The performance of LG Twins pitcher Lim Chan-kyu shone brightly.

On the 10th, Lim Chan-kyu made a starting appearance in the second game of a doubleheader against the Samsung Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, earning his sixth win of the season with 6 innings pitched, allowing 2 hits, 5 walks, and striking out 5 while giving up 1 earned run. LG defeated Samsung 4-1, sweeping both games of the doubleheader.

After the game, Lim Chan-kyu said, "I really wanted to win since the fielders must have been very tired from playing the doubleheader, and I'm really happy that we did." He added, "I tried to disrupt the batters' timing, which worked well. My control wasn't as good as when I felt in good condition, but I focused on getting batters out in a difficult situation."

Foreign hitter Austin Dean will not participate in the three-game series in Daegu due to symptoms of dizziness. To fill the void of this key player, the entire team worked together to secure a winning series. Lim Chan-kyu noted, "When an important player is missing, someone else has to step up so that the absence is not felt. Today, Min-soo did really well, and I think all the players performed their roles effectively."

This season, LG, which had been leading the standings, fell to second place after a five-game losing streak, but they created another opportunity for a rebound by sweeping both games of the doubleheader against Samsung. Lim Chan-kyu stated, "It is true that we were quite stagnant when we dropped to second place. The veterans led well around captain Park Hae-min, and I did my best on the mound to break the losing streak."

The foreign pitcher Koen Wyn, who is scheduled to start against Samsung on the 11th, is well-known for looking up to Lim Chan-kyu. In response, Lim Chan-kyu said, "I haven't particularly told him anything; he seems to have figured out how to approach it by watching my pitching. I'm happy to have worked hard and achieved good results, and I hope he performs well in tomorrow's game."

Lim Chan-kyu, who provides advice on pitching design to the younger pitchers on the team, humbly stated, "Since everyone has a different perspective, when I share my perspective, the juniors accept it well. It's not because I told them that they performed well; it's because they did well."

He added, "Choi Chae-hyung asks a lot of questions. He is a good pitcher who had 11 wins during his time with Samsung. I can feel that he has a really good sense when we are playing catch. He will do well enough."

Lim Chan-kyu, who stated that he has no ambition for the wins title, said, "I believe that wins are a product of chance. It's thanks to the support of the batters and the defense that I got them. I'm not playing baseball with the awareness of achieving personal victories but trying to throw the pitch I want on the mound. The essence is more important. I strive to focus on the essence."
