Will the LG Twins be able to strengthen their bullpen, which is considered a weakness in the Korean Series.

Jang Hyun-sik, Ham Deok-ju and Park Myung-geun, who should play as a must-win team in LG's first Cheongbaek match, took the mound one after another and scored no runs.

LG held its first Cheongbaek match during its training camp at LG Champions Park in Icheon on the 15th. It was scheduled for the 13th, but was canceled due to rain, so it was held on this day.




The pitchers who stood out in the Blue and White match, which lasted seven innings, are the main bullpen pitchers such as Jang Hyun-sik and Ham Deok-ju and Park Myung-geun. All of them were disappointed with their ups and downs this season.

One of the parts that manager Yeom cares about the most in the Korean Series is the bullpen as well. There were no bullpen pitchers other than Yoo Young-chan and setup man Kim Jin-sung and Kim Young-woo, who gave solid trust at the end of the season. If the second-ranked Hanwha Eagles, who have good starters and bullpens, come to the Korean Series, it is likely to lead to a pitching match, especially as the bullpen becomes important, how much existing bullpen pitchers can be raised to the Korean Series is an important key point for LG.

After Kim Woong, the starter of the white team consisting of the main players, pitched three innings, Ham Deok-ju in the fifth inning of Jang Hyun-sik and Park Myung-geun in the sixth inning took the mound in turn.




Jang Hyun-sik took the mound in the top of the fourth inning, grounded out Kim Joo-sung in front of the shortstop, Son Yong-joon struck out second baseman fly, and Kim Min-soo, ending with a clean three-out. The maximum fastball speed is 145 kilometers.

Ham Deok-joo, who came out in the fifth inning, caught Kim Soo-in with a fly to right field, and struck out Park Dong-won, who entered the batter's box even though he was a back team, with a change-up, his main weapon. Then, he caught Choi Won-young with a ground ball in front of the shortstop and the inning ended.

Park Myung-geun, who came out in the top of the sixth inning, hit a triple to the right-center by the lead Kim Hyun-jong. However, Lee Joo-heon's squeeze bunt was too short, so the catcher quickly caught it and tagged out third baseman Kim Hyun-jong to escape the big crisis. Lee Young-bin was followed by a fly to second base and Park Kwan-woo to center field to finish the game scoreless.

In fact, the big hit of the day was Park Siwon. Park Si-won, who won the entry position for the Korean Series as a promising player, went up to the top of the seventh inning and finished with a fast fastball of up to 153km and a slider of 142km, indicating the possibility of a hidden card in the Korean Series.

Meanwhile, the game was divided into a white team composed of the main players and a blue team with a non-main game, but the game was tied 1-1 until the 7th inning. The batters' batting condition was not good because it was a real game in two weeks. Austin hit a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning and Oh Ji-hwan hit a single, which was all the white team hits.

Five players, including Hong Chang-ki, Shin Min-jae, Moon Bo-kyung, and Kim Hyun-soo and Park Dong-won, did not defend but played as designated hitters, and Choi Seung-min played as center fielder of the white team and left fielder of the blue team and continued to defend without hitting.
