[Okinawa (Japan) = Reporter Kwon In-ha of Sports Chosun]"If you lead again today, Kim Young-woo will go out as the last one."

The LG Twins will wait for Kim Young-woo, the 'Camp Hit Product', to finish again in a practice game against the Samsung Lions on the 1st.

LG prepared for the mound with 'Start Day' in a practice game against Samsung at Akama Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 1st.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Today's starting pitchers are going out.' Lim Chan-kyu throws two innings as a starter, followed by Song Seung-ki. And after the cleaning time in the fifth inning, Son Joo-young plans to prepare like a starter and take the mound in the sixth inning." LG pitched two innings against the KIA Tigers on the 27th, when new foreign pitcher Chirinos was the first practice game. Another foreign pitcher, Eliaser Hernandez, is scheduled to start against KT Wiz on the 2nd. Coach Yeom went on to say, `If you are leading, Kim Young-woo will go to the end again.'

With closer Jang Hyun-sik out due to an ankle injury and it is still unclear whether he will take the mound in the opening game, coach Yeom is testing Kim Young-woo, a rookie in the first round, as a temporary closing candidate in a practice game. Kim Young-woo took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning against KIA on the 27th and finished the hitter with three outs and a practice game, but made a save in his first professional team appearance. At that time, he threw nine, but he shot a maximum speed of 154km, raising expectations.

Coach Yeom viewed Kim Young-woo's chances of success in the first team this season as the installation of a folk ball. Coach Yeom said, `Kim Young-woo is learning folk ball from coach Kim Kwang-sam. It is important whether a folk ball can be installed and used during the season through practice and exhibition games. Once equipped with a fork ball, you can go to the core from the start. You can finish it, you can go into the winning group."

Meanwhile, Moon Sung-joo was excluded from the starting lineup on the day. Moon Sung-joo, who originally decided not to defend in Okinawa practice games, decided to give him a break after coming to Okinawa due to clumping in his waist. Coach Yeom said, `I came to Okinawa and trained, but now I have reduced the amount of training because my back is not good. I don't think I'll play in Okinawa, but I think I'll play in an exhibition game"Moon Sung-joo is a player who can improve his condition with just two to three games. I didn't worry too much as I just needed to be healthy.
