DAEGU — Young pitcher Jang Chan-hee, just 19 years old, played a crucial role in Samsung Lions' pursuit of their first Korean Series title in over a decade. In Game 4 of the series, Jang held the KT Wiz to a run over four solid innings, contributing to a 10-5 victory for the Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park. With this performance, Jang became the second youngest pitcher to start a Korean Series game, at 19 years, one month, and two days old.
His manager, Park Jin-man, had expressed confidence in Jang's ability to maintain the energy and fearlessness he demonstrated throughout the regular season. However, Jang faced challenges in the early innings, giving up a solo home run to Jang Jin-hyuk in his ninth pitch. Despite this, he walked the next batter and maintained a 6-1 lead as his team batted around and pressured starter Logan Allen.
