Main players were born again this year. It is said that raising only one person a year is a success, but it is a good harvest because one person came from the starting, middle, and infield.
It is about the LG Twins, who are running first.
LG, which has emerged as a new 'Hwapun' that successfully fosters prospects as they rise to the main level every year, has again given birth to new main players this year.
Looking at the current LG squad, there are veterans recruited from outside, but there are also many promising players who have been raised by LG through internal development. This is the result of establishing one or two players in the first team every year.
In the fielders, Hong Chang-ki began to take a mid-range position in 2020. Moon Bo-kyung settled in the first division in 2021, took the main position as the third baseman in 2022, and Moon Sung-joo came to the first division in 2022, creating a sensation. In 2023, Shin Min-jae, who only played as a pinch runner, settled in the empty second baseman and all LG's main players settled down.
On the pitcher's side, Ko Woo-seok was the first to settle down. Ko Woo-seok, who was the first nominee in 2017, took the mound in 56 games in 2018 and gained experience in the middle, and made 35 saves in 2019 to establish himself as LG's finish at once. In 2022, he became the king of saves with 42 saves.
Jung Woo-young also won the Rookie of the Year title by posting 16 holds as soon as he joined the team in 2019, and since then, he has increased the number of holds every year and became the hold king with 35 holds in 2022.
Lee Jung-yong, who was the first nominee in 2019, took the lead with 15 holds in 66 games in 2021, and made the strongest bullpen with Ko Woo-suk and Jung Woo-young with 22 holds in 2022.
In 2023, Yoo Young-chan suddenly came to mind. Despite being his first first first team, he took the mound in 67 games and won six wins and 12 holds, leaving a strong impression by throwing without hesitation in the Korean Series, and Ko Woo-seok left for the U.S. and was selected as a new finish.

Last year, the left-handed selection that he found so much appeared. Son Joo-young, who returned from elbow surgery, won nine games as the fifth starter, creating a new wind for the starting team.
And this season, Song Seung-ki and Kim Young-woo emerged anew, and Koo Bon-hyuk has grown one step further and become a certain main player.
Song Seung-ki started with a new 5th starter as Choi Won-tae left as FA, but he is already on the verge of 10 wins with 9 wins. Kim Young-woo is a high school graduate rookie who was ranked 10th in the first round. He is a prospect who throws up to 156km of fastballs and spent the first team from the closing camp to the Arizona camp and exhibition games, and has gained experience by playing in the first team without ever going down to the second team. With much more stable pitching in the second half of the year, he was recently promoted to a must-win group and took the mound in the eighth inning against Lotte in Jamsil on the 19th, neatly blocking one inning with three outs and winning the hold.
Koo Bon-hyuk has excellent defensive skills, so he has played almost exclusively as a logistical guard. After being discharged from the military, Koo Bon-hyuk, who played as a backup for key players last year and recorded his first batting average in the 20s with a batting average of 257, has clearly established himself as a first-team player this year, with a further batting average of 276.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's shoulders go up whenever there is talk of fostering. Coach Yeom, who has been raising various players since Nexen's days, said, `He studied a lot about fostering. I analyzed a lot about what to do and why some teams failed"I thought about how to raise it, what kind of plan to grow it, and how to increase the probability by experiencing success."
At the same time, he picked LG as a team that is currently good at fostering. Coach Yeom, who cited recent success stories such as Moon Sung-joo, Moon Bo-kyung, Moon Sung-joo, and Shin Min-jae, said, `We prepare one by one and leave it to one place. Just because you experience the first team doesn't mean you become a first team player."
