Start from the first stage, stop from the fourth stage, start from the sixth stage … Daily MVP
Drew Luczynski, 32, secured the mound, the highest spot on the Gocheok Dome Ground, at every step to win the first-ever Korean Series (KS) founded by NC Dinos.
On the 17th, which marked the beginning of a new story, he took a starter in KS’s first game, led NC’s first KS win, and ended the match with salvation in the fourth game, which was driven by 1 win and 2 losses.
In Game 6, when NC confirmed the KS championship, Luchinsky dominated the mound.
In 2020, the performance of KS and Luchinski was 0.69 with an average ERA of 2 wins and 1 save in 3 games.
He pitched 13 innings and only gave up 1 run (3 runs) and struck out 12.
Luchinski started the sixth round of the 2020 KBO KS postseason game against the Doosan Bears at the Gocheok Skydome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 24th, and gave up 6 hits and 2 4 1/2 balls in 5 innings but did not score a goal.
Amid Luchinsky’s counterattack, NC won 4-2 and confirmed the KS championship in 2020 with a 4-win, 2-loss series.
The KS Best Player (MVP) honor was bestowed on fellow catcher Euiji Yang, but Luchinski also performed as well as MVP.
Luchinski gave the MVP to Yang Eui-ji, who received 33 votes in the press ballot and 36 votes.
Instead, he became the daily MVP of the sixth game.
The dream of becoming KS MVP’s first foreign pitcher has failed.
Tom Quinlan (2000, Hyundai Unicorns), Tyrone Woods (2001, Doosan), and Yamaiko Navaro (2014, Samsung Lions) were among the KS MVPs, but they were all beasts.
However, everyone recognizes Luchinsky’s contribution.
He started the first game on the 17th and won the start with 5⅓ innings and 5 hits and 3 runs (1 ERA).
In Game 4 on the 21st, he started in the seventh inning, leading 2-0 and saved 2⅔ innings with no hits.
Luchinsky, who threw 39 balls in Game 4, took a break from the second to start Game 6 and, as Lee wished, blocked 5 innings without a run.
In the fourth game, Luchinski’s salvation appeared and he held the mound until the end of the game, when NC manager Dong-wook Lee picked up the “ best place to win the Korean Series. ”
Luchinski said: “I am very happy to finish this long season in a pleasant way,” he said.
Looking back on 13 innings in 3 games over a week, he said, “I just held him accountable for what he had to do.
Seeing catcher Yang Ui-ji and the beasts doing their best, I thought that if he couldn’t overcome the pressure, he was doing his best. “
Luchinski, who avoided the goal even after allowing Doosan six hits in Game 6, said: “If you faced Doosan three times in a week, there must have been something directed at other hitters.
He responded with good control and had a good game. “
Although the Korean Series MVP was awarded to Yang Eui-ji by three votes, Luchinski said, “It didn’t matter who got the MVP.
I kept thinking in my mind that, of course, you must take a positive will, ”he laughed widely.
Regarding positive will, Luchinski said, “A very cool person.”
He praised him because he believed he was a great receiver and knew the Doosan players very well.
He added: “It’s great to see you get up first and lead the team when there is something difficult or a difficult time.”
“I am very impressed to be able to win the first North Carolina championship together,” Luchinski said. “I’m not exercising today.
I’ll just celebrate and enjoy. “
