Lee Eui-ri played his part in the 2023 season as well. He won 11 games, lost seven and posted an ERA of 3.96 in 28 games. He pitched 131 ⅔s. There were minor injuries and there were days when he couldn't play long innings due to fluctuations in his ball control. I have to throw well so that this story the ups and downs of the nine pitches doesn't come out, Lee said.

Change-ups can be breakthroughs. Because fast balls have the advantage of being fast balls, if you start to induce weak balls or swings and misses by batters through change-ups, you can get an advantageous ball count. Then, you can reduce the burden on your ball control.

According to Stattiz, a baseball statistics site, Lee's change-up hit rate was 0.190 last year, which was excellent. It was significantly better than 0.265 in the 2022 season. If it gets better here, it is certain that fastball power will be maximized. Right-handed hitters can feel quite burdened.

Lim Ki-young changed his change-up grip and hit the jackpot last year. Lee Eui-ri said, I asked Ki-young as well. However, we cannot rely solely on this. Lee Eui-ri also said, I heard a lot about it in the U.S. and thought about it. I don't just try to keep up with the record. It's important to focus on myself.

The introduction of pitch clock has been postponed. However, it is certain that it will be introduced to the KBO League soon. Many say that it is disadvantageous to pitchers. Lee Eui-ri said, If you perform well in the midst of disadvantage, your value will be higher. That's what I'm going to think.

Lee has his own goal to keep in mind every year. However, he keeps it secret. The same applies this year. If I achieve it, I will tell you what my goal was for this year. I want to finish this season in good health. I will repay you as much as I have high expectations, Lee said.
