Finally, manager Yeom Kyung-yeop passed the quick motion to LG Twins side arm pitcher Jung Woo-young. Coach Yeom said of Jung Woo-young ahead of the away game against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 27th, `Now he cut it within 1.3 seconds even though he had a runner. And he got his own speedIn other words, it means that he has a balance. It used to be in the 5th or 6th inning, but now it can be in the 7th or 8th inning and can be used as a finishing touch," he said, expressing his expectations for Jung Woo-young.
Jung Woo-young took the mound in the top of the seventh inning, 0-0 against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 26th, and recorded one hit and one strikeout. Jung Woo-young, who received a double from Kang Min-ho on the left-field line after two outs, threw a pitch against Lee Sung-kyu and shot 148km. Coach Yeom measured Jung Woo-young's quick motion at this time and threw within 1.3 seconds, showing good speed. Jung Woo-young hit Lee Sung-kyu with a curve to the outside high corner after 2S, striking out a rookie and finishing the inning.
Jung Woo-young's disadvantage of spraying up to 157 kilometers of fast pitching was slow quick motion. When he became the hold king with 35 holds in 2022, he allowed 29 stolen bases and blocked only one, resulting in a whopping 96.7% stolen bases. I tried to change the quick motion quickly last year, but the result was not good. The balance has collapsed and the restraint has been reduced. He looked for different ways several times, but it didn't work out properly, and in the end, he only had 5 wins and 6 losses, 11 holds, and an ERA of 4.70. "I lost. But I didn't steal the bases. He stopped only one of his 17 successes.
Even when going down from the first team on May 15, coach Yeom ordered quick motion to be within 1.3 seconds. If you don't do that, you can't be used as a must-win group like before. Coach Yeom said, `Woo Young is originally a player with a high WHIP (on-base allowance per inning). He defended well even when there was a runner. But now baseball is different. If the quick motion is slow, the runner runs to second base unconditionally. He runs to third base. If that happens, it will not be possible to make a difference of 1 point."
Jung Woo-young can go overseas through posting at the end of next season. The KBO League is officially implementing the pitch clock next season, but the Major League is already implementing the pitch clock. Due to the pitch clock, which has a fixed number of checks and cannot control the interval, stolen bases have also increased significantly in the Major League. Jung Woo-young must make a quick motion within 1.3 seconds to pitch well in the Major League.
In other words, it was essential to shorten the quick motion time to advance to the Major League. By making it within 1.3 seconds this time, Jung Woo-young has opened a big door to the Major League.
`Baseball is science,' manager Han Yeom said. `If a pitcher throws within 1.3 seconds and (Park) Dong-won sits as a catcher, it means that any runner can steal second base.' Jung Woo-young said he is now a pitcher who can watch without worrying about stealing like other pitchers. Now, if you raise your speed to the 150km range and build a hold like before, your dream of entering the Major League can get closer.
