Only the winner. Only a pitcher. More than half of the first-team camp and registered players also have pitchers.

The weakness of the LG Twins, who aim to recapture the championship, is the mound, especially the bullpen. Last year, he also finished third due to the weakening of the bullpen, and he has to start the season with a weak bullpen this season as well.
FA Jang Hyun-sik and Kim Kang-ryul were recruited, and veteran Shim Chang-min and FA Choi Won-tae's compensation player Choi Chae-heung were brought in, but closer Yoo Young-chan, who made 25 saves last year, was missing due to a microfracture of his elbow, and left-handed setup man Ham Deok-joo was also out due to surgery, making it difficult to form a must-win group. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop selected Jang Hyun-sik as the closing pitcher, and plans to build a framework for the must-win group with veterans such as Kim Kang-ryul and Kim Jin-sung and build a bullpen with Jung Woo-young, Baek Seung-hyun, Park Myung-geun, Lee Woo-chan, Kim Yoo-young, and Shim Chang-min. In addition, among the pitchers competing for the fifth starting pitcher, players who are eliminated will also join the bullpen to reinforce them.
I could see in the spring camp that I paid that much attention to the pitcher. A total of 42 players participated in the first-team Arizona camp, of which 23 were more than half of the pitchers. In addition to the existing pitchers, newly recruited members, and rookie pitchers, they have to take a large number of people and see them in person to find a bullpen to use in the first team.
Data has been released to feel LG's pitcher all-in once again. It's a registered player. KBO announced the list of KBO League players on the 11th. Ten clubs registered a total of 597 players. Samsung registered the most players with 62, KIA, LG and Kiwoom registered 61, KT and Lotte registered 60, SSG and NC registered 59, and Doosan and Hanwha registered the fewest 57 players.
By position, there were 299 pitchers, accounting for about half of their players, with LG having the largest number of 33 among the 10 clubs. Of the 61, 33 are pitchers, 54 percent are pitchers. LG, which registered only 54 people last year, added seven to 61 this time. The number of pitchers increased by five from 28 last year to 33. It can be said that he has increased the number of pitchers that much more. The number of catchers remained the same as five, and the number of infielders decreased from 13 to 11, while the number of outfielders increased from eight to 12.
Four starters, Yonny Chirinos, Eliaser Hernandez and Lim Chan-kyu, Son Joo-young, are said to be definitely stable. The batting lineup also ranked third in batting average and second in scoring last year. However, Pil Seung-jo was actually only set-up man Kim Jin-sung and closing Yoo Young-chan, and as he tried to prevent the 7, 8, and 9th innings with two, even if he managed it, it was physically difficult for both Yoo Young-chan and Kim Jin-sung.
First of all, it is a situation that can be pushed to the sheep this season. Then, if a player who shows good performance comes out, a must-win group can be formed.
