Yoo Young-chan, who solidly blocked LG's back door with 26 saves last year, finally caught the ball.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Yoo Young-chan enters the ITP (step-by-step pitching program) after receiving the opinion that he has a bone attached.'
Yoo Young-chan took the finishing position of Ko Woo-seok, who left for the U.S. last year, and became the support of LG's hard bullpen as he recorded 7 wins, 5 losses, 26 saves and 1 hold. Yoo Young-chan, who was selected for the national team at the end of the season and played in the Premier 12, was diagnosed with microfractures in his elbow during a medical check after returning home. First of all, you have to wait at least three months for the bones to stick. So to prevent a recurrence, I had a bone removal surgery to remove my elbow.
If the bone sticks in three months, you can return after rehabilitation and training, but each person has a different pace of bone attachment, so you don't know when you can return. LG Ham Deok-ju also has microfractures, but it does not stick properly, so it is not known when he will be able to return.
Manager Yeom thus nailed Jang Hyun-sik, who came to LG as an FA, to finish this season. Rather than waiting for a pitcher who doesn't know when he will come, he decided that it would be better to nail the main player and make a plan. It is also considered that Jang Hyun-sik has the ability to finish.
Fortunately, Yoo Young-chan was able to start training in about three months. Still, we need time to return.
Coach Yeom said, `I think it should be in June before throwing in the first team.' Still, it could be seen as a pretty quick return compared to what I thought about the second half of the year. This is also a case where the training process has been properly carried out, so it should be considered that it is not yet clear when he will return.
For LG, the fact that there are relievers who will come during the season is a good thing. Lee Jung-yong will come from Sangmu in mid-June, and Yoo Young-chan will be able to return after June. Lee Jung-yong is a pitcher who can both start and bullpen. He mainly played as a bullpen pitcher and then switched to a starter in the second half of 2023, before joining the army, and pitched well.
If there is a problem with LG's starting lineup when Lee Jung-yong returns, Lee Jung-yong can be put in as a starter, and if the starter works well, he can enter the bullpen. It is possible to play the role of a joker who fills the team where it needs to be. And when Yoo Young-chan comes, the team's bullpen can be further strengthened.
