It's amazing every time I see it. Everyone who sees it asks if it's okay to throw it like that.

Bae Jae-joon, a right-hander of the LG Twins in his 13th year. Bae Jae-joon, who graduated from Daegu Sangwon High School and joined the team as the 16th member in the second round in 2013, came to the first team only in 2018 after undergoing elbow surgery and solving military problems after joining the team. In 2019, he pitched 62 innings in 19 games, including 12 starts, recording 3 wins, 4 losses and a 5.23 ERA. However, the speed limit remained in the mid-140km range, so it was no longer large. He played only 15 games in 2021 and 17 games in 2022, made only one game in 2023 when he won the championship, and did not see him in the first team at all in 2024.

Bae Jae-joon, who had been forgotten like that, suddenly returned to the first team with a 150km fastball. However, the pitching form became unique. Bae Jae-joon, who was no different from ordinary right-handed orthodox pitchers until last year, threw in a pitching form that anyone could only tilt their head,




In the set position, the position of the glove stopped on the face side, not on the stomach, and immediately pulled the ball out and lifted it up. It's as if he's showing the ball he's going to throw to the batter. With the ball held up, he raises his legs and makes a pitching motion to spray the ball, and it comes out more than 150 kilometers.

Bae Jae-joon, who entered the first division entry at the opening and went down to the second division because he had no chance to take the mound, has pitched in four games since he came back to the first division on April 15. Bae Jae-joon, who is in the chasing team, has a 5.06 ERA without winning or losing. In the match against Incheon SSG on the 20th, he recorded three hits, one out, two strikeouts, and three runs in two ⅓ innings, but showed stable pitching without allowing a run in the remaining three games.

Since the ball is taken out in advance and the ball is raised above the head, the batter seems to know all the pitches by looking at it, but it's amazing to see that he doesn't get a hit.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `The direct ball and the curve are not marked well, but the case of folk ball can be seen"And yet "I developed it myself. I didn't get arrested, but I changed it to that form and came up. The speed was only 144km, but I changed it like that and it came out more than 150km. So no one can say anything about it."

Manager Yeom continued, `No pitching coach said anything, but he changed it himself"I changed it because I had my own feeling, but I can't ignore that feeling" he acknowledged his own style.

Bae Jae-joon struck out Park Min-woo in the top of the seventh inning with two outs and a full base in the top of the seventh inning when Baek Seung-hyun gave a walk against NC in Jamsil on the 24th, and he took the mound in the top of the eighth inning and struck out Son Ah-seop and pinch hitter Oh Young-soo in succession, then caught Seo Ho-cheol with a ground ball in front of the shortstop to finish the inning. Judging from the fact that he threw a fork ball to Son Ah-seop to induce a swing and miss to strike out, the grip does not seem clear to the batter.




the result of his efforts to survive. Will Bae Jae-joon, who became a fireballer despite his unusual pitching form, be able to establish himself as a first-team pitcher for the first time in 13 years.
