He invested 14 billion won in Park Min-woo for eight years, but kept his previous record. Breaking up with Drew Rucinski (Oakland Athletics), who has won 53 games over the past four years, was also a bit of a burden.

However, as Kang In-kwon took over as acting coach since May last year, there was actually a foothold to smooth the plan for the 2023 season. And this part was the foundation for the first postseason in three years. Large and small injuries have poured in since the beginning of the season, but it was the driving force that endured.

It is true that Eric Peddy, a super-special ace, was absolute. 20-6 with a 2.06 ERA in 29 games and a 204 strikeout hit rate of 0.209 WHIP 0.97 quality starts in 174.2 innings. He has booked a triple crown for pitchers and a regular-season MVP. Cutter and sweeper commands were fraudulent in the early 150km range on average.

Peddy's 20 wins to the team were a huge boost. Although he was a strong pillar of the mound, Peddy did not take the mound every day in the long-term race. Koo Chang-mo didn't do his part and Taylor Widener was up and down. However, Tanner Tully, who was replaced in the second half of the year, hit the jackpot for an alternative foreign pitcher.

On top of that, Choi Sung-young, Shin Min-hyuk, Lee Jae-hak, Song Myung-ki and Lee Yong-joon took turns to help the native starters. They had ups and downs and injury issues, but they backed up Peddy by switching roles exquisitely little by little. He ranks third with a 3.81 ERA.

He has a 3.80 ERA in relief, ranking second. Ryu Jin-wook, Lim Jung-ho, Kim Young-kyu and Kim Si-hoon fought evenly. There was Kim Jin-ho's shoulder issue, but there was no shaking in quantity and quality. As a result, he ranks second with a 3.80 ERA. The mound leap became the biggest foundation for his return to the postseason.

In the lineup, revived captain Son Ah-seop, Park Min-woo and Park Gun-woo established the strongest batting order in the league. Jason Martin, a foreign hitter, was also okay with 17 home runs and 89 RBIs, even though it was not explosive. Kwon Hee-dong, who signed a late FA contract, has been a big help since the middle of the season, and Seo Ho-chul has become a clear starting third baseman. Kim Joo-won won the Asian Games gold medal due to a full-time experience that he could not change even after paying money, although his performance has ups and downs. His unique driving force worked on the international stage as well.

He is third with a team batting average of 0.270 and third with a team OPS of 0.734 . In fact, the ups and downs of the batters were quite severe. The reason why the ranking fluctuated even though they were fighting for third place. However, it has created new and old harmony and has even prepared future engines. In particular, the leadership of director Kang In-kwon, who laid the foundation for growth by relentlessly using Kim Joo-won and Seo Ho-chul, was also outstanding. Seo Ho-chul is out again due to an ankle injury.

In the end, he passed the postseason threshold with the power of the general public, and he will challenge for third place. Thanks to Peddy, LG and KT can never ignore NC. While NC is at it, it plans to go all-out until the end to surpass the wild card game. The regular season will end with games against Samsung in Changwon on the 15th and against KIA in Gwangju on the 16th to 17th.
