SEOUL - On the verge of clinching a long-awaited South Korean baseball championship, LG Twins manager Youm Kyoung-youb emphasized the importance of sticking to fundamentals during a press briefing on Monday. The Twins currently lead the best-of-seven Korean Series with a 3-1 advantage over the KT Wiz, with Game 5 scheduled at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul.
According to Yonhap News Agency, he has been constantly reminding his team of the need to play fundamental baseball, which was key to their regular season success. The Twins, who secured close victories in Games 2 and 3, had a significant win in Game 4 with a 15-4 score. Youm noted that the Wiz's bullpen, like the Twins', had a chance to rest after the lopsided Game 4, potentially impacting the dynamics of the upcoming game. Focusing on Game 5, Youm expressed his hope for American starter Casey Kelly to pitch deep into the game, anticipating a tight scoreline.
