LG Twins’ 6th outfielder Lee Chun-woong will remain in the first team for a while. 스포츠토토
Lee Cheon-woong was included in the roster for the opening game on the 1st. LG coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop did not have Lee Chun-woong as a member of the 1st team from the beginning of the camp, so Lee Chun-woong was considered to be down to the 2nd team when the 3rd and 4th selections were made next week.
It wasn’t. Director Yeom kept his promise.
Coach Yeom said whenever he talked about Lee Chun-woong, “When there is an injured or sluggish player in the first team and needs to leave, Lee Chun-woong comes up first.” As a 35-year-old veteran outfielder, if he stays only in the second team, his motivation may disappear, so coach Yeom gave him the role of an emergency stand-by assistant.
Injuries occurred before the opening game. Lee Jae-won was out due to a side injury, and Son Ho-young, a backup infielder, suffered a hamstring injury. Since the infielder was injured, an infielder should be substituted, but coach Yeom chose Lee Chun-woong as his replacement.
When asked about Lee Chun-woong before the KT Wiz match held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 1st, Yeom said, “Lee Chun-woong will play until Son Ho-young returns.” “I’m going to be a left-handed pinch hitter,” he said. Son Ho-young’s back-up infielder position will be taken by Shin Min-jae.
Although Lee Cheon-woong spent his spring camp in Icheon, not Arizona, he improved his sense of the game by consistently participating in the demonstration game. He appeared in 13 games and had a batting average of 2.4 1 Lee (7 hits in 29 at-bats).
Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to hit first as a pinch hitter. At the beginning of the 7th inning, behind 1-11, he was named as a pinch hitter for No. 7 Song Chan-eui with 2 outs, 1st and 2nd base. However, at this time, KT replaced the pitcher from sidearm Lee Chae-ho to left-hander Park Se-jin, and manager Yeom replaced Lee Chun-woong with Kim Min-seong as a pinch hitter.
Director Yeom kept his promise. Since the infielder was injured, it was right that the infielder would come up as a substitute, but coach Yeom gave Lee Chun-woong a chance. It’s Lee Chun-woong’s turn to answer.
