"It's the result of our coaches' efforts with the players."

The LG Twins are aiming to regain the championship title this season and grow promising players. One of the reasons for the failure of the second consecutive win last year was that the dependence on the main player was high due to the large difference in skills between the main player and the backup.

Batters such as Lee Joo-heon, Lee Young-bin and Moon Jung-bin in the first team do not have many opportunities to participate, so they are training a lot in the first team to fill up their basic skills and improve their skills.




LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `In the end, it takes a lot of effort and help from coaches to grow"These efforts are showing good results."," he said with a satisfied look.

I am satisfied with the development of Lee Joo-heon, who is serving as Park Dong-won's backup catcher. Coach Yeom said "Lee Joo-heon was nervous at the beginning of blocking, but now he is confident and makes it perfect."Hit is also the most advanced among backups." If we continue to develop like this, we can use it as a substitute card in the second half of the year."

Lee Joo-heon is helping Park Dong-won manage his physical strength by starting when he enters the algebra instead of Park Dong-won or Song Seung-ki starts. Lee Joo-heon has a batting average of .25 (10 hits in 40 at-bats) with two home runs and four RBIs, allowing his offense to be maintained to some extent even when Park Dong-won is out.




Coach Yeom said, `Lee Joo-heon, along with coach Mo Chang-min and Kim Jae-yul, regularly performs more than 500 swings after the game every day. He also practices defense every day. I can train because I don't have any physical problems"You can continue to train with coaches like this, establish your own baseball and establish your batting theory." In this way, you can know what process you have gone through and what practice you have improved, so you can come back quickly even if you have a slump in your second year."

Then "Moon Jeong-bin has things to fill in the hitting mechanism. So Moon Jung-bin swings more than 700 times a day, 1,000 times a day. The coach watches about 500, and the other 500 are done by himself. "You have to learn it with your body to make your own. We need that amount of training." Moon Jung-bin also showed the results of his training by hitting a solo shot in the top of the ninth inning against Changwon NC on the 4th.

Song Seung-ki, who has already won six games and a 2.56 ERA as a fifth starter, is also getting better thanks to consistent basic training.




Coach Yeom said, "(Song) Seung-gi has also been doing basic skills programs every evening with Jinyong Jang coach Kim Kwang-sam. As a result of his steady performance since he was discharged from the military last year, his RPM exceeded 2,500, and his average speed increased by about 2 kilometers. My ball control, which I was worried about, has improved."

Coach Yeom said, `If we give promising players basic skills, their development potential will be higher in the future. Coaches should understand players, create training methods for players to do, and make them a steady routine. In order for a player to grow, he needs the hard work and help of coaches"If baseball goes well in the process, trust between coaches and players will be built. The credibility of our players and coaches has increased tremendously now," he said, expressing satisfaction.
