang-dong said, "There are many games left. Even if he takes the mound in a tight situation, he tries to show his courage by throwing his own ball. I will do my best to achieve my goal," he said.
