"If Chirinos is out, it's fatal for our team."

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop has begun special management of first starter Yoni Chirinos.

Chirinos is a foreign ace recruited without renewing his contract with Detrick Ence, who won 13 games last season to win at LG. So far, they are showing as much performance as they expected.




He has started seven games and has a 4-1 record with a 1.67 ERA. He has six quality starts and has a good batting average of 0.190 and an on-base-per-inning allowance (WHIP) of 0.93. More than 150 kilometers of fighting spirit and forkball are impressive.

But there was a moment when my heart sank. On the 24th, Chirinos threw only five innings and voluntarily stepped down against the NC Dinos in Jamsil. At that time, he had five hits and two runs (one earned run) in five innings, and he had 77 pitches to spare, but he was replaced in the top of the sixth inning. At that time, Chirinos felt fatigue in his right arm and requested a replacement.

With Eliaser Hernandez already out injured, even Chirinos was worried about whether he was injured.




Fortunately, Chirinos showed off his robustness by throwing 99 pitches in six innings against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 29th, his next appearance, and pitching four hits and one run in six innings.

Yeom expressed the need for management of Chirinos. "Chirinos will continue to manage it. He has never pitched more than 150 innings in the U.S. and has a history of injury"I plan to keep the rotation until June and then take it out of the entry once Jung-yong returns to give him a break," he said. Since Lee Jung-yong is throwing as a starter in Sangmu, there is no problem in starting even if he returns to LG after being discharged from the military on June 17.

It is subject to special management until it is given a break. `I'm going to manage the number of pitches, and I'm going to try not to throw seven innings as much as possible and hang up about six innings,' he said. `I'm going to manage it more carefully than other pitchers.'

The reason why I do my best to Chirinos is because it is a key power to win the championship. Coach Yeom emphasized the need for Chirinos, saying, `If Chirinos are out, our team will be fatal.'

All the teams that threaten LG have foreign aces. Both Hanwha Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss are pitching well, and Samsung's Ariel Furado and Denny Reyes are also stable. For Lotte, Charlie Barnes is up and down, but Tucker Davidson is pitching as an ace. James Nail and Adam Oler of Kia, which are in the lower ranks but won last year's championship, are continuing to throw very good pitching. As foreign pitchers in all teams are all good, injury of a foreign pitcher is inevitably difficult for the team. Right now, LG is experiencing it with Hernandez's injury. The absence of Chirinos, who is superior to the opponent's ace as the first starter, means that it will be difficult for LG to seek the championship.

If Chirinos completes the KBO League in good health, LG's performance is likely to perform as expected.
