When his new family, Tolhurst, came to the ground wearing a FinStreet uniform, all the eyes of his colleagues were on him.

The LG Twins, seeking to win, announced on waivers Hernandez, who had been sluggish this season, and recruited a new foreign pitcher Tolhurst.

The bullpen on the first base at Jamsil Stadium is set to play on the 9th. When the new foreign pitcher Tolhurst appeared, all eyes were on him, including Yeom Kyung-yeop, Kim Kwang-sam, and Park Kyung-wan.




Before Tolhurst's full-fledged bullpen pitching, coach Kim Kwang-sam took off his hat and even came to the main catcher Park Dong-won when he showed up wearing equipment," he said, raising the atmosphere of the scene.

Catchers Park Dong-won and Park Kyung-wan admired Tolhurst's ball by checking his cheeks with their own mitts and eyes.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who was watching Tolhurst bullpen pitching, approached him in person and talked about his grip.
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who was watching the pitching closely, went down to the bullpen during the break and put Tolhurst and KBO official balls in his hands to talk about the grip of each breaking ball.

LG, which chose to part with El Dong-won to win, signed a contract with Tolhurst for a total of $370,000, including an annual salary of $270,000 and a transfer fee of $100,000. Right-hander Tolhurst went 4-5 with a 4.65 ERA in 18 minor league games this year.




On the background of recruiting Tolhurst, LG said, `He is a pitcher of various pitches and has high-quality ball power and control. Recently, it has shown good performance along with a clear growth trend. It is expected that the team will quickly adapt to the KBO league and play the role it wants," he said, expressing anticipation.

Tolhurst, who played about 30 bullpen pitchers, finished his first training session in a cheerful mood.
