Yoo Hyun-hyun, who was chosen by the LG Twins in the second round of the 2025 Rookie Draft, is the main character. He was named the 10th in the second round as LG's first player in the match, and he received a down payment of 150 million won, more than his peers in the second round, which was ahead of him.
The final camp began on the 23rd of October, and even though he is a rookie, Yoo Hyun-hyun came to Icheon, where the first-team camp is held. Kim Young-woo (Round 1), Park Si-won (Round 6), and Kim Jong-woon (Round 7) are in training with senior players in the first division. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop is watching them from the closing camp to nurture fast-paced rookie pitchers.
Yoo's main position is third baseman. He hit 295 with 23 hits, two homers, 13 RBIs and 20 steals in 24 games this year. The pitcher did it to help the team. When I was in middle school, I was both a pitcher and an infielder, but when I was in high school, I only saw infielders. Then, he started throwing as a pitcher again at the end of the second year. This year, he pitched nine innings in eight games, with one win and one loss with a 4.00 ERA and eight strikeouts.
"I will be trained as a pitcher for the first time in the closing camp," said Shin. be in basic skill training`' said a rather shocking remark. "I've never been properly trained as a pitcher," said Shin. "When I started pitching, the ball was fast, so I started because he told me to throw it from the mound with the intention of throwing it. "I threw a bullpen the day before the game and then went back to the fielding group to train as a fielder. "
However, the pitches he throws are diverse, including sliders, curves, and changeups on fastballs. How did you learn the game. "I did learn from my coach when pitching in the bullpen the day before the game." I haven't learned it properly, but at this level, I think I can become a better pitcher if I build up my basic skills.
However, Yoo Hyun-hyun has yet to erase his dream of becoming a beast in his mind. "I do batting training alone during break time after training" "When kids (new classmates) go to sauna, they hit." It's not something to say because it's done during breaks, but it shows that he has a great affection for others. He seemed to have a strong will to know if his batting worked in the professional league.
He has potential as a pitcher, but the player himself has a passion for batters. Like Kiwoom Heroes' Kim Gun-hee, we can test the possibility of second-flow.
