The first round of the playoffs was taken by Samsung, whose batters exploded, but the atmosphere changes again depending on the results of the game. The flow of the series is determined in Game 2.
Both Samsung and LG are anxious about the bullpen. So, how long the starting pitcher blocks you is the key to winning and losing. In the second round of the playoffs, which will take place at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 14th, Samsung announced the starting pitcher Won Tae-in, the king of the most wins with 15 wins, and LG announced the starting pitcher Detrick N.S., the third-ranked foreign pitcher with 13 wins.
Won Tae-in tied for the most wins with Kwak Bin of the Doosan Bears this season by winning 15 games.
He pitched in 28 games with a 15-6 record with a 3.66 ERA. He ranked sixth overall in ERA and first among domestic pitchers. It means that he is an ace who trusts and sees.
Unfortunately, it was not good against LG. He took the mound in two games and lost one game without winning, with a 4.09 ERA.
His first appearance of the season on March 27 was against LG. He appeared in Jamsil game and was good with six hits, two walks, six strikeouts and one run in five innings. At that time, he led 2-1 and met the requirements for a winning pitcher, but he allowed a tie in the bottom of the sixth inning and the victory flew away.
The second is Jamsil game on June 25. During six innings, he became a losing pitcher with seven hits (one home run), one walk, five strikeouts, and four runs. He gave up four points in the second inning alone, including a three-run shot by Moon Bo-kyung.

Now is the time to show Won Tae-in, who has changed to victory.
Ence took the mound in Game 1 and 4 of the semi-playoff, and all of them became losing pitchers. In the first game, he recorded five hits (one home run) with two walks and six strikeouts and three runs in five ⅓ innings, and in the fourth game, which took the mound after three days of rest, he was forced to quit early with six hits (one home run) with two walks and three strikeouts and four runs in three ⅓ innings.
This time, it will not be too bad physically because it will be on the mound after four days off.
There is no win against Samsung. He lost one game and had a 3.00 ERA without winning two games.
When they first met in Jamsil on June 26, they had three or nine strikeouts and no runs in six innings, but failed to become a winning pitcher and lost the game by allowing five hits (two home runs) and four runs in six innings in Jamsil on July 30. At that time, Kang Min-ho and Kim Young-woong hit home runs.
Both had a chance to take victory in this playoffs, which they could not get from their opponents.
