LG, which has a lot of bullpen concerns, announced its transfer of pitching coaches ahead of the KT Wiz match in Jamsil on the 29th.
Choi Sang-deok, the first-team pitching coach, went down to the remaining pitching coach, and Kim Kwang-sam, the first-team bullpen coach, moved to the main pitching coach. Jinyong Jang Futures pitching coach has come up as a first-team bullpen coach.
On July 16, LG sent pitcher coach Kim Kyung-tae, whose health deteriorated due to stress, to the Futures coach, putting coach Choi Sang-deok in the first team.
After about 40 days, I changed the pitching coach again.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop briefly explained that "to renew the atmosphere.'
LG has been struggling with its bullpen this season. Yoo Young-chan is making up for the finish that Ko Woo-seok left, but the clear must-win group was not properly equipped even at the end of the season. It was no exaggeration to say that it was almost made up of one Kim Jin-sung. Ham Deok-ju, who underwent surgery earlier this year, returned, but he is still unable to throw in the necessary situation due to the difficulty of continuous pitching, and Baek Seung-hyun and Park Myung-geun and Lee Ji-gang, who showed good performances last year, are showing ups and downs, making it difficult to put them on the mound in important situations.
Coach Kim Kyung-tae was in charge of Choi Sang-deok after going down for health reasons, but it was difficult to manage the bullpen at a time when he was in charge of the second division and it was not clear about the first-team pitchers. Eventually, bullpen coach Kim Kwang-sam, who has been with pitchers, set up the bullpen as the main coach.
Meanwhile, LG's first starter, Eliaser Hernandez, will be on standby for the bullpen. Coach Yeom said "You will play the role of Kim Jin-sung." Hernandez and Ham Deok-ju will be on standby as must-win groups.
Manager Yeom said, "Hernandez can play multiple innings depending on the situationHernandez will wait for the bullpen for two days, but if he takes the mound today and the number of pitches increases, he will not take the mound tomorrow." And Ham Deok-ju will also wait for the bullpen for the first two days in a row this season. I'm going to try my best. Manager Yeom said, `We will play consecutive games today and tomorrow and prepare again in the bullpen after three days of rest.'
On the same day, LG's starting lineup consisted of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Park Dong-won (catcher), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Lee Young-bin (first baseman).
Coach Yeom once said he would use Kim Bum-seok, who was in the first division, as a first baseman. However, Lee Young-bin, not Kim Beom-seok, participated as first baseman. Coach Yeom said "The hitting coach strongly recommended Lee Young-bin. I accepted the coach's opinion"I explained the reason.
