"'Junpil left hand' The cravings are the fastest in the 147km left-handed bullpen, even with two hits, one walk, and three runs..." Kim Yoo Young has two left hands.

LG immediately joined the first team on the 16th, the next day after Lim Joon-hyung, who was discharged from Sangmu. And the next day, on the 18th, Kim Yoo-young returned to the first team. LG, where left-handed pitchers are precious, has two left-handed bullpens, Kim Yoo-young and Lim Joon-hyung, in the first division.
Kim Yoo-young came to LG as an FA compensation player for Yoo Kang-nam last year, but he couldn't throw in the first team after undergoing surgery to remove bone fragments in his elbow. He finally pitched in the first team this season, recording a 4.01 ERA with one win, two losses, one save and four holds in 34 games. Although there were ups and downs, Ham Deok-ju was filling the gap quite brilliantly, who was away by surgery. However, due to fatigue in his elbow, he went down to the second team on June 27 and was treated and rehabilitated for about 20 days.
Lim Joon-hyung also underwent surgery to remove bone fragments at Sangmu. He underwent surgery late in the season last year and took the mound twice in April this year before rehabilitating again.
Lim Joon-hyung made his first appearance against the SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 17th. He took the mound as the second pitcher after starting pitcher Detrick Ence in the top of the seventh inning, who led by 10 points at 11-1, but failed to catch an out count and allowed two hits, one walk and three runs. He got a hit by Park Sung-han, the first batter, and Lee Ji-young doubled and allowed one run. He then gave up a walk to Park Ji-hwan and was replaced by Choi Dong-hwan. Later, Choi Dong-hwan also hit a grand slam by Eredia, and all the runners sent by Lim Joon-hyung scored, making Lim Joon-hyung's runs three points.

It was sluggish, but there was a positive part. It was an arrest. Coach Yeom said "But the maximum speed was 147km. He expressed expectations, saying, "He's the fastest among our left-handed bullpen pitchers."
Ham Deok-ju, who played an active role as a left-handed bullpen pitcher last year, will not be able to return until mid-August. Until then, you have to hold on with them. Still, the fact that there are two left-handed pitchers will help him cope with the opponent's left-handed batter in the future.
