  148km lefty wins first win in Game 3 of 4 'Jamsil Rivalry'

  May 31, 2024

  LG Twins pitcher Son Joo-young became the first pitcher to win a game against “Jamsil rival” Doosan since his debut.

  Son started the game against Doosan at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on March 31 and pitched 5⅓ innings, allowing one run on three hits with two walks and one strikeout while striking out four. LG won the game 6-3 and Son was the winning pitcher. 

  Prior to this game, Son had lost two games in two starts against Doosan this year. His career record against Doosan was 3-3 with a 7.71 ERA. In his fourth career meeting with the “Jamsil Rival,” he earned his first win against Doosan.  

  With a 3-0 lead in the third inning, a walk and a bunt put runners on first and second with no outs, and a sacrifice fly put runners on second and third. After allowing just one hit through five innings, Son gave up back-to-back singles to Ramos and Jeong Soo-bin in the sixth to put runners on first and second with no outs. Yang grounded out to first base and turned the ball over to reliever Kim Jin-sung. Kim struck out Yang Seok-hwan and got Kang Seung-ho to ground out to first base to end the threat. 

  After the game, Son spoke about his game plan, saying, “I trusted Dong-won because he's my brother. I lost two games to Doosan, but it was the Jamsil derby, so I had this feeling that I had to win with energy, so I pitched harder and stronger.” 

  Son threw 92 pitches, including 49 fastballs, 19 sliders, 18 curves and six forkballs. His fastball maxed out at 148 mph and averaged 145 mph. He threw his curveball effectively. Son Joo-young said, “I told Dong-won that I wanted him to use a lot of curveballs, and I thought he was going to go for a lot of fastballs and sliders. He didn't throw a lot of curveballs in the first inning, so I analyzed it and threw a lot of curveballs.” 

  “The curveball has been feeling a little bit better in the last 토토 two or three games, so I want to use it a little bit more because I feel like I had a good feel for it last year,” he added. 

  He has 2 losses against Doosan this season. He also has no career wins against Doosan. “I really cared a lot,” Son said. Yesterday, we had our six-game winning streak snapped, so I didn't want to go out there and lose...so I thought I should go out there similarly, and I threw responsibly,” said Son. “I think the Yasoo brothers also care a lot about the Jamsil Derby, so I think they were a little more focused,” he added. 

  He did a good job of shutting down Doosan's top hitter, Yang Ji-hyeon. He faced him three times and retired all three. In the sixth inning, he got a grounder to first base with runners on first and second.  Son Joo-young said, “I was a little late with my fastball, so Dong-won and I were competing with each other with fastballs, so I was a little careful with my fastball. I tried to throw it a little harder to Yang Ji, and I tried to throw it a little more perfectly, and I think it worked out well,” said Son. 

  With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead, things suddenly became tense. “I was a little nervous. I think Young-chan was a little unlucky because his pitches were so good. “I thought it was a hit to the shortstop at the end, but Bon-hyeok caught it well,” said Son. “I thought it was a hit to the shortstop, but Bon-hyeok caught it well.
