He blocked the bases with no outs. King Hold's potential remained. It was more brilliant in the crisis.

The LG Twins lost 2-6 at home against the NC Dinos in Jamsil on the 17th. Eliaser Hernandez was forced to play hard when he was sent off with a head shot to Park Gun-woo in the top of the second inning, and the batters were silent and lost. The gap with the No. 1 Hanwha Eagles widened to 1.5 games.

Still, there was a big income. This is because it confirmed the possibility of the revival of Jung Woo-young, who had been slowing down for two years. Jung Woo-young took the mound in an absolute crisis with no outs in the top of the fifth inning, trailing 0-3, and showed amazing pitching to prevent additional runs.




Jang Hyun-sik, who blocked the top of the fourth inning well, suddenly shook at the top of the fifth inning. After two consecutive hits, he gave one run with a ball that hit his body in a row, leading to a crisis of bases loaded with no outs. NC is No. 3 Park Min-woo's at-bat.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop replaced the pitcher, and the pitcher he chose at this time was Jung Woo-young. Jung Woo-young, who became the hold king with 35 holds in 2022 but has been sluggish for the next two years, even trained individually in the U.S. to revive this season, but failed to show any significant results, and focused on basic training in the second division due to poor control in the exhibition game.

After showing stability in the Futures League, he came to the first team on the 13th, and although he took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning against Hanwha on the 15th and hit a solo shot by Noh Si-hwan, he finished his first appearance in the first team of the year with two infield ground balls and one strikeout.

Although he was not sure of his control yet, he expected Jung Woo-young's fighting spirit, who has excellent ability to induce ground balls, and succeeded. Park Min-woo's 146-kilometer pitch outside the fifth pitch in 1B2S became a ground ball in front of the third baseman, and third baseman Moon Bo-kyung threw home to force out.

The game against Davison, who met with the bases loaded with one out, was dizzying. After 2S, the third slider became the opposite pitch that catcher Park Dong-won wanted, not the outside. Davison did not miss it and hit it hard, and the ball rolled in front of third baseman Moon Bo-kyung, who caught it, stepped on the third base right next to him and threw it to first base to create a double play.

If he lost a point at this time, the game could have been decided. After Jung Woo-young blocked it without losing a point, Kim Hyun-soo's two-run shot exploded in the bottom of the fifth inning, leading to a one-point thin ice match.




LG could no longer chase and lost points in the eighth and ninth innings, making the score 2-6, but it was clear that Jung Woo-young's super pitching gave LG hope.

It is a pitching that Jung Woo-young himself would have been hopeful of. Since it is true that the past two years have been sluggish, it was enough to boost confidence to prevent the mass loss crisis without allowing a run at a time when self-esteem may fall.

If Jung Woo-young joins the LG must-win group, the LG bullpen can only be filled with must-win groups. Even if the starter collapses, the team will be able to block him with the bullpen at any time to seek a turnaround in the second half. Will Jung Woo-young remember the bases-loaded situation in the top of the fifth inning against NC on the 17th as a turning point.
