LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop made it clear that he would increase the success rate for stolen bases this season. Since manager Yeom's inauguration, LG has promoted aggressive baseball as a team culture, and the most noticeable part was stolen bases. "Even slow-footed Kim Hyun-soo and Park Dong-won can steal bases."Many players played with the slogan ".
In 2023, LG, which won the championship, tried to steal 267 times, and succeeded 166 times to rank first in stolen bases. Five players, including Shin Min-jae (37), Park Hae-min (26), Moon Sung-joo (24), Hong Chang-ki (23), and Oh Ji-hwan (16), stole double digits. However, the success rate came in last at 62.2 percent. The overall steal success rate was 72.4%.
Last year, LG also became the club that played the most with 250 stolen bases. The team ranks second in stolen bases after the Doosan Bears, who posted 184 stolen bases with 171 successful bids. The team ranked ninth with a 68.4 percent steal success rate, ahead of Hanwha with 62.7 percent, but fell short of the overall average of 74.4 percent. As many as seven people stole double digits.
Too many failures remained a regret. There was also a lot of criticism from fans as to whether they had to play when LG's batting was good.
Coach Yeom said he would increase the success rate this season. This means that he will only play when he is certain.
The success rate of stolen bases in exhibition games is good for now. LG made a total of 13 steal attempts in seven games, 10 of which were successful. The steal success rate is 76.9 percent. Choi Seung-min and Choi Won-young recorded two each, and Koo Bon-hyuk, Kim Hyun-soo, Moon Bo-kyung, Song Chan, and Oh Ji-hwan and Hong Chang-ki added one each.
The success rate of stolen bases in the exhibition game was different. In 2023, he played 50 times in 14 games and succeeded 32 times, with a 64% success rate. Last year, he tried 16 times in eight games and succeeded 14 times, showing a 87.5% success rate.
LG made headlines by using drones during baserunning training at the Arizona Spring Camp. That's how sincere the team is on base running. What will happen to LG's baseball this season.
