Ryu Yang-Kim is a talent, but the ace of the left hand at 152km is only 140km of bullpen pitching. I'll pull it up slowly.

Son Joo-young left for the U.S. early on January 15 as a starter. He pitched 144 ⅔ innings in 28 games (27 starts) while playing full-time for the first time last year, recording 9 wins, 10 losses and an ERA of 3.79. Son Joo-young, who showed off her strong performance in the big game by playing a scoreless game in the 3rd and 5th semi-playoffs, voluntarily left the mound as she felt something wrong with her elbow while throwing the ball in Game 4 of the playoffs against Samsung due to the physical burden of the first full-time season. Thanks to the stop of pitching before developing into a major injury, he was able to recover to rest and then start training.
This season, when we have to prove that last year's good performance was not a coincidence. In a recent YouTube broadcast featuring Yoon Seok-min (retired) Hanwha Ryu Hyun-jin and SSG Kim Kwang-hyun, Son Joo-young said, `I think we need to work hard on the fact that there were no left-handed pitchers who will succeed the three national teams"I think I should make an overwhelming score and imprint my name on my seniors," he said, adding that he was determined. "I want to throw more than 160 innings and win 15 games in 28 to 30 games as a starter."He also confidently revealed his goals for this season.
Son Joo-young, who threw 35 pitches with his first bullpen pitching on the 2nd (Korea time), threw his second bullpen pitching on the 7th. On this day, you could set up a data meter and analyze each type of pitch. I threw a total of 50 pitches, but I tested them by spraying all four pitches I threw: 31 fastballs, 10 curves, 5 fork balls, and 4 sliders. The maximum speed of the fastball was 140 kilometers. Considering that Son Joo-young is spraying a fastball of about 152km, the fastball speed has not yet been raised.
Son Joo-young also said "Increasing the number of pitches, he threw it with increased intensity to about 80%" " and "It's not as fast as I thought yet. I'm going to try to pull it up slowly for the rest of the camp."
It's Son Joo-young who has a lot of time. Arizona, who came in the competition for selection, and Arizona, who came as a starter, have different mindsets. Even though the speed is lower than I thought, I'll raise it slowly rather than panicking" has an eye for a long season.
