LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's choice was 'hostile'
LG won the game against KT Wiz 8-2 at Jamsil Stadium on the 29th. A game of great significance by reducing the win against the leading Hanwha Eagles to two games.
On top of that, coach Yeom felt better because the ambitious player hit the final shot.
LG called up Son Yong-joon, a second-year college infielder, ahead of the KT match. He graduated from Dongwon National University of Science and Technology last year and was selected in the third round of the rookie draft. It was amazing that a college graduate was nominated in the top round. Usually, high school graduates and pitchers and catchers fill the seats from the fourth to fifth rounds of the draft. It means that you have a powerful weapon.
Yeom said, `He has good qualities when it comes to hitting. However, he still has a lot of things to fill. Rather than expecting something right away, he raised it to the level of gaining experience..." but gave left-hander Oh Won-seok an opportunity to select a designated hitter. Coach Yeom said, `If the opponent starts left-handed, he will play as a first baseman or designated hitter.'

Son Yong-jun said "I hadn't thought about being registered for the first team entry until last week, but I found out because you told me it would be registered over the weekend. Rather than being conscious of something more, I tried to prepare for the game according to the routine I've been doing in Icheon" said daintyly.
Regarding the finishing hit situation, Son Yong-joon said, `I was thinking about turning it hard when the ball I wanted comes. I was timing my fastball, but a changeup came in. It was hit a little ahead of what I thought, but it was a hit by luck. I thought I would like to have another important hit if there is a similar situation like today's first RBI" he said.
Finally, Son Yong-joon said "So many fans visited us in the hot weather that the team was able to cheer up and thank you for your warm support. I will try to become a player who shows you through actions rather than words with good performance like today."
