I had high expectations since I picked him. The LG Twins trained Kim Young-woo in the first round, who took a maximum of 156 kilometers, and Yoo Hyun-hyun in the second round, who threw 151 kilometers without learning the pitcher properly, in the first team from the closing camp and took the spring camp to Arizona, the first team.

Those who learned systematic training and weight training methods in the closing camp continued training at Jamsil Stadium in the offseason. Jamsil also had key first-team players who had not met in the closing camp, so I was able to train while learning again. Those who have trained so diligently are increasing their chances in Arizona camps.

LG did not measure the data when pitching its first bullpen to pitchers in this camp. Since it was his first pitching, he might overdo it for good speed, so he didn't measure it on purpose to prevent injury, but only paid attention to balance and threw it.




However, the data was not measured until the third bullpen pitching for rookies Kim Young-woo and Yoo Hyun-hyun. As a rookie, he doesn't have his own know-how on how to pull himself up and prepare for the season, and he will want to show the coaching staff, so there is a high possibility that if he measures the restraint, it will be strong, so he deliberately extended the period. For them, the first thing is not to over-face rather than speed. This is because it is important to finish the camp without injury.

And it was only the fourth bullpen pitching that I measured the data for the first time. Kim Young-woo was able to find out about his arrest on the 9th (hereinafter in Korean time) and the 10th of the trend. It was about 70-80% of bullpen pitching, but the ball speed was better than expected. Kim Young-woo shot a maximum of 151.1km and an average of 148.2km. Kyunghyang County recorded a maximum of 148.1km and an average of 145.2km.

Kim Young-woo also "I think it's coming up at a faster pace."I think I've been training with conditioning coaches from the end camp to the offseason, and I think I'm well-built."He was satisfied with it, and Yoo Hyun-hyun said, "When I measure the data from the beginning, I'm following the coach's schedule because I'm afraid I'll throw it over-speed to see well."




LG currently needs a bullpen pitcher. Closer Yoo Young-chan has a gap until the middle of the season due to microfractures in his elbow, so Jang Hyun-sik has to finish, and he has to set up a must-win group with veterans such as Kim Kang-ryul and Kim Jin-sung. If there is a pitcher who can hit with a fast ball over 150km, it can be of great help. If Kim Young-woo and Yoo Hyun-hyun grow up through Okinawa practice and exhibition games, throwing in the first team may not be a dream.

Most of the competition for the Rookie of the Year is in the top ranks, such as Chung Hyun-woo (Kium) or Chung Woo-joo (Hanwha) and Bae Chan-seung (Samsung), but Kim Young-woo and Yoo Hyun-hyun also have opportunities. You have to open the lid.
