From the camp, I thought it would not be easy. Ko Woo-suk, who made 139 saves in his career, is without Lee Jung-yong, who played well both as the starting pitcher and in the middle. To make matters worse, Jung Woo-young and Ham Deok-ju were put on the operating table. Jung Woo-young did not leave the camp long enough to rehabilitate, but Ham Deok-ju was confirmed to be absent early in the first two months of the season. Last year, four of the seven players in the all-time winning group disappeared and had to face the opening of this year.
This was not the end. Bad news on the mound erupted like a year ago. Starting with Baek Seung-hyun, who was excluded from the entry due to the struggle for control, the unwanted separation continued. Lee Ji-gang, who was promoted to the must-win group from the Long Relief on the 11th, went down to the second division due to injury, and Yun Ho-sol, who took the mound several times on the lead on the 12th, went down to the second division due to poor performance. On the 14th, Kim Jin-seong, who showed the best performance in the second half of last year, was removed from the entry due to colds.
On Saturday, Baek moved to Icheon again due to elbow injury less than 10 days after his return. On Sunday, Choi Dong-hwan, who had been keeping the bullpen for recent years, left the mound due to flank pain. On Sunday, Choi took the mound in the eighth inning and felt pain while lifting the hold. At first, he thought he would have no problem, but he ended up missing the entry.
When the team opened on March 23, Yoo Young-chan, Baek Seung-hyeon, Park Myung-geun, Kim Jin-seong, and Lee Woo-chan decided to form a bullpen session. Choi Dong-hwan, Yoon Ho-sol, and Kim Yoo-young supported them. However, Yoo Young-chan, Park Myung-geun, and Lee Woo-chan are the only ones left in the bullpen session a month later. Even if the team expands its scope, only four players including Kim Yoo-young are still alive in the April 23 entry. Having spent an eventful month, the boundary between the group that needs to win and the group that pursues the game has virtually collapsed. If anything, Kim Dae-hyun is in a position close to the group that needs to win.
As the process is complicated, the result is quite unfamiliar. As of Tuesday, LG's bullpen ERA was 4.38, ranking fourth in this category. He has maintained the No. 1 position over the past three years, but is in the middle of the league with 26 games played this year.
Nevertheless, if one broadens his horizons, he has made some good saves. He tied for first with Kia, Samsung, Lotte and Kiwoom at the very least in this category with two blon saves. He is the lone top in this category with a batting average of 0.248 for intermediate pitchers. He ranks sixth at the minimum in this category, but needs to take into account the fact that his bullpen has changed every day.
There is also a harvest amid changes. Newcomer Woo Kang-hoon, who was hired in a surprise trade, became the winning pitcher in the first round of the doubleheader against SSG on the 21st. Lee Jong-joon, who was recruited in the second draft, also started the first division stage with two scoreless games. Two pitchers, who were extremely unfamiliar with the first division, showed their potential by throwing fastballs of more than 150 kilometers per hour.
The eldest brother will also return. Kim Jin-sung, who can join the first team on the 24th, moved to Daegu with his teammates. He will not be able to take the mound for the first time in three consecutive games on weekdays on the 23rd, but will be able to play in the first team from the next day. Jung Woo-young, who played 4.1 innings in four games in the second team, also looks at the timing of joining the first team.
It is an endless reorganization. He hopes for the best. In the end, he draws a blueprint to build a group of all players as he did last year.
"What's important is Yoo Young-chan, Park Myung-geun and Baek Seung-hyun. If Kim Dae-hyun, Jung Woo-young and Lee Sang-young come to the stage, they will be able to display the same competitiveness as last year," manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said. "I will try to hold out until the end of April to reach over .500. When the bullpen gradually settles down from May, I will look higher up then."
