In the LG Twins' first practice game, the first starting ace will be selected, and the first-round rookie will finish.

LG's ace Yoni Chirinos will start in the first practice game against the KIA Tigers at Okinawa Keen Stadium in Japan on the 27th, and first-round rookie Kim Young-woo is scheduled to take the mound as the closing pitcher in the bottom of the ninth inning.

LG's starting lineup was composed of Hong Chang-ki (designated hitter), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Moon Jung-bin (right fielder), and Lee Young-bin (second baseman). Shin Min-jae and Moon Sung-joo were out of the starting lineup, and right-handed prospect Moon Jung-bin and infield backup Lee Young-bin got the opportunity.




LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop asked the main players to manage their conditions and adjust to the opening game from the practice game. `Young players don't know how to control their condition yet, so we have to help them, but the player who has been playing for a long time knows his physical condition and condition well, so he should be able to raise his condition in time for the openingdirector Yeom's theory that "

The starting pitcher on the day is Yoni Chirinos, a new foreign pitcher. He is a new starter who gave up renewing his contract with Detrick Ens, the left-handed first starter who won 13 games last year.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop highly values Chirinos' chances of success. Manager Yeom said, `Most pitchers who throw pitches do not throw four-seam well, but Chirinos knows how to throw four-seam. to be able to throw a high fastball"Most American pitchers throw changeups, but Chirinos has a forkball splitter." It is different from Ence, who had a hard time last year because there was no crystal ball. And he also has control over Chirinos." In the meantime, "As ABS' strike zone is lowered this year, pitchers in the two-seam team are expected to benefit a little." Expectations are high because of the diversity of chirinos."




Regarding Chirinos in his first appearance, Yeom said, `It's a body-building process, and it will be a time to check how KBO hitters react to the ball games they have.'

As for the pitchers who will take the mound after Chirinos, when asked whether Kim Young-woo will take the mound, he replied, `He will come out as the last pitcher.' They agreed to play the game by the end of the ninth inning even if KIA is leading the game. Kim Young-woo is scheduled to take the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning.
