The LG Twins, which ranks first in the 2025 KBO League, is on a winning streak again. The team won the game against the KIA Tigers 5 to 1 at Jamsil on Tuesday, continuing its three-game winning streak.메이저놀이터
LG had 10 wins and 1 loss (winning rate of 0.909) in 11 games this season through Sunday. LG has been a favorite again this year thanks to its solid pitching staff and perfect combination of hitting and hitting by its batters, who score points whenever they need to score.
With its most overwhelming performance in the early days of the season, LG ranks almost all of the top in various team records. Among them, LG's best records for this year are the starting lineup's quality start (QS, pitching more than 6 innings with 3 earned runs or less) and the batting average in the 1st to 3rd innings. The formula of "basic pressure = victory" is very well matched until the 7th.
LG's starting pitchers marked seven QSs in 11 games through Sunday. The figure is equivalent to the second place (joint second place with the KIA Tigers in the seventh inning) in the league after the KT Wiz (8th inning). However, if the team goes one step further, the No. 1 ranking position will change. In the Quality Start Plus (QS+) category, it recorded the fifth inning, overwhelmingly ranking first among the 10 teams. The second group is KT, Samsung Lions, and Lotte Giants in the third inning.
There is another reason why LG's team QS record is drawing attention. LG won all seven games in which its starting pitcher recorded QS this season. This contrasts with KT, the top team in QS, which recorded only two wins, five losses and one draw in eight games. KIA, which produced seven QSs with LG, also had only two wins and five losses.
LG can use the starting lineup's QS as a stepping stone for its victory because the efficiency of its batters also follows. LG ranks first overall in the team's batting average of 0.307 in the first to third innings among the 10 teams through Sunday. In the nine games it scored first, it recorded eight wins and one loss to rank No. 1 as well. The starting lineup and the batters' early beats match perfectly.
The leading score in the early part of the game gives the starting pitcher the sense of security and confidence to lead the long innings. As the score gap between the initial and second innings is extended to six to seven innings, the probability of winning the game naturally increases.
The final focus on this is LG's defense, which has been operating solidly this year as well. Outfielder Park Hae-min has been re-creating many good defense scenes that he showcased in the 2023 Korean Series. Shin Min-jae, who has firmly established himself as the main second baseman, also flies out of the infield day after day.
As the center line is solid, LG's defense efficiency has been on the rise since the beginning of the season. LG ranked first among the 10 teams in the DER category with 0.756 through Sunday. The twin corps of pitchers, hitters and defense players are moving forward the fastest.
