SSG Landers Kim Kwang-hyun became the winning pitcher in an away game against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 22nd, pitching one hit, five strikeouts, and four walks in six innings.
It's already 11 wins in the season. Kim Kwang-hyun, who had his worst season since his debut due to his failure to follow the luck of victory this season, is back in his tracks with four wins in five recent games. It ended the season unfortunately with nine wins last year, but this year, it achieved more than half of its success by reaching a double-digit victory in two years. Kim Kwang-hyun said, `I think I'm getting a little lucky now," he said with an embarrassing smile.
Above all, Kim Kwang-hyun also began to raise his pace from the time the team was on the rise. In the match against the KIA Tigers in Incheon on the 18th, the other team, KIA, won with five scoreless innings and prevented them from winning the regular season. KIA lost in the end when it failed to target Kim Kwang-hyun, and as the second-ranked Samsung Lions lost at the same time, it was able to confirm the championship by extinguishing the magic number based on the results of the second-ranked team, not by itself.

In particular, Kim Kwang-hyun won the starting title in as many as five years and five months at Suwon Stadium. The last away victory in Suwon was on April 27, 2019. It is the first victory in 1975 days. Considering that one win out of eight games with two wins and four losses with a 5.73-run average was won on the 22nd, Suwon Stadium had only one previous victory.
Although there were not many opportunities to take the mound in Suwon, there were far more games in which they failed to meet the requirements for a winning pitcher or became a losing pitcher. He was also sluggish, as evidenced by his 5.73 ERA. However, Kim Kwang-hyun, who clearly broke the jinx and finished his last regular season appearance at Suwon Stadium in a good mood in the 2024 season.
