SEOUL - In a remarkable showing, 22-year-old KT Wiz reliever Son Dong-hyun has made an impactful debut in his first postseason in South Korean baseball. The young pitcher played a crucial role in securing a victory for his team in the Korean Series.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Son delivered an exceptional performance during Game 1 against the LG Twins, pitching two perfect innings on Tuesday night. His efforts in the seventh and eighth innings were pivotal in the Wiz's 3-2 win over the Twins. Son was credited with the win following his team's go-ahead run in the ninth inning, and teammate Park Yeong-hyun sealed the game with a clean bottom ninth for the save.

Previously, Son was recognized as the MVP in the series against the NC Dinos, having appeared in all five games. He pitched seven shutout innings, allowing only three hits and securing a win and a hold. Despite the high pressure of postseason games, Son has demonstrated a remarkable ability to stay composed under stress.

KT Wiz highlighted Son Dong-hyun's reflections on his experience before Game 2 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. Son shared his initial nervousness, which dissipated once he stepped onto the field. He expressed his gratitude and sense of accomplishment in being able to pitch in such a significant setting.

Son's maturity and perspective are noteworthy, especially given his young age and the pressure of performing in a high-stakes environment. The Game 1 victory was particularly challenging as it took place in front of a sellout crowd of 23,750 fans at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, predominantly supporting the LG Twins. The intense atmosphere created by the home crowd's chants and their overwhelming presence could have added to the pressure, yet Son navigated it with impressive poise and skill.
