A refreshing lead. Can manager Yeom Kyung-yeop give the LG Twins another championship following 2023.

The eyes of the LG Twins are already on the Korean Series. The batters are already satisfied, and the starters have also gained stability.

The goal for the rest of the season is to build a powerful bullpen like two years ago, when he won the championship.




LG's ERA in this season's bullpen was 3.93, ranking third overall. However, it is worrisome that the runner-up is the Hanwha Eagles (3.76), who are competing for the title.

The first runner-up is SSG Landers (3.24), who built a wall-to-wall bullpen. This is the secret of SSG's ability to maintain its upper-middle-class status throughout the season despite the injury. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop is also well aware of this.

When LG won its first championship in 29 years in 2023, in addition to closer Ko Woo-seok, Kim Jin-sung, Jung Woo-young, Lee Jung-yong, Yoo Young-chan, Park Myung-geun, Baek Seung-hyun, Ham Deok-ju, and Baek Seung-hyun were the most powerful bullpens.

Currently, LG's must-win group consists of veteran Kim Jin-sung, rookie Kim Young-woo, and closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan. Recently, he properly showed off his power in the process of overturning Hanwha. Trust has built up that no matter what team they fight for the bullpen, they won't lose.

The process of raising Kim Young-woo was also not easy. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Kim Young-woo has never let go of a single game. When a situation where you can experience success as much as possible was created, you took the mound, and the result is the current growth. Gyeonggi Province should not go too far. I had a hard time controlling itWhat makes Kim Young-woo different from other pitchers is that he has a clear fastball. Long-running emphasized that the No. 1 condition for the bullpen is fast fastball.

"If Kim Young-woo grows up well this year, he will be a certain winning group next year, and if he does that well, he will be selected for the Asian Games, and then his military service will be resolved." So far, if you throw multi-innings, your speed drops significantly. "First of all, I'll throw it to the bullpen for about two years, and then I'll think about changing my position."

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop is not satisfied. He said "Our biggest homework right now is the bullpen. Fortunately, it is being dealt with thanks to Kim Young-woo's preparation in advance, but the rest of the bullpen needs to be improved for the rest of the regular season. If you fill it up one by one, there will be a good flow."

In particular, Jang Hyun-sik is a pitcher that manager Yeom Kyung-yeop predicted to finish before the season. However, he played 75 ⅓ innings in 75 games and recorded 5 wins, 4 losses and 16 holds in the process of winning the KIA championship last year. It is explained that the aftermath remains until this year.

"First of all, Jang Hyun-sik, Lee Jung-yong and Ham Deok-ju have risen to some extent now. If Park Myung-geun and Baek Seung-hyun come up on top of this, the bullpen I planned will be made at the end of the season. Even if the players hit the floor, it is the power of the team's power to keep them alive by considering them to get as little damage as possible. Our team has that good balance. I had some luck, too."
