'We need to win next year, but there are killers everywhere...' The comeback of 2 killers who seemed like they were going to leave. Still, the two of us split up. I'm curious about the renewal of "Hidden Killer"

It's about the LG Twins. There were many 'killer' who threw well against LG this season.
The representative LG killer was KT Wiz's left-hander Wes Benjamin. Last year alone, he played in five games against LG, recording an impressive 0.84 ERA with four wins, no losses, and a 1.93 ERA in four games this season, still throwing well against LG.
However, Benjamin failed to renew his contract next season. He had 11 wins and 8 losses this year, but he was not good with a 4.63 ERA. But KT brought a better LG killer than Benjamin. Signing Emmanuel de Heysus, who played for the Kiwoom Heroes. Heysus pitched in three games against LG this season and recorded three wins. He allowed only one run in 19 innings and even that was a non-visibility, so his ERA was 0.00, a perfect LG enemy. He went back to the U.S. after his contract with Kiwoom was canceled, but KT succeeded in catching him.
Conor Seabold of the Samsung Lions was also good for LG. He threw two games, one win, no loss, and an ERA of 0.60. On June 26, he had a good performance of three hits and one run (non-earned) in seven innings in Jamsil, but failed to become a winning pitcher, and on July 30, he became a winning pitcher with six hits and one run in eight innings in Jamsil. He effectively blocked LG batters by throwing long innings.
Connor had an 11-6 record with a 3.43 ERA in 28 games this year, but failed to renew his contract. He got an injury at the end of the season and failed to throw it in the postseason, but he failed to renew his contract of understanding. However, Samsung's new foreign pitcher instead of a corner is another LG killer. Ariel Furado, who threw for two years at Kiwoom. Furado was 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA in five games against LG last year, and also showed good performance with 1-1 with a 2.88 ERA in four games this year.

There is also a killer that LG is watching. It's Kyle Hart of the NC Dinos. Looking at the performance against LG this season, it doesn't look very good. He had two wins and no losses in three games with a 4.76 ERA. It means that he won but lost a lot of points. However, if you look closely, it is a scary being.
Hart, who allowed seven hits and five walks in five innings in Jamsil on April 2, his second appearance of the season, but won his first victory of the season with the help of the batters, did not give the impression that he was very strong against LG, with five hits and four runs in five ⅓ innings in Changwon on May 2, his second appearance.
However, on June 28, Changwon had a completely different pitching. He became the winning pitcher with four hits and one run during six ⅔ innings. When the sweeper he was practicing was completed, he became a pitcher that LG hitters could not cope with. Since then, Hart has continued his good pitching and approached the Triple Crown to compete for MVP with KIA Kim Do-young, to the extent that LG is fortunate not to have met Hart.
Hart, who dreams of challenging himself in the Major League, has yet to renew his contract with NC. NC has signed new pitcher Riley Thompson and is waiting for Hart's signing.
Many teams will cheer for Hart's major league challenge, but it is clear that LG is one of them.
For LG, which is trying again to win next season, the possibility can be increased only by knocking down the killers. It is bad news for Heysus and Hurado, who were strong against LG, to return in KT and Samsung uniforms, but it is good news that Benjamin and Connor left. That's how much less pressure you have. In addition, a new LG killer may be born, but LG should be grateful for leaving even the existing killer.
