“Kim Do-young’s leadoff, honestly, it’s a waste”

Coach, I will go to the first team on Friday (26th).”

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop mentioned relief pitcher Jung Woo-young ahead of the second game of a three-game series against the Samsung Lions in the '2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 24th.

Immediately after the end of last season, Jung Woo-young underwent surgery to remove bone fragments from his right elbow. Afterwards, he underwent a rehabilitation period in the Futures League, and is close to returning to the first team for the first time this season. Before the opening, Jung Woo-young was given a ‘call-up option’ by Coach Yeom. After getting into a satisfactory physical condition, I contacted Coach Yeom directly after receiving reports from Futures League Manager Seo Yong-bin and Futures League Pitching Coach Kyung Hyun-ho.

Director Yeom said, "Jung Woo-young texted me saying, 'Director, I'll be there on Friday' because I wasn't answering the phone. So I replied, 'Yes, are you ready?' He said that receiving reports has improved. “You have to see that you are ready. You have to keep your promise,” he said.

Currently, LG's bullpen is going through a difficult time with several injuries. Kim Jin-seong was called up ahead of today's game, but there are many players left to return, including Baek Seung-hyun, Lee Ji-gang, Choi Dong-hwan, and Ham Deok-ju. LG is keenly feeling the absence of those who should be at the center.

The good news is that the injured players, starting with Jung Woo-young, are gradually returning. Director Yeom said, “(Baek) Seung-hyeon will arrive around Sunday (28th). Ji-gang will probably start in early May... around May 10th according to the schedule we planned during the camp. (Ha) Deok-ju will arrive in June. He expressed his regret by saying, “I feel the absence of Deok-ju. He came on as the starting pitcher last year and had four disappointing games this year, so even if we only got two wins there, it would be a huge difference.”

Currently, LG is playing a three-game series against Samsung during the week. Jung Woo-young is scheduled to be called up ahead of the three-game series against the KIA Tigers on the weekend, which will be held at Jamsil Stadium, the home stadium. LG lost 0-6 against Samsung on the 24th. They suffered two consecutive losses and recorded a season record of 13 wins, 2 draws, and 13 losses. They are ranked 6th in the league. A figure unbecoming of a ‘defending champion.’

According to the baseball statistics site 'Statistics', the bullpen ranks 6th out of 10 teams with a team ERA of 4.51. In contrast to last year, when the bullpen ranked first in ERA (3.40). Because the overall team is shaking, Manager Yeom is considering various ways to strengthen the bullpen. Depending on the results of Kim Yun-sik, who is scheduled to start on the 26th, they are also planning to use starter Lim Chan-gyu as a bullpen pitcher.
