"Hyunsik did a great job."
LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's face was particularly bright. Suwon KT Wiz Park on the first day of the exhibition game on the 8th.
Director Yeom said "It's a lot warmer now"I greeted the reporters with a bright face and had a pre-interview, mixing jokes. Manager Han Yeom, who wanted to see the growth of the backup agent and the middle team through the exhibition game last year, talked about the bullpen and mentioned Jang Hyun-sik, who is out injured at the end.
Coach Yeom said, `I think Jang Hyun-sik, who will join us at the end of the trial game, prepared very well"When my feet hurt, I hung my feet on the chair and exercised so that my arms did not harden." I think I'll be able to prepare well with the training part and match the opening game."
Coach Yeom then took the mound at the end of the trial game, and if it is okay, he will wait to finish the opening game. If you want to do that, you need to have the will to do it. I think you made a good schedule for the training part and Hyunsik did a good job"I finally checked it myself and called Kim Yong-il, the training coach, and he was very positive, so I'm looking forward to it."."
Jang Hyun-sik suffered an ankle injury at the end of the first camp in Arizona. It was not an injury that occurred during training, and I slipped while walking and sprained my ankle. He was injured on the 17th of Korean time, and received an X-ray test at a nearby hospital on the 18th, and was diagnosed with no abnormalities in his bones, but returned to Korea immediately for a detailed examination. The results of the detailed examination, including an MRI scan on the 21st, showed a partial rupture of the ligament on the outside of the right foot. After a week of stabilization, it was found that gradual rehabilitation was possible.
If rehabilitation goes well, it was an injury that could be matched by the opening.

However, LG had to prepare in case Jang Hyun-sik's return was delayed, and manager Yeom drew attention by filming rookie Kim Young-woo in the first round this year, not a veteran with finishing experience. Although he is a rookie, he has a mental strength that is not like a rookie, and the evaluation that the fastball over 150km is heavy made him a temporary finisher, and he put him in as an actual finisher in a practice game in Okinawa, Japan. In the match against KIA, he took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead, blocked one inning with three outs and made his first save, but in the match against KT, he took the mound in the top of the ninth inning when the score was 0-0 and gave up two runs with a walk and a home run, becoming a losing pitcher.
Returning to Korea and receiving a positive report that Jang Hyun-sik could be available for the opening game is a big plus factor in preparing for the season.
Still, Kim Young-woo will take the mound as the closing pitcher during the exhibition game. Coach Yeom said, "(Kim) Young-woo will be much more helpful to use as a closing to gain experience. If you gain this experience, you will be helpful in any position, whether you are in the winning team or the chasing team in the season"He is a player who can challenge for the Rookie of the Year in our team. He also expressed his willingness to foster Kim Young-woo, saying, "He has a lot of strengths."
If Jang Hyun-sik returns to the opening game and throws it as expected, Jang Hyun-sik's injury will have a positive effect on increasing Kim Young-woo's growth rate. For LG, it is a blessing in disguise.
