The future of the LG Twins infield learned and experienced the Japanese baseball system.
LG infielders Son Yong-joon and Moon Jung-bin participated in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) Chunichi Dragons 2nd-tier closing camp with Yoon Jin-ho, the second-tier operations coach. He trained with the Chunichi squad from the 1st to the 19th and returned home on the 20th.
Moon Jung-bin said "The intensity of the training was high, and I was impressed by the different body movements of the Japanese players for the technical part. It was a good experience."
Son Yong-jun said "The training intensity was high, but it seems to have helped a lot in the individual guidance and technical training of the coaching team. In batting, I learned a lot of things such as how to apply strength to the ball", he expressed his feelings.
Moon Jung-bin, born in 2003, graduated from Seoul High School and wore an LG uniform with 77th place in the second round of the 2022 Rookie Draft. The robust physique condition of 186 centimeters tall and weighing 90 kilograms attracts attention. He is recognized for his potential to grow into a corner infielder as a promising player with the qualities of a power heater.

Moon has a batting average of 0.167 (5 hits in 30 at-bats), two homers and four RBIs in 21 games in the first team this year. It is still insufficient to establish itself in the first team, but it showed a single-shot long shot. The homework seems to be to bring out the potential of hitting 0.489 (46 hits in 94 at-bats) in the Futures League last year.
Son Yong-joon, born in 2000, graduated from Gimhae High School-Dongwon University of Science and Technology and wore an LG uniform as the 28th in the third round in 2024. He solved the military problem early as an active player, and is using major leaguer Kim Ha-sung as a role model. His main position is shortstop like Kim Ha-sung.
Son Yong-joon stood out in 81 Futures League games this year with a batting average of 0.338 (95 hits in 281 at-bats), an on-base percentage of 0.420, a slugging percentage of 0.431, two homers and 33 RBIs. He also won the Futures All-Star MVP this year. As a result, he made his first debut in the first division this year and posted a batting average of 0.200 (3 hits in 15 at-bats) in nine games.
Will Moon Jung-bin and Son Yong-joon get more opportunities in the first team next year based on their experience studying in Japanese baseball.
