Will it be different this time.

LG Twins left-hander Choi Chae-heung was called up to the first team for the second time this season.

Choi Chae-heung joined the first team ahead of the Hanwha match held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 14th. Baek Seung-hyun filled the expunged seat.




LG, which called up Jung Woo-young the previous day, plans to post Choi Chae-heung to take on the role of long relief.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said before the game, "(Lee) Ji-gang is close to the winning group, so there is no suitable long man in the bullpen. Still, isn't he a player who can control his control?" he said, expressing expectations.

Choi Chae-heung's goal is 'Left-hander Lim Chan-gyu' The key is to control the level through perfect change ball control.




Coach Yeom also emphasized this part. "We gave the homework, and the player has to do it in the end." asked me to make the breaking ball control as perfect as Chan-gyu." Don't you throw the same ball as Chan-kyu, such as slider, curve changeup. The key is how perfectly you can control the ball and throw the curve as slowly and as fast as Chan-gyu. He is a pitcher who clearly has a sense of hand. Rather than increasing the speed of the ball, which has failed so far, that's the faster way to pitch," he said, stressing the importance of tempo pitching.

Choi Won-tae, a compensation player for the FA who moved to Samsung, and left-hander Finnes pitcher wearing an LG uniform.

But it's still below expectations. Since his transfer, he has only had one hold and a 9.39 ERA in four first-team games this season. He also stayed in the first team for only 11 days.




There is a good chance. Samsung's first designated left-hander in 2018. He is a pitcher who has already proven his ability as a 10-win pitcher enough to win 11 games in 2020. LG's compensation player selected without much thought. Depending on how he shows in the second call-up, it is expected to be a welcome rain for LG's bullpen, which lacks left-handers.

Right-hander fireballer Baek Seung-hyun will return with a controller in the Futures League for a while.

Coach Yeom said, "(I don't think the balance is right, so I think it would be much better to throw a lot and find something good."I don't think it will be easy to catch it in the first team. It was the best during the camp, and I looked forward to it a lot, but the good things come and go. If you catch it, you have to catch it already, but it's not yet done,' he said, explaining the background of the expiration.
