KT batting left-hander Kim Min-hyuk, a right-handed hitter, continues to pinch-hit despite thigh injury
Game 5 of the 2023 KBO League Postseason Playoffs between the NC Dinos and the KT Wiz at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, on Friday afternoon.
KT's Kim Min-hyuk runs after hitting a two-run double with runners on first and third in the fifth inning.
"Kim Min-hyuk's injury hurts more than Kang Baek-ho's."
KT WIZ manager Lee Kang-cheol said this when asked about Kang Baek-ho, who was sidelined with a torn side muscle ahead of the KBO Playoffs (PO) against the NC Dinos.
Lee expressed more frustration about not being able to use star outfielder Kim Min-hyuk as a starter than he did about Kang Baek-ho's season-ending injury, as the latter can only be used as a pinch hitter after tearing a thigh muscle during a game in September.
There was a reason. Kim Min-hyuk was strong in the regular season this year against NC starters Shin Min-hyuk (.364), Tanner Tully (.333), and key bullpen member Ryu Jin-wook (1.000).
Especially since KT's batting lineup is mostly composed of right-handers and NC's bullpen is mostly right-handed, the left-handed Kim Min-hyuk was needed.
Lee Kang-cheol was even more disappointed because Kim Min-hyuk was impressive in every important game of the regular season.
Much to Lee's disappointment, 카지노사이트랭크 Kim did his part in the NC and PO.
He produced a hit and a walk as a pinch hitter in Game 1 on the 30th and Game 2 on the 31st, respectively, and also drew a walk as a pinch hitter in Game 4 on the 3rd.
Kim Min-hyuk ties the game
Game 5 of the 2023 KBO League Postseason Playoffs between the NC Dinos and the KT Wiz at Katie Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, on Friday afternoon. KT's Kim Min-hyuk raises his hand at second base after hitting a two-run single to tie the game in the fifth inning.
'Hidden Card' Kim Min-hyuk exploded again in the fifth game of the NC and PO at Katie Weeds Park in Suwon on Nov. 5.
Trailing 0-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning, with runners on first and third, Oh Yoon-seok pinch-hit for Shin Min-hyuk, who had previously thrown a no-hitter.
Shin fought off a full count by throwing five consecutive pitches, including his main weapon, a changeup that fell just outside the left-field line.
Shin threw another changeup, and Kim didn't miss it.
He swung wildly and hit a timely two-run double that landed in the right field seats.
It was a celestial hit that tied the game.
Gritting his teeth, Kim Min-hyuk reached second base and immediately pumped his fist to express his joy.
KT got the game back on track with Kim Min-hyuk's 'one hit'.
KT stepped on the stepping stone laid by Kim Min-hyuk and came back in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat NC 3-2 and punch their ticket to the Korean Series. 고스톱
