Lee Sang-young, a substitute starter for the LG Twins, is increasingly increasing the innings and maintaining a sense of stability.
Lee Sang-young came in as a temporary starter as Choi Won-tae was injured. Initially, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop tried to solve the bullpen in the first division through bullpen day, but it was not easy, and he ended up calling up Lee Sang-young, who was throwing in the second division.
Lee Sang-young made his first start against the Lotte Giants in Jamsil on the 16th and pitched three ⅔ innings, allowing three hits, one walk, and one run. The team won by a score of nine to eight. The number of pitches on the day was 56.
In the game against KT Wiz in Jamsil on the 21st, the number of pitches increased significantly and threw 88 pitches. He pitched only four innings due to the increased number of balls, and recorded three hits, four walks, and four strikeouts and no runs. Unfortunately, the team lost 2 to 3.
He played five more ⅓ innings in the match against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 27th. The number of pitches decreased to 74. He allowed five hits, one walk, one walk, one strikeout, and two runs. The team lost 1-2, becoming the first losing pitcher of the season.
He gave up a walk to Kim Ji-chan in the top of the first inning and allowed him to steal second base, but he started with no runs after catching both Kim Heon-gon and Koo Ja-wook McKinnon with infield ground balls.
In the top of the second inning, Kang Min-ho grounded out in front of the third base, Yoon Jung-bin grounded out in front of the second base, and Kim Young-woong struck out and finished with three outs.
Lee Jae-hyun, the first hitter at the top of the third inning, had his first hit due to a heavy hit. However, he immediately induced Kim Dong-jin to hit a double play in front of the second base. He gave Kim Ji-chan a hit ball and allowed him to steal second base again. He escaped the crisis by catching Kim Hun-gon with a ground ball in front of the third baseman.
He gave up the first run in the top of the fourth inning. After consecutive hits by the first three Koo Ja-wook and the fourth McKinnon, they were on the verge of the first and third bases with no outs, and gave Kang Min-ho one run by allowing a sacrifice fly to the left field. He was hit by No. 6 Yoon Jung-bin on the right line drive, and first baseman Kim Bum-seok double-jumped with a nice jump catch to prevent additional runs.
Lee Sang-young, who blocked the top of the fifth inning well with three outs, sought his first quality start after his debut, but failed to finish the sixth inning. It was big that he failed to catch the leader Kim Ji-chan. He hit a ground ball in front of the first baseman and Lee Sang-young entered the base cover, but Kim Ji-chan's feet were faster, making it an infield hit. He also managed to steal second base, and advanced to third base when Kim Heon-gon grounded out in front of second base. Koo Ja-wook's pushed left-handed hit gave up another run. 0-2. That's all for Lee Sang-young's pitching. The number of pitches was as low as 74, but the third lap of batting order was judged by the bench as the timing of replacement. Baek Seung-hyun caught McKinnon with a fly to left field and Kang Min-ho with a foul fly to first baseman and finished without additional runs.

The maximum speed of the day was only 142 kilometers. However, he threw fewer fastballs with 12 pitches, and pitched 143 kilometers of pitching core (22) and slider (32). In addition, eight fork balls were added. The speed was low, but the movement was good.
He has lost only one game in three appearances, but has a good ERA of 2.08. He pitched 13 innings and recorded 11 hits, six walks, and five strikeouts. WHIP is not bad at 1.31, and the hit rate is good at 2209.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop expects Choi Won-tae to return early in the second half. Currently, he can take the mound in the last three consecutive games of the first half against the Kiwoom Heroes next week. Even if Choi Won-tae returns, six starters are needed to manage the starting physical strength in the summer season, and Lee Sang-young is expected to play the role of six starters.
Lim Chan-kyu and Choi Won-tae's sudden injuries caused LG to fall from first place to third place after falling sharply. Still, it can be seen as a positive income that Lee Sang-young has been given the opportunity to raise him as a starter again and is going successfully. If Lee Sang-young establishes himself as a starter, LG will have two tall left-handed starters in the 1m90s along with Son Joo-young in the 1m91.
