Pitching Change Snafu Mars LG Twins’ Nine-Run Inning
A chaotic pitching change unfolded at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 29th, adding to the LG Twins’ woes during a disastrous nine-run inning. The incident saw pitcher Kim Yun-sik called to the mound, only to be replaced by Lee Woo-chan without throwing a single practice pitch.
The perplexing sequence occurred in the bottom of the fifth inning of the KBO League contest between the LG Twins and the Kiwoom Heroes. With the Twins trailing 7-10 and facing a two-out, bases-loaded situation, pitching coach Kim Kwang-sam made a visit to the mound.
Initially, Kim Yun-sik was designated to relieve Woo Kang-hoon. However, a miscommunication led to Lee Woo-chan being brought in instead, a decision later attributed to an error by pitching coach Kim Kwang-sam. This unexpected substitution further complicated a challenging inning where the LG pitching staff collectively surrendered nine runs.
