LG won 5-0 in a practice game against the Samsung Lions at Akama Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 1st. After winning 3-1 in the first practice game against the KIA Tigers on February 27, he won two consecutive games.
It is encouraging that the mound is doing so well. He allowed only one run in two games and 18 innings. In the match against KIA, starter Yoni Chirinos allowed no hits and no runs in two innings, then blocked the KIA lineup by throwing one inning each with Jung Woo-young (1 inning, 1 walk, 1 score) and Lee Woo Woo-chan (1 inning, 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 run), Shim Chang-min (1 inning, 2 walks, 1 strikeout, 1 score), Sung Dong-hyun (1 inning, no hit, 1 walk, no run), Park Myung-geun (1 inning, no hit, 1 strikeout, and no run) and Kim Young-woo (1 inning, no hit, no run). KIA had only two hits on the day. It was Park Jung-woo's hit to the left in the bottom of the fourth inning and Han Seung-taek's timely hit.
LG's mound against Samsung continued. Starter Lim Chan-kyu allowed one hit, one walk, and one strikeout in two innings, followed by Song Seung-ki (one hit and no run in one inning), Lee Ji-gang (one hit and one strikeout in one inning), Lee Woo-chan (one hit and two strikeouts in one inning), Son Joo-young (two hits, two walks and one strikeout in two innings), Kim Dae-hyun (one hit and one strikeout in one inning) and Heo Jun-hyuk (one hit and three strikeouts in one inning) overwhelmed Samsung's batters.
Samsung has only two hits. The top hitter Kim Ji-chan also hit it alone. He had a hit in the middle of the first inning and a double to left in the third inning.
In two games against last year's championship KIA Tigers and the runner-up Samsung Lions, LG gave up just four hits and allowed only one run in 18 innings.
No matter how good the practice game is, it is definitely encouraging for pitchers to show such good performance. This means that he built his body well in the offseason and brought about as much technical improvement as he aimed in Arizona's first-team camp.

Yeom said, `First, mentally, it was aggressive pitching, and second, technically, it was improvement of ball control. Coach Kim Kwang-sam and coach Jinyong Jang made ways to improve their ball control and trained them a lot, but most of the pitchers showed a lot of improvement in their ball control although it was two games."
Then "Thirdly, it was to make an individual crystal ball. He said he wanted to make a crystal ball that suits him among change-ups or folk balls with off-speed, but those parts are also showing good performances in the game. They also seem to have confidence while experiencing success.
Yeom said, `The things we practiced are being carried out through practice games. We have to wait until the exhibition game, but I think it's going well."
The pitchers' good pitching was supported by the defenders' good defense. Yeom said, `Most importantly, I prepared a more structured defense from the camp"It is positive that the start and movement are improving overall, regardless of infielders and infielders through practice games, and that they are showing structured appearances."
