The LG Three Musketeers who hold the key to the Korean Series “Choi Won-tae, Jung Woo-young, and Park Dong-won”
The players that LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop singled out as the three musketeers holding the key to victory ahead of the Korean Professional Baseball Series are starting pitcher Choi Won-tae, starting catcher Park Dong-won, and key sidearm reliever Jung Woo-young.
It is clear what Coach Yeom wants from the three players in the Korean Series, where 4 wins out of 7 games will help them conquer the top spot in the Korean Series for the first time in 29 years.
Choi Won-tae's stable pitching, Park Dong-won's one-shot when he will use his home mask, and Jung Woo-young's recovery of pitching status after being shaken all year.

Coach Yeom said, "Considering that the first and second games of the Korean Series will be held at the larger Jamsil Stadium, I designated Choi Won-tae as the starter for Game 2." reported.
According to the KBO League regulations revised in January 2020, Games 1 and 2 and Games 5 and 7 of the Korean Series will be held at the home of the team ranked first in the regular league.
Only games 3 and 4 will be played at the stadium of the winner of the playoffs.
According to this game format, Casey Kelly and Choi Won-tae, who were confirmed as starters for Game 1, will appear as starters for Games 1, 2, and 5 and 6 in Jamsil.
Choi Won-tae was respectable in Jamsil this season with 4 wins and 2 losses and an average ERA of 3.18.
The hitting percentage of 0.265 also dropped to 0.227 in Jamsil, showing even more strength in Jamsil.
However, in the second half of the season, he performed poorly with 3 wins, 3 losses, and an ERA of 6.75, so the challenge is how well he can utilize the experience he had in last year's Korean Series.
Manager Yeom also expected, “If Park Dong-won can hit at the pace of May, the destructive power of the lower batting order can improve.”
Park Dong-won, who hit 20 home runs in this year's regular league, contributed significantly to the team's scoring by hitting 9 home runs in May alone.
It was Manager Yeom's promise this season to place a hitter with slugging power in the lower batting lineup.
As the cannon determines victory and defeat in the fall, if Park Dong-won's slugging ability revives, the cohesion of LG's minefield batting lineup will double.
Coach Yeom said, “If Jung Woo-young survives, it will be easier to run the sure-win team,” and waits for the revival of last year’s hold king, Jung Woo-young.
As a sidearm pitcher, Jung Woo-young, who throws a fast two-seam fastball that can exceed 150 km/h, did not perform well starting from the World Baseball Classic (WBC) early this year, and ended the regular season with 5 wins, 6 losses, 11 holds, and an ERA of 4.70.
His challenge of 20 holds for four consecutive years was in vain, and above all, his hitting percentage rose significantly to 0.297.
Despite the poor performance of hold king Jung Woo-young and last year's relief king Go Woo-seok, LG has Baek Seung-hyun (2 wins, 3 saves, 11 holds)
Yoo Young-chan (6 wins, 3 losses, 12 holds), Ham Deok-ju (4 wins, 4 saves, 16 holds), and Kim Jin-seong (5 wins, 1 hold).
(loss, 4 saves, 21 holds) ranked first in the regular league with a new sure-win relay pitching team.
In addition, if Jung Woo-young, who has been very active as LG's setup man for the past three years, regains his position and joins the team as a sure-win, LG's waist will become even thicker.
