    KT Coach Lee Kang-chul said to Yuk Cheong-myeong

    KT Coach Lee Kang-chul said to Yuk Cheong-myeong, Who is About to Make his First Start, “Show Potential”

    Right-handed pitcher Yuk Cheong-myeong (18), who graduated from Gangneung High School and joined KT Wiz prior to this season, will stand on the mound as a starting pitcher for the first time.

    Yuk Cheong-myeong will appear as a starting pitcher in the professional baseball Kiwoom Heroes game to be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 17th.

    Yuk Cheong-myeong, who had been the ace player since his second year at Gangneung High School, was mentioned as a candidate for the first round, but was pushed to the second round due to the aftermath of elbow surgery in his third year.

    KT selected Yuk Cheong-myeong as the 17th overall pick in the second round in the 2024 season KBO rookie draft held last year. 토토사이트 추천

    Yuk Cheong-myeong, who used to throw up to 150 kilometers per hour at his best, is gradually recovering his velocity.

    On the 13th, against SSG Landers, he appeared in the 9th inning and went 1 inning, allowing 1 hit, 2 walks, and no runs, and successfully completed his first team debut.

    Ahead of this day’s game, KT Coach Lee Kang-cheol said, “Yuk Cheong-myeong is a player who received training as a starting pitcher in the 2nd team.

    I hope he gets a spot (in the starting lineup).

    “Rather than not giving a point and saying, ‘I hope I can show my potential by saying, ‘If I can do this, I can see more (in the first team),’” he said.

    “Rather than expecting a long throw, the priority is to show the ability to fight against opposing hitters.”

    Coach Lee said, “I think we need to keep an eye on him because there is talk that his pitch drops after about 50 throws,” and added, “If we see it, we will change it.”

    If he continues to show like that, he can be used as a middle pitcher for now.

    Won Sang-hyun also shows the same behavior (his pitching status decreases as the number of pitches increases), and both players can be used as middle players.

    He explained, “I’m still young, so I can go back to the starting position at any time.”

    Park Young-Hyun and Son Dong-Hyun, No Runs

    Park Young-Hyun and Son Dong-Hyun, No Runs… The Key to KT’s Rebound From 2 Losses is ‘Bullpen’

    Professional baseball KT Wiz finisher Kim Jae-yoon did not pitch in the first and second games of the playoffs (PO) against the NC Dinos.

    As they were pushed back early in the first and second games held in their home Suwon,

    there was no opportunity for KT’s closing pitcher to take the mound. 안전놀이터 토토사이트

    KT Wiz

    KT, who suffered 2 losses in the PO of 3 wins out of 5, will exit the fall stage if they lose one more.

    In PO games 1 and 2, KT had offensive indicators (KT team batting average of 0.227, 7 runs, NC team batting average of 0.243, 12 runs) and starting pitcher performance (KT 8 innings, 10 hits, 10 runs, 7 earned runs, NC 12⅓ innings, 4 hits, 1 run) was pushed out of

    However, in the bullpen battle, KT was ahead of NC.

    Game 1 and 2 starters William Cuevas (6 hits, 7 runs, 4 earned runs in 3 innings) and Wes Benjamin (4 hits, 3 runs in 5 innings) both pitched below expectations, so the KT bullpen was responsible for a total of 10 innings in the 2 games.

    Despite quite a bit of pressure, the KT bullpen did well in 10 innings,

    allowing 8 hits and 2 runs (average ERA of 1.80).

    NC Dinos

    NC fought back from Eric Peddy (6 innings, 3 hits, 1 run) followed by Shin Min-hyuk (6 ⅓ innings, 1 hit, no runs),

    leaving only 5 ⅔ innings to the bullpen in the 2 games.

    Although they maintained victory in both games, the NC bullpen,

    somewhat tired after going through the wild card game and semi-playoff,

    gave up 11 hits in 5⅔ innings and allowed 6 runs (5 earned, ERA 7.94).

    In particular, the fact that closer Lee Yong-chan had 5 hits in 1⅔ innings of two games raises anxiety.

    Lee Yong-chan was responsible for only one run,

    but he allowed four runners sent out by the preceding pitcher to score.

    KT’s ideal scenario for the remainder of the series, which is pushed to the edge,

    is to start the bullpen fight while taking the lead.

