When you think of manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's LG Twins, aggressive baseball comes to mind. In particular, stolen bases cannot be left out. The runner on first base runs to second base. Rather, there are times when running too much seems to break the flow of attacks.

He attempted 267 stolen bases, the most in 2023, making 166 stolen bases, but had the lowest success rate of 62.2%.

Last year, it tried to increase the success rate, but it did not meet expectations. Last year, he also stole 250 times, the most, and made 171, his second. The steal success rate was 68.4%, better than in 2023, but it was ninth overall, below the overall average of 74.4%.




LG's running coach Jung Soo-sung is mobilizing various equipment to enhance the players' running ability in the Arizona camp.

Coach Chung said, `It's hard to remember all the players' data. So if you train using these equipment, you will have a reference point while recording the players' data, and you can check the top players with the fastest steal timeIt seems that the training effect is getting better because the players also train while looking at the data. The current steal start is Park Hae-min, Choi Won-young, and Song Chan's Shin Min-jae have a fast record of the top."

The yellow speed sensor is a device that checks players' speed. Coach Chung said "The most important thing is from the first start to three to five steals. Since it is a point section where you can succeed in stealing, you can set the standard for which player is the fastest"Speed sensors are used in many sports, so I wanted to bring them this time and check the players, but after using them, I think they are more efficient than I thought", he said with satisfaction.




A time checker, a black stopwatch next to the speed sensor, allowed players to immediately view their records in real time. The efficiency of training is high because players can see their records themselves.

Coach Chung even brought a drone so that he could take a video of the players running from above and watch it. Coach Jung said "I can comment on the movement while taking enough left and right videos, but I can't easily see the video taken from above. I'm using drone video to see the start, base running, and turning from above, and I'm using it while talking in detail."

Ottogi has also been set up to practice so that he can run away from defenders when running the base. "When you turn on the base, if you put it next to the base, you can train and recognize the part that the players are careful not to bump into each other."




How much more successful will LG's stolen bases increase this season thanks to coach Chung's efforts.
