After the return of Lee Jung-yong, "Cheongunmanma," who is capable of both starting and bullpen, the position is expected to be a starter for now.카지노사이트

Lee Jung-yong is put in to arrange the physical strength of the LG Twins' important starters.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop naturally spoke about Lee Jung-yong's post after his discharge while revealing the physical management of first starter Yoni Chirinos.

"If Chirinos is absent, our team will be in a critical condition. We will continue to manage the team," Yeom said. "Since he has had surgery in the U.S. and has rarely pitched 150 innings, it is difficult to throw a full ball in Korea."

The season in which Chirinos played the most innings in the U.S. was 2017, when he pitched 141 innings for Triple-A and 27 ⅓ for Double-A, a total of 168 ⅓. It was the only time when he pitched more than 150 innings.

Last year, he pitched 30 innings in the Major League and 110 ⅔ in Triple-A, a total of 140 ⅔ innings.

"I will manage the number of pitches as well as the number of innings, and I'm going to cut the number of innings in six innings instead of throwing seven. I'm going to manage them more carefully than other pitchers," Yeom said.

There is also a plan to take a break from the entry. That's mid-June when Lee Jung-yong returns from Sangmu. Coach Yeom said, "We plan to keep the rotation until June and give it a break by removing it from the entry once Jung-yong returns."

Lee Jung-yong is currently playing as a starting pitcher for Sangmu. He is scheduled to be discharged from the military on June 17. He mostly threw mid-field pitches at LG. He threw for the first time in the first time in the team, recording four holds in 2020, 15 holds in 2021, and 22 holds (one save) in 2022. He has recorded 10 wins, seven losses and one save and 41 holds in a total of 165 matches over the past three years. He has never played as a starter.
He started as an intermediate pitcher again in 2023. When Ko was not able to play due to an injury, he started as a temporary relief pitcher, but he had a bad start. Then, in late May, he lost weight for about a month due to shoulder pain. Then, a reversal occurred in the second half of the year. LG, which had holes in its starting lineup, chose Lee as its starting pitcher. Starting with the first two innings, Lee gradually increased the number of innings, and served as the starting pitcher fairly stably. He made 13 starts, recording 4 wins and 2 losses and an ERA of 4.02. With Lee holding on as starting pitcher, LG was able to advance faster by winning the regular league championship.

In the Korean Series, he went back to being a bullpen pitcher and made an impressive save in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 3.

Lee Jung-yong, who joined Sangmu after winning the championship, is already ready to be discharged from the military. "I plan to put Lee in the position he needs when he returns. Since Sangmu is pitching as a starter, he can be a starting pitcher and a bullpen pitcher. So if the starting pitcher doesn't work well, he can put Lee in as a starting pitcher, and if the bullpen doesn't work well, he can be a strength in the bullpen," Yeom said, displaying strong faith in Lee.

Currently, four LG starters, including Yonny Chirinos, Son Joo-young, Lim Chan-gyu, and Song Seung-ki, are taking the mound in accordance with the rotation without a break. With Elieiser Hernandez out due to injury, Coen Win is the substitute starter, and when Lee Jung-yong returns, Hernandez is returning to throw. For LG, which does not have a suitable sixth starter, existing starters will throw in accordance with the rotation until Lee Jung-yong arrives, giving Lee a break in turn after Lee Jung-yong arrives, and will likely play the role of six starters throwing instead of Lee Jung-yong on the spot. Three months after the start of the season, Lee Jung-yong's return is like a welcome rain in a drought.

Lee has been displaying stable pitching recently, raising expectations for his return to LG. He started the game at a Futures League game against the Doosan Bears on Sunday, and played six innings for the first time this season. Having thrown 78 pitches, Lee recorded three hits, one walk, seven strikeouts, and no run. Lee, who became the winning pitcher with Sangmu's 3-0 victory, has given up five earned runs in 21 innings in the recent four games, displaying stability with an ERA of 2.14.
