[Okinawa (Japan) = Reporter Heo Sang-wook of Sports Chosun] Lim Chan-kyu, Song Seung-ki and Son Joo-young, who will be in charge of the LG Twins' starters this season, took the mound and learned their sense of practice.

In a practice game between LG and Samsung held at Onnason Akama Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 1st, Lim Chan-kyu took the mound as the first starter among the three pitchers.

Starter Lim Chan-kyu faced seven batters in two innings and allowed one hit and one walk. He blocked Samsung's batters by checking 28 pitches, fastballs (13), curves (8), changeups (5), and sliders (2).




Song Seung-ki, who was confirmed as the fifth starter, also took the mound following Lim Chan-kyu. Song Seung-ki struck out leadoff hitter Soo Soo-ho in the third inning and blocked Shim Jae-hoon with a ground ball to second base, then gave up a double to Kim Ji-chan, but stopped Kim Heon-gon with a fly to center field to finish the first inning. He pitched 11 pitches. He used fastballs (five), sliders (four) and curves (two) with a maximum speed of 145 kilometers.

Son Joo-young, another starting resource, took the mound in the sixth inning and gave up one walk, but blocked three batters without a crisis.
