Choi Chae-heung, a left-hander wearing an LG Twins uniform as Choi Won-tae's 'reward player', began to wake up to the full-scale control. Choi Chae-heung took the mound in practice for the first time since his transfer to KT Wiz at Kinosa Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 2nd.
Choi Chae-heung took the mound in the top of the third inning following starter Elijah Hernandez. Lightly finished with three batters. Fly to left field for No. 8. Kim Sang-soo hit a fly to center field and Kang Baek-ho hit a ground ball in front of second base, recording a full withdrawal.
Choi Chae-heung, who threw a total of 10 balls, had a maximum speed of 138 kilometers. I threw four fastballs, four sliders, one changeup, and one curve.
Choi Chae-heung was a little nervous because it was his first appearance. It took a lot of strength, he said. "But I think I'm in good condition."
The fastball speed was less than 140km, but there was no sign of panic or anxiety on his face. "There are not many restrictions, but I don't feel discouraged."Choi Chae-heung was about 134 kilometers last year. It's going better than last year. I think the breaking ball is almost done, and I think I just need to get more fastball power" showed a hopeful posture.
He didn't even try to raise the restraint significantly. Choi Chae-heung said "In the early 140km range, I think you can throw that consistently."It seems that throwing a powerful ball is a priority rather than a restraint. I'm confident in my control. If you throw a powerful ball on a course that batters find difficult, I think it will have a better effect than a fast ball. Rather than being greedy for speed, I'm focusing on more accurate and slow control"

"There is always something Chan-gyu-hyung (Im) always says to me: "If you come out 1, 2km, 3, 4km less, you have to throw your best even if you come out less." Choi Chae-heung said, `Even if the ball doesn't get as fast as I thought, I should pay attention to the speed control in that state so that I can throw well.' `I tried to throw the breaking ball more accurately because the fastball didn't go as far as I thought today.'
Choi Chae-heung also started throwing slow curves, one of Lim Chan-kyu's main menus. Lim Chan-kyu throws a 90-kilometer curve on a fastball in the early 140-kilometer range to take away the timing of the batter by making the speed difference by 50 kilometers. Choi Chae-heung said "Today's curve was the slowest I've ever thrown." Choi Chae-heung's curve ball speed was 105km.
Choi Chae-heung said "Chan Kyu-hyung helps too much. Because it was what Chan-gyu-hyung had experienced, he talked very well. "I think it's good to have such a good teacher. "
Lim Chan-kyu said "Not only Choi Chae-heung, but it seems right for pitchers to find their own way to live. Kim Young-woo should throw in the style of Kim Young-woo, Ko Woo-seok should throw in the style of Ko Woo-seok, and Choi Chae-heung should throw in the style of Choi Chae-heung. I think that's why self-reflection is important"I think it's important what kind of style I am and how I should get the other type. " Choi Chae-heung, who is not fast-paced, also hoped to create his own style.
Choi Chae-heung, who has made a fresh start at LG, has a good start. 'Left hand Lim Chan-gyu' took the first step.
