Lions manager breathes sigh of relief after exhausting win in Korean Series

KT Wiz manager Lee Kang-chul predicted a tight pitching duel between Ko Young-pyo and Chris Paddack in Game 2 of the Korean Series. The Wiz will face off against the Lions at their home park in Suwon. Ko, a right-hander, boasts a 3-1 record against the Lions this season with a 2.25 ERA in four regular-season meetings. Paddack, an American ace, made one start against the Wiz, throwing six shutout innings and winning on August 29.

Young-pyo had an impressive season, and Lee hopes he replicates that performance. Lee, a former star pitcher, expressed curiosity about Paddack's approach to his heavy postseason workload. In the previous postseason series against the Kia Tigers, Paddack started twice with minimal rest, tossing a combined 193 pitches. He will now have four days of rest. Lee anticipates a competitive match between the two pitchers.
