Will Chung Dong-yoon become the fifth starter for SSG Landers this season. The expectations of the head coach are full.

"Jung Dong-yoon will start today," said Lee Sung-yong, manager of SSG, who met at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 16th. I think about 80 pitches. I'm going to put Choi Min-joon on the back for a long time."

He then added that he will decide on the fifth starter after throwing Song Young-jin once against the KIA (Tigers)."

SSG was missing five starts due to Mitch White's injury absence. Song Young-jin, Park Jong-hoon, Kim Gun-woo, and Jeong Dong-yoon are competing for the fifth starting pitcher.

Originally, it was the starting day of native ace Kim Kwang-hyun. However, Kim Kwang-hyun came out a day earlier because of the rain news.

The rain has stopped, but a chilly wind is hovering around the ground. Coach Lee Soo-yong revealed his complicated intentions while going around the ground with Kim Si-jin, the Gyeonggi supervisor who is also 'Eunsa'. He said "Will LG have the main players? We're going to have our main players hit at least one or two at-bats. Doosan and Lotte have a lot of left-handed pitchers, so they have to prepare for left-handed pitching, so it's important to face the starting pitcher today (Son Joo-young)."

Director Lee Soo-yong said of Chung Dong-yoon "I saw him briefly late last year, and first of all, he is very sincere. The ability to practice and reflect feedback immediately is also good. In this year's spring camp, the speed rose 4-5 kilometers," he said, expressing his pride.

"I was originally a pitcher with a good curve, but I got better by using my fighting spirit more than my four-seam. The sweeper practice this time is also effective. "However, I don't have much experience in the first team yet, so I have to adapt to it like a tempo." If you gain experience, you will have a sense of stability."
