Professional baseball LG Twins pitcher Lee Ji-gang pitched well without losing a point in the first game after going down to the second division after hearing the manager's remarks.

Lee moved down to the second tier on April 27. Lee took the mound as the starting pitcher at the match against KIA in Gwangju on April 26, but lost the game by allowing eight hits (two homers), two walks and one strikeout and six runs in three innings. He was given a chance to start the game due to absence of foreign pitcher Hernandez, who was on the rehabilitation list due to thigh injury, but he displayed disappointing pitching performance.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "I've been giving you a chance for three years, and it's a shame. I've been throwing it to the full count and getting hit in the middle for three years." "If you don't get a chance, you don't get a chance over and over again," he said bitterly.
He started in the second division after a five-day break. He started the first inning with shaky control of his ball. He also walked leadoff hitter Lee Sang-hyuk on the fifth pitch and Ha Joo-seok on a straightforward walk. With runners on the first and second bases with no outs, he handled the Euro game with a fly ball to shortstop, and when he threw a wild pitch, the runner on the second base was tagged out by the catcher's throw. He struck out Park Sang-eon and ended the inning.
In the second inning, he struck out two with a fly ball to the outfield, and walked Lee Min-jae straight. He ended the inning with a fly ball to the center field. In the third inning, he had two fly balls and struck out to end the game with three outs.
LG scored one run in the bottom of the third inning and had a hit by leadoff hitter Euro Gyeol in the fourth inning, but the runner disappeared due to a failed steal of the second base. The inning ended with two fly balls. The fifth inning with seven balls, a fly ball, a strikeout, and a three-way strikeout.
He had consecutive hits by Bae Seung-soo and Lee Sang-hyuk in the sixth inning, and when Ha hit a ground ball to the second base, the runner was out at the second base, making it one out and runners on the first and third bases. With Euro Gyeol on a walk, the team is in danger of loading the bases with one out.
He handed the ball over to relief pitcher Woo Kang-hoon. Woo Kang-hoon struck out and grounded out to prevent any additional runs. He allowed three hits, four walks, and four strikeouts in five ⅓ innings. There were no runs due to the relief pitcher's good pitching, and four walks were regrettable.
Lee was drafted by LG with the 85th overall pick in the second round of the ninth round of the 2019 rookie draft. He pitched in four games (11 innings) in 2022, recording an ERA of 4.91.
After Yeom Kyung-yeop took over as LG's head coach, the opportunity to take the mound gradually increased. He threw as a swingman between the bullpen and the temporary starter. Last year, he recorded two wins, three losses, one hold and one save with an ERA of 4.53 in 46 games (53 ⅔ innings). He does bad things, but he does not have a clear ball, and he has not been able to advance to the next level due to his pitching tendency.
He has one win, one loss, one hold, one save and an ERA of 4.52 in eight games in the first team this season.
