Even if the plan collapses, it survives. It is the thick depth that only strong teams show.
Professional baseball LG started the season with an unexpected bullpen hunt. This is because there was a problem with the Lee Jeong-yong, Jung Woo-young, and Ko Woo-seok Pil Seung-joo, which were formed last year.
Jung Woo-young,메이저놀이터 the ‘King of Hold’, fell into sluggishness with a decrease in velocity due to a slide step correction. Go Woo-seok, the ‘save king’, suffered from an injury before the season and is currently closed. Temporary closer Lee Jeong-yong, who filled the void, recorded 5 blown saves and did not see the effect of delaying his enlistment. The twin bullpen, which was like an iron wall, became the biggest concern in a year. Then the saviors appeared.
It started with Ham Deok-ju. He joined LG as a trade in 2021, but struggled with injuries and sluggishness and found it difficult to find his traces. After going through pain, she will start flapping her wings again this year. At the beginning of the season, he showed a series of good pitching alone and was reborn as a reliable man. He is active all-weather with 2 wins, 5 holds and 3 saves in 22 games of the season. He also has an earned run average of 1.69 (4 earned runs in 21⅓ innings). He is also a left-hander and can play multiple innings, so he is versatile.
Young blood followed. Yoo Young-chan, a former college graduate, was reborn as a surprise star with the rise in restraint. Starting with the entry into the opening entry, the weight gradually rises while taking a snow stamp on each pitch. Not to mention high school rookie Park Myeong-geun. He stands up to his seniors with his bold mentality and his signature snake fastball. He won his debut hold on the 16th of last month, and after taking on increasingly important positions, he added his first win on the 2nd and his first save on the 3rd. He is already being mentioned as a candidate for the Rookie of the Year award.
LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, “The three players were created (with first-team resources) through the first month of the opening season. That’s why it endures in May,” he explained. Contrary to the coach’s modesty of holding on, the team is on a high-flying march with a win rate of over 70% this month with 10 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. At the center of that is a trio of new bullpens.
The command tower said, “Since the three of us endure (the gap in the starting lineup), the number of blown saves is reduced and a one-point victory is brought. There are less games that turn over. The role of these three is really big,” he raised his thumb.
The complete body is also right in front of you. Go Woo-seok is stretching back from the 2nd team, and Baek Seung-hyun, another right-handed fireballer, is also preparing to join the 1st team. Manager Yeom said, “If Woo-seok and Seung-hyeon return, and Jung Yong-i, who was eliminated from the first team, is added, the Pilseung-group we envisioned before the season can be activated. The depth of the pitching staff will be completed as I thought,” he said, expressing his anticipation.
