Kim took the mound as a relief pitcher in the ninth inning of a game against the NC Dinos at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. He took the mound at the time of 1-3 and ended the game with three strikeouts and one out in one inning. His fastball speeds of up to 158 kilometers caught the eye. LG lost the game 1-3, and suffered its first game of the season, but his pitching has been a source of comfort for LG fans.
Kim Young-woo grounded out to shortstop by hitting a 155-km fastball from the sixth pitch from the full count. He threw only one curve ball and five fastballs. His fastball speed ranged from 153 kilometers to 156 kilometers.
What was more surprising was that he threw a high-speed ball on the first pitch against Kim Hyung-joon. The first pitch was recorded at 158 kilometers on the electronic display. The audience was in turmoil. After swinging, the batter slightly flinched at Kim Young-woo's fastball. Then, the 157-kilometer fastball was stuck in the middle, while the 156-kilometer fastball turned into a ball. He garnered a fastball swinging at the 157-kilometer fastball. Kim Hyung-joon swung three times but never missed the ball.
With two outs, Kim threw two fastballs, 157 kilometers to Han Seok-hyun, and ended the inning with a ground ball to the third baseman. Even though he hit the bat on the fastball, the bat was pushed to the pitch.
Kim warmed up in the ninth inning of the previous day but did not take the mound, throwing 11 fastballs and one curveball. The speed of his fastballs was 153 kilometers and 158 kilometers. The average speed of his fastballs was 156 kilometers. He had eight fastballs over 156 kilometers.
He broke his personal best speed limit. Kim made his debut on March 29 at the match against NC Dinosaurs in Changwon, and threw 157 kilometers for the first time in his life, breaking his personal best speed limit of 158 kilometers.
Kim Young-woo was selected by LG with the 10th overall pick in the first round of the 2025 rookie draft. He was a year behind his classmates because he underwent elbow surgery and rehabilitation in his second year of high school. In June last year, he threw a maximum speed of 156 kilometers in the high school-college All-Star Game.
After receiving the nomination from LG last year, he participated in the closing camp in November and received recognition from the coaching staff early on for his potential. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop welcomed the decision by saying that he now has a pitcher who can throw fast balls over 150 kilometers.
Coach Yeom said he took Kim to the spring camp for the first team and vowed to include him in the opening entry early on. At the Arizona camp in February, Yeom expressed his expectation, saying, "It reminds me of Doosan Bears' Kim Taek-yeon." His main weapon is fast speed ball, and his fork and curve breaking balls are pretty good. If he manages his ball control, he can grow like Kim Taek-yeon.
Kim has pitched in 10 games and posted an ERA of 3.00 with one hold. He pitched nine innings, and had six hits, five walks, 13 strikeouts, and a WHIP of 1.22. He has remarkable strikeouts.
