LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop often says, `I hate walking the most.' This is because walks are often used as an excuse to lose points. And walks eventually make defenders stand on the ground, lengthening defense time, eating away the physical strength of their teammates. Manager Yeom therefore says "If you want to reduce the score anyway, play a fast count and get a hit."

LG made a first-team entry adjustment on the 23rd. He lowered pitchers Jung Woo-young and Sung Dong-hyun to the second division. The walk given the previous day became a problem.

LG won a 13-5 victory against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on the 22nd. By scoring four points from the first inning, he succeeded in targeting Doosan starter Choi Seung-yong and led 10-0 until the fourth inning to decide the game early.




However, he suddenly gave up four points in the top of the eighth inning with a 11-1 lead. He allowed four runs and only had one hit. Jung Woo-young and Sung Dong-hyun showed signs of nervousness by giving up four outs and four outs amid such a big lead.

Jung Woo-young, who took the mound as the third pitcher after Jang Hyun-sik in the top of the eighth inning, set a favorable count of 1B2S in the match against No. 5 Kim Min-seok, the first batter, and threw three consecutive pitches, all of which became balls and gave up a walk. For No. 6 Kim Ki-yeon, the second pitch in 1B is a ball that hits the body with no outs and runners on 1st and 2nd bases.

Jung Woo-young, who threw three consecutive balls to Kim In-tae, a pinch hitter at No. 7, threw a low strike outside on the fourth pitch, but threw a completely out-of-the-box ball outside on the fifth pitch, allowing another walk, making the bases loaded for free with no outs.




Eventually, he changed to Sung Dong-hyun. Jung Woo-young had as many as 10 balls out of 13 and only 3 strikes.

But even Sung Dong-hyun didn't control well. The first pitch thrown to No. 8 Kim Min-hyuk, the first opponent, became a wild pitch, and the third baseman homered. Then, the second and third pitches came low in a row, and the fourth pitches came high toward the body, making a straight walk and loading the bases with no outs again. He played a full count match against No. 9 Kang Seung-ho, but the slider in the seventh pitch was concentrated in the middle, and Kim Ki-yeon, the third baseman, homered and 11-3.

In the end, the pitcher was replaced again, and Lee Ji-gang came up, and Lee Ji-gang caught three batters in a row with infield ground balls. In the meantime, two runners homered to make it 11-5.




It was a 10-point difference of 11-1, so I hoped for a match to catch up with aggressive pitching, but I increased anxiety by stacking runners due to ball control anxiety.

As a pitcher, I personally don't want to get a hit, so I want to throw it carefully, but depending on the situation such as the difference in scores, there are times when more active games are needed.

When Jung Woo-young took the mound in the top of the fifth inning against Jamsil NC on the 17th, he showed the opposite of good pitching by blocking no runs with an infield grounder and a double play. He came to the first team on the 13th and notified him of his second leg in 10 days. He pitched in four games and recorded a 20.25 ERA without winning or losing. Throwing two ⅔ innings, a hit hits one (homer), and four pitches are five, so it seems that the ball control ups and downs will still need to be refined.

Sung Dong-hyun also came to the first division on May 18 and survived for more than a month, but he has recently been undergoing adjustment in the second division as he has shown signs of anxiety. He has a 9.00 ERA in 12 games this season without winning or losing.
