"It's Chanui." It's the opening game starter. Good luck."

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop suddenly announced Song Chan-eui, who came to the dugout during training, to start the opening game while talking with reporters ahead of the NC Dinos match in Jamsil on the 17th. LG will hold the opening game against the Lotte Giants in Jamsil on the 22nd, and Lotte has announced that foreign left-handed pitcher Charlie Barnes will be the starting pitcher. This means that manager Yeom decided to let Song Chan-eui, a right-handed batter, play because he is an on-handed pitcher.

Coach Yeom then added a meaningful word "It's not always a chance that comes." This means that Song Chan-eui is well aware of.

Song Chan-eui is a promising right-handed hitter who any LG fan knows well. After graduating from Sunlin Internet High School, he joined LG in the second round of 7th round 67th place in 2018 and ranked first with 6 home runs in the 2022 exhibition game, drawing attention. Song Chan-ui appeared as a troubleshooter for LG, whose right-handed big guns were precious.

He was included in the first-team entry for the first time in 2022 and played as a designated hitter twice in the opening game against the KIA Tigers. However, he only hit 236 (17 hits in 72 at-bats) with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 33 games that year. He also started the opening game in 2023. On April 1, he started at 7-1st base against left-handed Benjamin in the KT Wiz match and had no hits in 2 at-bats. He had a batting average of 566 (1 hit in 18 at-bats) in 19 games that year. Last year, he failed to make the opening entry and played in a total of 10 games, recording a batting average of 67 (1 hit in 15 at-bats).

In the meantime, right-handed prospects such as Kim Bum-seok and Moon Jung-bin are coming out, so Song Chan-ui seemed not to get a chance. However, Song Chan-eui caught the eye of coach Yeom by starting over from the final training after last season. He showed noticeable changes in his seven-hour batting training every day, and that continued to spring camp and exhibition games. And coach Yeom gave him another chance to play in the opening game.

Song Chan-ui did not know " The director gives me a chance, but it's up to me to do it. I'll try to prepare well.'"I played in the opening games in 2022 and 2023 as well, but it was always bad. I'll prepare something different this year"He showed his determination.

He has a batting average of 261 (6 hits in 23 at-bats) with five RBIs and four walks in nine exhibition games. The on-base percentage was quite good at 0.414, and his ability to cope with RBI and two strikes improved.

What has changed this year. Song Chan-eui "Before, I only tried to hit all the balls hard. So there were a lot of fouls and the count started unfavorable"Since I have ABS, I think it fits well with the bat because I only play the ball that I can think about at bat and hit it. " The reason why his batting has improved since the second strike is because of his direction. "I try to hit it to the right a lot. Of course, when I hit it, I didn't go to the right, but when I thought about the direction to the right, I put up with the breaking ball and there was a good contact ball. "

He said he improved a lot while working out with Kim Hyun-soo. "Since the winter, I've been following Hyun Soo-hyung, eating and exercising together. In the United States and Japan, he continued to receive help from Hyun-soo. I think it's helpful for the game because I'm in good shapeSong Chan-eui "Hyun-hyung advised me that the setup would be a little hard, but I agree, so I'm doing it and I think it's good."

For a different result than before, we have to target Barnes in the opening game. Song Chan-eui "I don't remember doing it with Barnes. Hyun-soo and Chang-ki kept telling me to watch the Barnes video. I'll analyze the video and think about what I can do." "I hope every pitcher is good, but what I've been given is a good result against a left-handed pitcher. I will prepare a lot for the left-handed pitcher."

Song Chan-eui was also not afraid of meaning in the results of the exhibition game. Song Chan-eui "The results that are coming out now are divided into different areas of the exhibition game. "Just because you're good now doesn't mean you're good in the season." "But I'm only focusing on what I'm going to do in the season while confirming and establishing what I've been doing so far." It means that the focus is on the process, not the outcome.

He has started three of his four seasons. I think I'll miss this opportunity this time. Song Chan-eui has been aiming for 80 games this season. He played 62 games in the first team.
