No matter how much we prepare, we are worried when the opening approaches. LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop gave a positive review of the results of the spring camp in the 2025 season, but he did not hide his anxiety.
LG returned home on the 5th after completing all of its first and second off-season training in Arizona, the United States, and Okinawa, Japan.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `It gets complicated when the season starts. Still, a person has anxiety on one side."
First of all, I'm worried about the closer. Jang Hyun-sik, who was recruited as an FA, injured his ankle in Arizona. He started pitching, but it is unclear whether he will be 100% ready until the opening.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `The ball power is important for Jang Hyun-sik. I think I can come in at the end of the exhibition game. At that time, it's important to have your own ball come out. If it doesn't come out, you have to wait a little longer" he said.
Rookie pitcher Kim Young-woo will audition for a closer in an exhibition game. If Kim Young-woo receives a passing score in the actual game, he can take on a temporary closing role until Jang Hyun-sik fully recovers.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `First of all, Kim Jin-sung, Kim Kang-ryul, Jang Hyun-sik should show good performance in the exhibition game. They should take the center stage and support Woo Kang-hoon, Park Myung-geun, Baek Seung-hyun, Kim Young-woo, and Jung Woo-young. Kim Dae-hyun, Lee Woo-chan and Choi Chae-heung are also looking forward to it,' he said, revealing the bullpen management framework slightly.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `First of all, the composition of foreigners starts in the most stable of the three years I've coached. The wind is for two players to win more than 30 games. You have to win more than 15 games against the first starter of another team. It's also possible. Our batting and defense are not behind other teams. If foreign pitchers play their part, I think 15 wins will be possible," he said highly.
Coach Yeom plans to actively utilize the platoon system this year. If there is an extremely weak hitter depending on the opposing pitcher and the matchup, I will not force myself to use it.
Coach Yeom said, `There are players who are weak in left-handed pitchers. I wondered if I should use a right-handed hitter. If a left-handed pitcher who doesn't fit at all comes out in a one-on-one match, it is also a way to send out right-handed hitters to give them a break. I'm thinking of a variety of strategies"He confessed.
LG will play its first exhibition game against KT in Suwon on the 8th.
