‘Crazy Samjisunada’ Ko Young-pyo, SSG rang again
Preparation? It was meaningless

The Landers Killer is here. He is strong if he meets SSG. KT’s Ko Young-pyo (33) flew again. SSG came out prepared, but to no avail.
Ko started the first game of a three-game midweek series against SSG in the 2024 KBO League at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on May 25 and threw seven innings of two-hit, no walks, five strikeouts, and no runs in a Quality Start Plus (QS+) performance.
It was by far his best outing of the season. Seven innings is a first this season. He threw 83 pitches, which isn’t a lot. The eighth inning was completely doable. He was replaced in the top of the eighth because the offense was getting long. In the bottom of the eighth, Kim came in. It’s not like he’s going to have to pitch on four days’ rest and 30 days’ rest.
KT will be happy to see Young-pyo Ko pitch well. He left after two appearances to open the season. Microdamage to his elbow flexor. It took longer than expected. He returned on the 19th. He gave up six runs in five innings. Against a strong Lotte team, he gave up a surprisingly high number of runs. He also suffered a loss.
I met SSG that day. SSG was also strong. He had a 10-5 record with a 3.65 ERA. If you limit it to 2021-2023, he went 7-1 with a 2.16 ERA.
In his three appearances against SSG in 2023, he pitched seven innings of two-run ball, seven innings of three-run ball, and eight innings of scoreless ball. His ERA is 2.05. He earned a Quality Start (QS) and easily earned a Quality Start Plus (QS+).
This day was no different. “Overwhelming” is the right word. He was perfect until the top of the sixth inning. A hit broke up both the no-hitter and the perfect 메이저사이트 game. But I was still in charge until the eighth inning. It looked like he could have finished the game, but Lee cut it short in the eighth.
As an SSG, it was an opponent I wanted to beat. As a team, it’s hard to face only NC. Among the pitchers, only Ko Young-pyo is smaller. We prepared firmly on this day. Coach Lee said, “They prepared for everything. I also advised them on how to play the game. Take a look.”
The SSG batters were positioned earlier in the lineup than usual, hoping to hit before the changeup, which is their main weapon. Go Myung-joon’s double in the sixth inning was one such example.
He hit a double to left-center field. His left foot crossed the line in front of the plate. Manager Lee Kang-cheol appealed to the umpire, saying that his front foot was out of bounds, but the umpire didn’t buy it.
In the end, it didn’t work. Ko Young-pyo gave SSG only two hits. He stole the SSG bat with a ‘crazy three-pointer’. His two-seam (27 pitches) and changeup (32 pitches) are 토토사이트 the basics. His third pitch, a curveball (18 pitches), was also powerful.
The mix was exquisite. He froze SSG’s batters with his breathtaking fastball. He didn’t just have his changeup ready. The SSG batters couldn’t react properly, and Go Young-pyo and KT laughed.
Before the game, manager Lee Kang-cheol laughed, saying, “I said they were a nemesis before the Lotte game, and they gave up a lot of runs,” and then said, “I just want them to eat innings and keep them to a minimum.” Seven scoreless innings is plenty. The homegrown ace is back.
