LG Twins’ new left-handed ace Kim Yoon-sik (23) made a surprising choice within the team ahead of this season. He chose number 47 as his uniform number.
Number 47 was a taboo number in LG. A number that has been ‘cursed’ in vulgar terms. This is the number that LG’s legendary commentator Lee Sang-hoon wore in 1995 when LG won the only 20 victories. However, after Lee Sang-hoon, Seo Seung-hwa, Jo Yoon-joon, and Bong Joong-geun wore number 47, but they did not achieve good results. When Lee returned to the LG coach, he said, “Number 47 is a cursed number,” and other players put that number on themselves.
Afterwards, number 47 was vacant, but Kim Yun-shik wanted number메이저놀이터 47. It was the number he wanted to have from the time he joined, but since he was a rookie, he couldn’t say it. So he threw 57 times 47 plus 10. He wore No. 57 and had a good record of 8 wins and 5 losses with an earned run average of 3.31 last year, and he started in Game 3 of the playoffs and gave up 1 run in 5⅔ innings, indicating that he is a strong pitcher even in big games. And he was even selected for the WBC national team. He came close to success with number 57, which he switched to number 47. If he does poorly this season, the curse of number 47 could be highlighted.
In an interview with reporters during the Arizona camp, Kim Yun-sik said, “It was a number I wanted to wear someday. It’s still not enough, but I thought it would be nice to wear number 47 and do better.” He told me to throw it sweetly and more courageously.” Kim Yun-sik, who said, “I threw more aggressively with the thought that I had nothing to lose when I faced the opponent’s ace last year,” said, “I will enjoy it this time too,” expressing her affection for number 47.
To be honest, I was very worried in the beginning. After returning to Korea, he was substituted early after showing sluggishness with 4 hits (1 home run), 2 walks and 2 runs in 1 inning in his first appearance in the regular season against KT Wiz on the 2nd after returning to Korea.
In the second game against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 8th, he had good pitching with 2 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts and no runs in 5 innings. He reported his first win of the season with a minimum of 1 run.
fourth climb. Because it was a match against the NC Dinos, who were tied for first place, if the team won that day, they could have ranked first, so there was a burden on Kim Yun-sik’s shoulders. he was jagged. Kim Yun-sik, who ended the first inning lightly with a tripartite, faced the crisis of a run with a full base with a double and two walks. Fortunately, Do Tae-Hoon in the 8th was treated as a double stroke in front of the 1st baseman, and no runs were lost. In the beginning of the 3rd inning, it was stably blocked with 1 hit and no run, but in the 4th inning, the ball was shaken again and faced a crisis. He hit three consecutive hits and got the bases safely loaded, and gave up a sacrifice fly to right fielder An Jung-yeol to give up the first run. Fortunately, they struck out Do Tae-Hoon and Kim Soo-Yoon from the 2nd and 3rd bases in a row and prevented additional runs.
Even in the top of the 5th inning, Kim Yun-sik, who was on the mound, allowed a double to Park Gun-woo after the second run, but finished his mission by treating Yoon Hyeong-jun in the 4th as a second baseman fly. He recorded 6 hits, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts and 1 run in 5 innings, and passed the mound to Kim Jin-seong in the top of the 6th inning with the victory requirement to lead 3-1. LG won 9-4 and became the sole 1st place, and Kim Yun-sik won his 2nd win of the season.
Although there were difficulties, he overcame the crisis by showing his excellent crisis management skills. It was like breaking through the approaching curse head-on.
It’s still breathtaking. Kim Yun-sik’s uniform number 47, which he sees every time he faces a crisis, approaches him with concern, but he feels a sense of confidence in overcoming the crisis. Can Kim Yun-sik break the curse of number 47 and be recognized as the new owner of number 47?
