The LG Twins had consecutive losses to the Kiwoom Heroes over the weekend. They were evaluated as one-upmanship as the unified professional baseball team last year, but the result was different from what they had expected. It was because starting pitchers such as Casey Kelly and Lim Chan-kyu were sluggish. Even so, LG is still a strong contender for the title. The team has stable batting lineup and mound capability, so it has the power to comfort and step up anytime. Here is another weapon called "foot baseball."
As of Thursday, LG had 18 stolen bases in its team, ranking first in the KBO league. The team is four times shorter than the Hanwha Eagles at the bottom of the league with four. LG's baseball games are not limited to this season. Last year, its team stole 166 bases, far ahead of the Doosan Bears (133). There were also many voices of criticism over the "football" game. The biggest reason was efficiency. LG's team stole only 62.2 percent of the time in the 2023 season.
If a steal is successful, it increases the chances of scoring by going one more base. On the other hand, if a stealer fails, not only the out count but also the runner on base will disappear, destroying the chance to score. On the ground, the team says that in order for a steal to be effective in an attack, the success rate should be at least 75 percent. In this regard, LG was criticized for its considerable failure last year. However, "footballing" can be a big weapon in short-term games, including the postseason.
Even if the steal success rate is low, the pitcher has to be conscious of his opponent's battery and bench as he perceives that if a runner goes out on a layover, he can run. This means that his mind becomes complicated. A pitcher must throw the slide step quickly. In order to make it easier for a catcher to block a steal, chances are high that he or she will lead a pitcher by focusing on fastballs with courses outside the strike zone. The faster a slide step is, the less ball power becomes, and a simple combination of balls can be easily read by batters. If a batter signs a pitch-out against stealing, the ball count will be at a disadvantage just as much.
Last year, LG clearly lost money by stealing bases during the regular season. However, it was advantageous in that it made the opponent team conscious, regardless of attempts to steal bases or the success rate in the Korean Series. This year is not much different.
What is as important as a player's main focus in "footballing" is the coach's will. Former manager Kim Kyung-moon, who led his team to a strong team with "footballing" from the Doosan Bears and the NC Dinos in the past, stressed that when the team failed, the most important thing is that the bench does not blame the player for the failure. This means that if a coach passes the blame for the failure to the player, he will not be able to make bold base running. If a manager is out due to absurd steal or base running, the coach will naturally feel bitter inside. Even in such a case, the coach should praise the player's aggressive base running through the media and others, so that the team's stance can continue throughout the season.
LG tied the match against the Samsung Lions 2-2 on April 27. In the bottom of the 12th inning, Oh Ji-hwan, a runner on the second base with one out and runners on the first and second bases, was caught in a rundown while attempting to steal third base, which stuck in the minds of not only the players but also the fans. Nevertheless, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said after the game, "What's worse than failure is the spirit of not taking on challenges. Oh's attempt to steal is not wrong." His commitment and support for 'football' has not changed from last year to this year as well.
