Now, not Yang Eui-ji's reward player, but the growth of a promising pitcher will produce results.

NC Dinos' first spring camp in Arizona, USA, is nearing the end. The NC team has been carrying out a set training schedule without any major injuries so far.

Coach Lee Ho-joon said, `There were no injured players this time, too"I played the first live pitching and batting without any problems. With intensive training and rest, I checked the part where the players' physical condition was coming up as planned. Rather than overstretching for the Taiwan practice game, he is improving his physical condition in time for the season. He is adjusting the training intensity as if he is finishing the Tucson camp. As the season approaches, I'm getting more nervous, but I'll prepare according to our plan without getting impatient"We evaluated the training performance so far.

Ryu Jin-wook, Jeon Lu-gun, Jeon Sa-min and Kim Min-kyu were selected as pitchers with good pace by NC batters through live BP.

In particular, Jeon Lu-gun's pace is particularly good in this camp. Batters responded to the gun by saying, `It was difficult to get the timing right because the fastball and breaking ball were constant and the quick motion was fast", "I thought it was tricky throughout the live pitching because the fastball went up fast.", "The power of the fastball and the angle of change were good."We agreed.

Jeon Lu-gun, a right-hander born in 2000, was named Jeon Chang-min, a former prospect for the Doosan Bears. When Yang Eui-ji returned to his former team Doosan as a second FA, Jeon Lugun was the compensation player designated by NC.

He also showed remarkable growth in the Futures League last year. From the average fastball speed of 141 kilometers and the maximum speed of 147 kilometers in 2023, the average speed of last year was 146 kilometers, growing nearly 5 kilometers and the maximum speed of 149 kilometers. As the pitching form was established and the body management was efficient, confidence was gained on its own.

There were not many first-team call-ups. He pitched five innings in six games in the first team last year. But this year, he proudly made the list of first-team camps and is actually producing good results.

"He has many advantages," bullpen coach Son Jung-wook said. The type that can face batters with fastballs on the mound," he said. "He has fastballs and good sliders, and he keeps improving as he practices new pitches." The biggest advantage is that he is a pitcher who can take responsibility for one inning with his pitches and speed. There could be a new type of weapon in our team's bullpen,' he said, praising Jeon's performance.

Jeon Lugun "I'm practicing change-ups these days. I have good feedback in data figures and bullpen pitching, so I'm training with a positive mind. In addition to the changeup, he throws it with a sense of purpose such as release point when pitching"My personal goal in this camp was to take a certain release point from the mound, but I think it's going to pay off," he said, expressing satisfaction.
