The LG Twins aim to recapture the championship in 2025. And the key is hitting. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop has always emphasized that `We are the team of hitting.' That hitting should lead the team rather than the mound. This season, Ham Deok-ju and Yoo Young-chan can only come out later in the season due to surgery, so the key is how to hold out the bullpen until the middle of the season.
Last year's batting fell more than expected because it was heavily dependent on key players. In the end, this was because the backup agents had a large difference in skills from the main players. As the backup did not fill the vacancy of the main players, they had no choice but to continue to use the main players for victory, and as a result, the performance of the main players fell due to the poor physical strength of the main players.
In order for LG's batting to live this season, backups must support the main players with good batting. To that end, Yeom drew attention with his batting-oriented schedule during last year's closing training. Usually, finishing training often fills the gaps of each player. After doing basic training together, we improve our skills by doing what we lack. However, Yeom allotted seven hours of batting training a day and set up a schedule to focus only on hitting. Because the overall hit was weak. 2 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon, 2 hours at night. The goal was to find his batting form through a lot of swings. Coach Yeom was watching from a distance, and the moment his swing form collapsed, he chased him and showed his form.
The players who participated in the Ulsan Autumn League had a short period of time, but five players, including Kim Beom-seok, Koo Bon-hyuk, Lee Young-bin, Kim Dae-won, and Choi Seung-min, played from the beginning to the end of the final training session. It is a one-day break for four days of training and 25 days of training. He swung the bat for 7 hours a day, a total of 175 hours, and said he swings about 1,000 times a day, so it can be said that he swung 25,000 times. Kim Hyun-jong also expressed the daily life of the difficult finishing training, saying, `When I close my eyes that I used to watch in the movie and open it, it becomes real in the morning.' Kim Bum-seok also gained the side effect of finishing training, which reduced as much as 10kg in less than a month with diet control and training alone.
If LG's backup players show the fruits of last year's hard finishing training this year, they can create a more solid lineup. Main players can have more time to rest, and backup players have more chances to play. For veteran players, a natural generational change can begin. It is important how long you can continue your batting condition to the Arizona spring camp, Okinawa practice games, and exhibition games. His performance and growth are two rabbits that are hard to catch at once, but LG plans to catch them this year.
