KT Benjamin, who burns his resolve in PO Game 5, “Does anything for the team to win”
KT Wiz foreign pitcher Wes Benjamin is showing his determination for the 5th game of the professional baseball playoffs (PO, 3 wins in 5 games).
The KT, which is behind NC Dinos with 1 win and 2 losses,
must win the 4th game on the 3rd to play the 5th game. 파워볼사이트

The starting pitcher for Game 5 has not yet been announced.
Benjamin started in Game 2 of PO on the 31st of last month and became the losing pitcher after allowing 4 hits, no walks, 2 strikeouts, and 3 runs in 5 innings.
Benjamin, whom we met ahead of Game 4, said, “If I go to Game 5, I think I will face the best pitcher,
(Eric) Peddy,” and expressed his determination, “I will not fight that player, but myself.”
He said, “If NC Dinos gets a bullpen pitcher out a little sooner,
I think our team will also have a good opportunity.”
When asked what difference there would be from the second game, he said, “If there is such a thing,
I can’t say it publicly,” and then laughed and replied,
“I think there will be good results if I focus on my mechanics and pitch my own way.”

The second game of PO was also Wes Benjamin’s first real game in 25 days after suffering from left arm pain.
However, he had the misfortune of being hit in the thigh by a hard ball in the top of the 5th inning.
Benjamin reassured him that his condition had recovered to 100%.
Benjamin said, “Actually, I had a nerve problem in my neck,
but the doctor and trainer helped me a lot, and my physical condition has improved a lot.
Even when I got hit by a batted ball, it was lumpy for 2 or 3 days,
but today when I pitched in the bullpen,
it didn’t hurt and my physical condition was perfect.”
“It does,” he said.
KT’s starting pitcher on this day was William Cuevas, who took the mound four days after the first PO game.
It reminds me of Benjamin’s dedication last season.
At that time, Benjamin took only two days off after leading the team to victory in the last home game of the regular season and pitched in the bullpen in the wild card game against the KIA Tigers.
And after only three days of rest, he started in the second game of the semi-playoffs against Kiwoom Heroes.
