[Okinawa (Japan) = Reporter Kwon In-ha of Sports Chosun] Pitchers check their ball by watching the speed on the electronic display.
If the fastball has its usual speed, it sprinkles the ball with confidence, but if the speed is low, it may change to a breaking ball rather than a fastball.
LG Twins' Lim Chan-kyu had a little embarrassing experience in a practice game against the Samsung Lions at Akama Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 1st. He allowed one hit, one walk, and one strikeout in two innings. He pitched 28 times, but his speed on the electronic display was a bit embarrassing. The ball taken when striking out Diaz in the first inning was 135km. When I asked Lim Chan-kyu what kind of pitch he was, he said "I threw a fastball". Has the fastball speed not yet come up yet.
No. Lim Chan-kyu said "I heard that the speed limit here is 4-5 kilometers less than the actual speed limit. When I went into the dugout, I heard that it came up to 142km. The restraint seems to be fine."
Lim Chan-kyu said he knew that the speed of the electronic display was wrong while throwing. The speed of the curve was 82 kilometers. Lim Chan-gyu said, `When I saw 82km on the electronic display board, I felt that the electronic display was not coming out well.' `I haven't been able to go down to 82km. About 89 and 91 kilometers were the lowest restrictions. So I threw it with solace." Lim Chan-kyu's lowest curve ball speed taken by LG on the day was 95km. There was a difference of more than 10km from the speed shown on the electronic display.
Lim Chan-kyu said "The first inning was a little unstable because it was the first game in a long time. It was difficult because it was different from the Korean mound, but it was relatively good because I caught it well"It's been added as usual. I did the same as I did in the season because I have to throw the same to get feedback. The ball tended to fall to the right, but I think I finished it with a little good correction.

Lim Chan-kyu, who recorded 10 wins last year following 14 wins in 2023, has firmly established himself as a domestic ace as he has been strong in big games with three wins in three postseason games, including semi-playoffs and playoffs, and a 1.08 ERA.
LG is trying to regain the championship title this season. To do so, Lim Chan-kyu needs a double-digit victory for three consecutive years.
Even with a fastball in the early 140km range, he is cooking hitters in the KBO League with three pitches that show a difference in speed: a changeup in the 120km range from the same place and a slow curve in the 90-100km range. Sometimes I throw sliders, but it's not a surefire weapon. Still, he tries to test constantly and use it as a weapon.
Sliders will continue to be tested in practice and exhibition games. He threw two on the same day as well. Lim Chan-kyu threw to Min-ho " (Kang) and tried to throw it lower, but it was shaped as a strike zone." Fortunately, he was hit by the end of the bat and became a hit (middle fielder fly). I think the movement of the ball itself was good. (Park) Dong-won said he liked it, and I asked Min-ho about it, and he said it was good.'"Sliders are investing for a long time, but it's very difficult. So I wish I could add more That's it. I hope my slider gets a little better to get better at typing. There's no situation to try if it's not now. I think I'll have to increase the frequency more in the next game," he said, "I'll keep trying."
