Lee Min-ho started in the Futures League match against the Samsung Lions held in Gyeongsan on the 26th and showed a good pitching of 2 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts and 1 run in 6 innings. He pitched very economically with 72 pitches.
At the end of the first inning, Lee Min-ho got off to a good start by catching Sang-Min Kim with a looking strikeout and kicked off Ho-Jae Kim with a grounder in front of the third baseman and Dong-Jin Kim in the third with a grounder in front of the first baseman.
Lee Min-ho, who came up at the end of the second inning with a 3-0 lead at the beginning of the second inning, caught No. 4 Kim Tae-hoon with a shortstop fly in 3 pitches, but gave a ball to Yoon Jeong-bin in No. 5 and hit Ryu Seung-min with three consecutive balls in No. 6. The jegu was also shaken. However, Lee Min-ho, who caught the 4th and 5th pitches with consecutive strikes, struck out with a swinging ball. At this time, Yoon Jung-bin succeeded in stealing second base. The crisis came, but the inning ended with a fly to the center fielder with the 7th Oh Hyun-seok in the first pitch.
At the end of the 3rd inning, Lee Bung-heon, the lead in the 8th inning, was grounded in front of the 3rd baseman, and An Joo-hyung in the 9th got a right-handed hit.
In the top of the 4th inning, Son Ho-young’s three-runner and Kim Ki-yeon’s timely hit scored 4 points, giving LG a generous 7-0 lead.
Lee Min-ho was on the verge of conceding at the end of the 4th inning. He caught leader Dong-Jin Kim with a fly to left field, but allowed a double to left-center to Tae-Hoon Kim in the 4th. He caught Yun Jeong-bin with a grounder in front of the first baseman and got 2 outs. Then, Seung-Min Ryu was induced with a ground ball in front of the second baseman, but second baseman Seo Geon-chang caught the ball and dropped it, so Tae-Hoon Kim stepped on the groove and gave up 1 point. Oh Hyun-seok struck out on three pitches and the inning ended.
Even in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 9-1 lead, he overcame the risk of conceding runs. Lee Min-ho, who caught Lee Byung-hun in center field and Ahn Joo-hyung in right field, allowed Kim Sang-min to walk, and Kim Ho-jae at bat vs. However, Kim Ho-jae was treated as a shortstop ground ball and finished without a run. 63 pitches by the end of the 5th inning.
Lee Min-ho, who also started in the bottom of the 6th inning, caught leader Kim Dong-jin with a fly to right field, Tae-hoon Kim with a fly to left field, and Jeong-bin Yoon with a looking strikeout, ending with a three-way strikeout. He was replaced by Jo Won-tae at the end of the 7th inning due to a large score difference of 10-1.
Lee Min-ho, who returned at the end of May due to elbow pain at the beginning of this season, appeared in 5 games in the first team and suffered 2 losses with an ERA of 5.03. In the end, he rebuilt his body in the second group and gradually improved his condition. As the 4th and 5th selection continued to be sluggish, it seemed that if Lee Min-ho was ready, he would be able to rise to the first team. However, after LG recruited Choi Won-tae, Jung-yong Lee, who switched to starting pitching, completed the 5th selection with brilliant pitching.
Director Yeom plans to make the current five starters as long as there are no other problems.
Currently, in order for Lee Min-ho to mound, the only game on Monday or a double-header game will be held due to the remaining game schedule. Lee Min-ho, who played 2 consecutive games following 5 hits and 1 run in 5⅔ innings in the 2nd team match against Hanwha on the 18th, must prepare thoroughly and show when the opportunity comes.
