Cuevas and Choi Won-tae will face off against each other as starters in the second game of the 2023 KS Professional Baseball League, held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 8th.

Cuevas has made a forced march, making three starts in the past nine days.

On the 30th of last month, he threw 75 balls in the first game of the playoffs (PO) against NC Dinos, and on the 3rd, he started again in the 4th game of NC and PO and saved the team by throwing 73 balls in 6 innings.

And after another four days of rest, he stands on the KS mound.

It is not an easy situation, but William Cuevas is full of confidence.

Ahead of the first KS game held at Jamsil Stadium on the 7th, he said, "I am enjoying KS," and "I didn't get much rest, but it's okay.

I've completed all preparations for the sortie."

He pledged to win, saying, “We didn’t get good results against LG in the regular season, but the atmosphere in KS is different.”

As he said, Cuevas was particularly weak against LG this year.

He pitched in 18 games this year in the regular season, recording 12 wins, no losses, and an ERA of 2.60, but he faltered with an ERA of 11.45 in 3 games against LG.

Most of LG's batters showed off their strengths against Cuevas.

Hae-min Park (3 hits in 5 at-bats), Bo-kyung Moon (3 hits in 5 at-bats, 2 home runs), Hyun-soo Kim (4 hits in 7 at-bats), Park Dong-won (1 hit in 2 at-bats), and Seong-ju Moon (3 hits in 7 at-bats) literally swung bats.

Cuevas must overcome adverse conditions such as cold weather and insufficient recovery time.

On the other hand, Wontae Choi throws the ball in top physical condition.

Choi Won-tae was recruited by LG to help them win the Korean Series.

LG, which was experiencing problems with starting pitchers, recruited Choi Won-tae, who played for Kiwoom Heroes, in the midst of losing fielder Lee Joo-hyung, pitcher Kim Dong-gyu, and a first-round pick in the 2024 rookie draft last July.

LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said at the time, “The final puzzle for winning the KS has been put together.”

Choi Won-tae will start the second game to complete his final mission.

Choi Won-tae posted a record of 9 wins, 7 losses, and an average ERA of 4.30 in this year's regular season.

Before the trade, he was active with an earned run average in the 3-point range, but after July, he revealed physical problems and showed somewhat disappointing results.

However, he rested sufficiently after the end of the regular season to conserve his strength.

He last pitched against the Doosan Bears on September 30th and then rested for a whopping 39 days.

It is also reassuring to have a line of fresh and strong bullpen pitchers waiting.

However, Choi Won-tae does not have many happy memories against KT.

He played one game with KT this season and was shaken, allowing 5 hits, 1 walk, and 2 runs in 3 innings.

Last year, when he was playing for Kiwoom Heroes, he played one game with KT and gave up 4 runs in 2 innings.

LG's loss in the first game of KS is also a burden.

LG lost 2-3 in the first game of Korean Series on the 7th and will be pushed to the brink if they lose the second game.

Choi Won-tae must take the mound with a heavy sense of responsibility.
