The KIA Tigers faced an unprecedented crisis when four of the five starters were dropped due to injuries earlier this season.메이저놀이터

Two young pitchers, Hwang Dong-ha and Kim Do-hyun, said, "I'm going to be a hero in a difficult time," and it helped me a lot to block the starting lineup.

Hwang Dong-ha and Kim Do-hyun pitched 1.1 scoreless innings and 3 scoreless innings in the Korean Series, respectively, and even engraved the winning DNA.

Beyond the "alternative selection," what will be the positions of Hwang Dong-ha and Kim Do-hyun next season, who have now shown the possibility of starting 4-5?

In response, KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said on KBC Newswide, "I think it's going to be a very difficult idea," adding, "Both players performed well in the starting rotation, so we have to think about it well in the future."

"At the time of Lee's return, the pitching rotation is piled up with so many good players, but I'm also worried about that as those players have to compete again," he said, adding, "I'm so grateful that the young players threw well."

Assuming that two foreign pitchers and Yang Hyun-jong will take charge of the first to third starters in KIA's starting lineup next season, the remaining positions will be two fourth and fifth starters.

Four Lee Eui-ri, Yoon Young-cheol, Hwang Dong-ha, and Kim Do-hyun are expected to compete in good faith.

Lee Eui-ri, who underwent elbow surgery, is expected to return as early as June-July next year after rehabilitation, and if so, the first half of next season will be a good opportunity for young starting pitchers to imprint their skills.
