[Okinawa (Japan) = Reporter Kwon In-ha of Sports Chosun] Will changing the team change the relationship between natural enemies.

Left-handed starter Oh Won-seok, who moved to KT Wiz, pitched three scoreless innings in a practice game against a domestic professional team for the first time. But the other team was the LG Twins. Oh Won-seok started the practice game against LG at Kinosa Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the 2nd and recorded one hit, two walks, and four strikeouts in three innings.

For Oh Won-seok, LG was the team he didn't want to meet the most. Oh Won-seok, who graduated from Yatapo and joined the SK Wyverns as the first nomination in 2020, did not have a good performance against LG. He took the mound in a total of 16 games (13 starts), with only 3 wins, 8 losses and an 8.25 ERA.

In seven games (four starts) in 2021, he was 3-1 with a 6.00 ERA. There was some luck in winning, but the ERA was not very good. Still, on October 6, 2021, he became a winning pitcher with four hits, no four outs, eight strikeouts, and two runs in six innings in Jamsil. And that was his last win against LG.

From 2022 to last year, the ERA reached a whopping 9.60 with seven losses without winning a total of nine games. Last year, he played in three games against LG, with two losses and an 8.25 ERA.

KT manager Lee Kang-chul explained that Oh Won-seok's starting appearance against LG was a coincidence because he took the mound in order according to the game.

Is it because the team changed. Oh Won-seok brightened his outlook for this season by pitching well without allowing any runs to LG.

Oh Won-seok, who grounded out Hong Chang-ki in front of the second base in the bottom of the first inning, allowed No. 2 Austin Dean to walk after a full count match, followed by a right-handed hit by No. 3 Kim Hyun-soo, who was on the verge of a crisis with one out and runners on the first and second bases. I couldn't help but think of the weak performance against LG.

However, Oh Won-seok struck out No. 4 Moon Bo-kyung and handled No. 5 Oh Ji-hwan with a fly to left field to overcome the loss crisis. It was a hit, but left fielder Jang Jin-hyuk ran forward and saved Oh Won-seok with a sliding catch.

In the bottom of the second inning, Oh Won-seok struck out No. 6 Park Dong-won with a fly to the first baseman, struck out No. 7 Park Hae-min, caught No. 8 Koo Bon-hyuk with a fly to center field, and in the bottom of the third inning, Shin Min-jae was grounded out in front of the second base, and gave up a walk to Hong Chang-ki, but he struck out Austin and Moon Bo-kyung in a row and finished his pitching.

Oh Won-seok, who sprayed a total of 59 balls on the day, played a good game with LG hitters by mixing up to 145km of fastballs, sliders, changeups, and curves.

Will Oh Won-seok be able to clean up his natural enemy relationship with LG this year. We got off to a good start.
