Jung Woo-young, who was forgotten at some point, threw in the first team for the first time. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to throw a fighting spirit that can't hit the ball again even though he knew it before for the rest of the season.

Jung Woo-young, who was registered in the first team on the 13th, made his first appearance this season in an away game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 15th.

He took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning when his team was losing 4-9. Jung Woo-young used to take the mound often in the eighth inning, but the situation was clearly different. Jung Woo-young, who added Ola hold when he was leading in the past, is now losing by a big margin, but he is checking with me.




Jung Woo-young, who threw four consecutive pitches to the lead Choi In-ho and handled it with a ground ball in front of the shortstop, also quickly overpowered Mun Byun with a ground ball in front of the second base.

Roh hit a home run. In the advantageous count of 1B2S, the first slider turned into a deep ball on the body, and the determination of the throw went into the body once again and became a full count. In the end, Noh Si-hwan did not miss the pitch to the center and hit it with strength, and the ball became a home run over the right-center fence.

He then played a full-count match with Kim Tae-yeon, and the last fighting spirit went high in the body, but he was inserted into the corner of the strike zone and struck out a rookie.




Overall, the ball control was not stable. The movement of the ball was severe, so there were many balls that went deep outside and toward the body, and the ball that was put in the middle for control became a home run.

Jung Woo-young, who threw 19 balls on the day, threw 18 of them, his main weapon, and threw only one slider. Up to 148km.

The 8th episode was the 8th, but it was the other 8th. Two years lost. King Hold's new start. Will it be the Avengers this year?

Jung Woo-young, who rose to the hold king with 35 holds with a fast fighting spirit of up to 157 kilometers in 2022, lost his good fastball while trying to change the quick motion, which was pointed out as a weakness for the 2023 upgrade. He only had 5 wins, 6 losses and 11 holds and dreamed of reviving after undergoing surgery to remove bone fragments immediately after winning the Korean Series in 2023, but last year, he played only 27 games due to the aftermath of the surgery and remained 2-1 with 3 holds.

At the end of the season, he flew to the U.S. and tried to regain his speed and find his stable form. Although it seemed to have paid off, it showed difficulty in controlling the ball in the exhibition game and eventually resumed building the basics through basic training in the second team.

In the Futures League, he recently pitched in five games and four ⅔⅔ innings, showing a stable performance of giving up only one walk, so he decided to confirm it in the first team.

If the ball control is stabilized even in the first team, where the tension is much higher, he will be able to play as a must-win group as before.

LG's bullpen is getting stronger as injuries such as Yoo Young-chan and Jang Hyun-sik have returned, Lee Jung-yong will be discharged from Sangmu, and Ham Deok-ju will join the first team this weekend. If Jung Woo-young, who has a lot of experience, is added to this, LG can create a perfect bullpen.

Will Jung Woo-young's efforts pay off this time.
