LG Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop Says he will Refrain from Stealing Bases... Is it Serious or a ‘Bluff’?
LG, the team with the most stolen bases in the regular season, the most stolen bases, base runs, and checks, Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, “The Korean Series is operated to increase the probability of success.”
“Our team has brilliant offense, a brilliant bullpen that will pitch from the 1st to the 9th inning, and a manager who will carry out brilliant strategies.”
Lim Chan-gyu (30, LG Twins) said to Yeom Kyung-yeop (55) at the KBO Korean Series Media Day on the 6th.

The figure that symbolizes LG baseball this season is ‘No. 1 in stolen bases in the league.’
LG, which stole bases 30 times more often than the second-place Doosan Bears (133) with 166 team steals, was the most aggressive baserunning team in the league.
Once the runner went out, the team Battery facing LG was unable to focus solely on the match against the batter as the play was constantly targeting the base.
In fact, Coach Yeom declared that he would refrain from bold base running in the Korean Series.
Coach Yeom said, “The regular season and the postseason are different.
If you made bold base runs in the regular season, you will likely have to steal bases with more probability and caution in the Korean Series.
“We will run the game in a way that increases the probability of success,” he said.
By flipping over a hand that could shake the opponent during the game, he revealed it early.
This can be interpreted as meaning that LG will not take risks as it has an advantage in both power and stamina compared to K Wiz.
On the contrary, it could be a ploy to catch KT Battery off guard and then boldly attempt to steal a base in the game.
Some interpret it as a 'bluff' (cheating) by Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, a 'winner' who operates with all possibilities that may occur in the game in mind.
The effectiveness of LG's aggressive base running was hotly debated throughout the season, divided into pros and cons.
Stealing bases is like a 'two sides of the same coin' strategy that, if successful, greatly increases the probability of scoring, but if unsuccessful, it throws cold water on you all at once.
LG also cast a heavy 'shadow' due to aggressive base running this season, with 101 failed base steals (the most in the league), 78 base runs (the most in the league), and 15 checks (the most in the league).
The probability of winning the first game of the first game of the Korean Series for the team that scored first is 28 out of 40, or 70%, and the probability of the team that scores first in the first game of the first game is 67.5%, or 27 out of 40.
That's why it is important to get the lead in the first game, which will be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 7th.
For LG, the best scenario is for Hong Chang-ki, the built-in number one hitter, to steal second base after getting on base, and the batting line waiting in line to score the first run.
KT Battery is on high alert.
KT's starting catcher Jang Seong-woo's base stealing percentage in this year's regular season was 14.6%, the lowest among catchers who played in more than 100 games.
KT manager Lee Kang-cheol, who is wary of LG's 'running baseball', predicted, "Jang Seong-woo's (Korean Series) ability to block stolen bases will be completely different from the regular season."
