"Coach, please come closer" Chirinos, who was playful when he saw coach Kim Kwang-sam entering the batter's box, made the bullpen atmosphere pleasant through interpretation.
Chirinos, who will be the LG Twins' first starter this season, pitched the bullpen in short sleeves even in the cold weather.
The exhibition game between the LG Twins and the NC Dinos in the KBO League, which was scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium on the 18th, was canceled.
The LG Twins secured the first starter after signing a $1 million contract with Chirinos after the end of last season. Chirinos, who recorded 20-17 with a 4.22 ERA in 356.1 innings in 75 major league games, is the type of pitcher who induces batters to ground out due to his good control of the course in the strike zone and good pitching of splitters and sinkers.
Chirinos, who made good physical fitness during the spring camp, took the mound twice in exhibition games to check his sense of losing points. Against KT, he allowed three hits, one homer, and three runs in 3.1 innings, and SSG 4.2 innings, six hits and two runs.

Chirinos, who became difficult to take the mound in real life due to the cancellation of snowfall, started pitching in the bullpen with Jang Hyun-sik. While throwing 50 pitches, Chirinos pitched the bullpen in short sleeves until the end, even in the cold weather.
Coach Kim Kwang-sam came to the batter's box to feel Chirinos' ball firsthand. Chirinos, who saw coach Kim, who was one step back from the batter's box, could have been hit while throwing the body course, became playful.
Through an interpreter, he ordered that coach Kim would like him to stick closer to the batter's box. Coach Kim Kwang-sam, who heard from a distance, replied "No Dangerous."
Chirinos, who smiled at coach Kim's reaction, immediately showed off his control by inserting a fastball into a deep course.
After pitching in the bullpen, Chirinos said, `Today, I trained to control the sweeper in the strike zone. And I changed the splitter grip a little bit, and I focused on that part."
