He also ranked second in the WHIP by giving up only four four pitches in four games.
▲ 'Powerful Pitching' SSG Elias

He pitched 26 1/3 innings and recorded 28 strikeouts, ranking fourth in the strikeout category. Kim Kwang-hyun was active in SSG's explosive September rise.
▲ Cho Byung-hyun of SSG, "Incheon's Mr. Zero"
SSG Cho Byung-hyun, who became Incheon's Mr. Zero, pitched scoreless for a month in September. In 12 games, he pitched 13 scoreless innings and recorded eight saves. Cho Byung-hyun, who took the mound to take responsibility for the team's victory and completed his mission perfectly, took the top spot in the save category with SSG's finish.
▲ The old man of SSG is immortal
Behind SSG's frightening performance was Noh Kyung-eun's good pitching. In September alone, he achieved seven holds to rank No. 1 in the hold category and played with a 0.75 ERA in 10 games. Along with good pitching, SSG has won as many as 13 games in September alone, and Noh Kyung-eun is showing top-notch skills as if to prove that her age is just a number.

Koo Ja-wook, the core of Samsung's batting lineup, showed a hot batting feeling in September. In 16 games, he played a key role in the team's offense by appearing at the top of various batting indicators, including 24 RBIs (1st), nine homers (1st), and 18 points (2nd). In the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on September 11 and KT in Suwon on September 19, they played four hits, and both OPS and slugging percentage, which evaluate the value of batters, were ranked first.
▲ 'Anta Machine' LG Hong Chang-ki
In September, LG's Hong Chang-ki's bat had no rest. He played in 19 games and hit 32 hits to tie for second place with a batting average (0.438) and an on-base percentage (0.488). Hong Chang-ki, who has had hits in all but one game, is evolving from an on-base machine to a hit machine.

Davison, who started September splendidly by hitting home runs in three consecutive games from the Munhak SSG match on the 1st to the Changwon Kiwoom match on the 4th, added eight home runs (second place) in September alone, becoming the title holder with a total of 46 home runs.
