Professional baseball kt wiz closer Park Young-hyun (20) will challenge for the first time in 19 years in the KBO League.토토사이트
Park Young-hyun played in 64 games without starting this season, recording 10 wins, 2 losses, 25 saves, and an ERA of 3.62.
Park Young-hyun, who ranks first in winning percentage (0.833), is expected to rank first in this category if he does not become a losing pitcher in the remaining games of the 2024 season.
No. 2 NC Dinos Kyle Hart (13 wins, 3 losses, 0.813) and No. 3 SSG Landers Drew Anderson (10 wins, 3 losses, 0.769) cannot exceed Park Young-hyun even if they build up wins in the remaining games.
Initially, Hearts seemed highly likely to win the title this season.
However, Park Young-hyun ranked first as Hart was in a losing battle against SSG Landers on the 25th.
The king of wins is a title given to the number one winning percentage among pitchers who have won more than 10 games regardless of the regular innings.
Oh Seung-hwan (Samsung Lions) was the last player to win the title without starting a game in 2005.
At that time, Oh Seung-hwan won the title of the winner with the Rookie of the Year award with a 1.18 ERA and a 0.909 win rate with 10 wins, 1 loss, 16 saves and 11 holds.
Since then, all starting pitchers have won the KBO League.
If Park Young-hyun wins the title, his team KT will produce winners in this category for the third consecutive year.
Um Sang-baek became the first kt player to win the title with 11 wins and 2 losses in 2022.
In 2023, foreign pitcher William Cuevas won the award with 12 wins and no losses.
In fact, Park Young-hyun’s challenge to win the title is not very pleasant for individual players or their teams.
The fact that the closer has won 10 games means that he often pitched in behind games or turned the game around again after allowing a tie or reversal.
In fact, KT did not achieve the expected team performance this year due to poor starting pitchers.
KT was considered a favorite before the opening, but fell back as the front door was shaken greatly due to Ko Young-pyo’s injury departure, So Hyung-joon’s slow recovery speed, and poor foreign pitchers.
KT’s starting pitcher’s ERA this season is 5.18, ranking ninth among the 10 clubs.
In this situation, Park Young-hyun often took the mound in games where he was trailing by one or two points.
Kt’s core bullpen Kim Min also won eight games (4 losses and 21 holds) this season.
