The bullpen, which the LG Twins have been agonizing over all season, will be strengthened. Pilseungjo Ham Deok-ju and Park Myung-geun will return.
LG excluded side-arm Jung Ji-hun and left-handed Lim Joon-hyung from the first-team entry on the 12th.
And prior to the match against Daejeon Hanwha Eagles on the 13th, left-handed Ham Deok-ju and sidearm Park Myung-geun will be registered.
Ham Deok-ju and Park Myung-geun have already joined the first team on the 11th and learned the atmosphere by training with their colleagues.
The most welcome person is Ham Deok-ju. He was the only left-handed must-win team that played a big role in winning last year's championship. Ham Deok-joo, who was compared to Yang Seok-hwan in a trade every year, did not play his role for two years due to injury, but returned healthy last year and showed an iron wall. He recorded a 1.62 ERA with 4 wins, 4 saves and 16 holds in 57 games. As the only left-handed setup man, he blocked important moments well and played a finishing role when Ko Woo-seok was injured.
He has been out since August due to an elbow injury, but returned to the Korean Series and played a part in the championship with one win and a 2.70 ERA in four games.
After finishing the series, he exercised his first FA qualification and signed a four-year contract with LG for a total of 3.8 billion won, spending a fruitful 2023.
However, in the new year and on January 16, he underwent pin fixing surgery due to a microfracture of the left elbow parietal bone. He was expected to be able to return around June or July, but his return was delayed due to no bones attached. Still, I came back to the team when I needed to not be late.

However, a fan-shaped anterior muscle damage spanning the shoulder and ribs was found, and it was found that recovery alone required more than three weeks. However, the recovery was slower than expected, and he returned more than two months after being left out of the first team.
Ham Deok-ju and Park Myung-geun came to the first team after pitching one practice game and two Futures League games side by side. Ham Deok-joo pitched two ⅔ in two games in the Futures League, allowing one hit and six strikeouts, and Park Myung-geun also pitched two innings in two games, allowing three hits and one strikeout and one run.
LG had several players in the must-win group, but it had a lot of ups and downs. Veteran Kim Jin-sung was the only one who showed consistency. Now Ham Deok-ju and Park Myung-geun have come, allowing more abundant must-win groups to be put in. Depending on the opponent's lineup, various pitchers will be available, and Yoo Young-chan's multi-inning pitching is expected to be reduced.
