Peddy is the ace of the team. He has established himself as the best pitcher in the league this season with 20 wins, 6 losses and 180 ⅓ innings with an ERA of 2.00 209 strikeouts and a WHIP (per-inning on-base percentage) of 0.95. He swept the lead in wins, ERA and strikeouts to confirm the Triple Crown.
The series record is 2 wins and 2 losses. Peddy was expected to be the starting pitcher for Game 5 to decide to go to the Korean Series, but NC picked Shin Min-hyuk. The reason is that Peddy's physical condition is not perfect yet. There is a big variable, but for now, Peddy waits in the bullpen and prepares to play in the second half of the game.
Coach Kang said, "Peddy's fatigue has not fully recovered at the moment. Watch the process a little and wait in the middle. I'll keep an eye on the situation. I'll wait in the bullpen and see if I can take the mound," he explained.홀짝게임
"After taking the mound in the first game, I continue to talk about the weight of my shoulder area. I had time to recover, but I think I'm very tired to talk about my discomfort. He added, "I think it's too much for a starting pitcher, but I'm going to prepare for the middle and decide."
NC changed its lineup to change its offense, which rapidly cooled in Game 3 and Game 4 of the playoffs. The hot batting sense that seemed to be ahead with a total of 10 hits and two runs in the third and fourth games has disappeared. Jason Martin, the fourth batter who had been keeping the center after deploying Seo Ho-chul forward to No. 2, went down to No. 6.
The lineup consisted of Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Seo Ho-cheol (third baseman), Park Min-woo (second baseman), Park Gun-woo (right fielder), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Martin (center fielder), Oh Young-soo (first baseman), Kim Hyung-joon (catcher) and Kim Joo-won (shortstop), and starting pitcher Shin Min-hyuk.
