KT Wiz's Um Sang-baek also failed to gain strength in his second start of the semi-playoff.
Um Sang-baek took the mound as a starter in Game 5 of the semi-playoff against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium on the 11th, but threw only two innings and went down the mound.
Um Sang-baek was shaken by an RBI double by Austin and Kim Hyun-soo, respectively, from the first inning. The ball power wasn't too bad, but the confidence fell. Molly was able to play the ball with difficulty.
In the second inning, he seemed to be revived by dealing with the lower lineup. However, as soon as the start of the third inning, Hong Chang-ki allowed a clean right-handed hit.
KT's bench moved quickly after noticing that Um Sang-baek's pitching and condition were not normal on the day. Immediately, Son Dong-hyun was raised. It was based on the judgment that if the difference between the points widened at 2-0, it could completely give up the victory to the early opponent.
Um Sang-baek also started in Game 2, but became a losing pitcher with four runs in four innings. At that time, he had six hits and gave up four walks.
Um Sang-baek won 13 games this regular season. As a reserve FA, the value could jump tremendously. However, he failed to raise his value further by showing that he could not overwhelm his opponent in the fall. Even in the regular season, there were quite a few games to win with the help of the batters. He was 13-10 with a 4.88 ERA.