    Park Young-hyun (KT), who ranked first in holds in this year’s regular season with 3 wins, 3 losses, 4 saves, 32 holds, and an ERA of 2.75,

    appeared in both games in this PO and pitched well, allowing 1 hit and no runs in 3 innings.

    Son Dong-hyun, another pillar of the bullpen, also pitched well in this PO,

    allowing 2 hits and no runs in 3 innings in 2 games.

    Overseas Training Begins 52 Days Ahead of the Opening of the Professional Baseball Season… KT 1st Camp in Busan

    52 days before the opening of the professional baseball regular season,

    nine clubs are setting up spring camps overseas.

    Only KT Wiz will conduct the first winter training in Gijang, Busan,

    and the second will be held in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, focusing on actual training.

    First, on the 29th, Doosan Bears and Kiwoom Heroes leave for Sydney, Australia and Arizona, USA, respectively. 바카라사이트

    Training

    On the 30th, six teams – SSG Landers (Florida, USA), Hanwha Eagles (Melbourne, Australia),

    Samsung Lions (Okinawa Prefecture), LG Twins/NC Dinos (Arizona),

    and KIA Tigers (Canberra, Australia) – left the country at once. Incheon Airport is expected to be crowded.

    The Lotte Giants move to Guam on the 31st.

    Starting from February 1st, when the nominal inactivity period (December to January of the following year) ends,

    until the regular season opening game on March 23rd,

    the 10 teams will work hard for 52 days in winter training and exhibition games that will determine this year’s farming season. am.

    In the name of self-training, several players from each club have already gone to the United States or Japan to improve their condition in a warm environment.

    This year’s regular season was held more than a week earlier than usual.

    This is to prepare for the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 to be held in November and to proactively respond to the rapidly increasing number of rainy weather game cancellations due to climate change.

    The seven clubs, who have refined their skills through the first physical and team tactical training,

    move to Japan and Taiwan to develop their sense of real-life combat.

    The Clubs

    LG and NC will stay only in the United States and return to Korea in early March,

    while the three clubs Doosan, KIA, and Hanwha and Lotte will head north to Miyazaki and Okinawa Prefectures in Japan.

    Five clubs, Samsung, KT, KIA, Hanwha, and Lotte, test their skills through the ‘Okinawa League’.

    SSG (Chiaihyeon) and Kiwoom (Kaohsiung) will establish a second base camp in Taiwan.

    Prior to the official opening match of the Major League Baseball (MLB) between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres,

    which will be held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on March 20-21,

    last year’s combined championship team LG and Gocheok Dome’s owner Kiwoom will meet with the Dodgers on March 17-18.

    A practice match is held against San Diego.

    In addition, the national team (Team Korea), which will be led by a new full-time manager,

    will also play evaluation games against the Dodgers and San Diego for two days to boost the opening atmosphere.

    Son Dong-Hyun and Park Young-Hyun of KT’s Sure-Win Relay

    Son Dong-Hyun and Park Young-Hyun of KT’s Sure-Win Relay Pitching Team, Pitching Without Giving Up Any Goals Side by Side

    Son Dong-hyun and Park Young-hyun, who are responsible for the back and back of professional baseball KT Wiz, pitched well together in their second exhibition game appearances.

    Dong-hyun Son took the mound as the team’s second pitcher in the 4th inning in an exhibition game against SSG Landers at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 12th and pitched 2 innings with only 1 hit and no runs. 바카라사이트

    Park Young-hyun

    Park Young-hyun, who received the baton in the top of the 6th inning from Son Dong-hyun,

    also pitched 29 pitches, one short of the scheduled 30, and finished the 2nd inning cleanly with 3 strikeouts.

    The two struggled in their first appearance in an exhibition game against the LG Twins on the 9th.

    Dong-Hyun Son allowed 2 hits and 1 run in 1 inning, and Young-Hyun Park allowed 1 run in 1⅓ innings.

    Before the game that day, KT coach Lee Kang-cheol was worried that Park Young-hyun and Son Dong-hyun’s pace had not picked up yet.

    Son Dong-hyun

    Dong-Hyun Son is a setup man who appears on the mound in the 7th to 8th inning, and Young-Hyun Park is a new closer.

    In particular, Park Young-hyun was unable to pitch in a single game during the spring camp practice game due to rain, so his sense of real-life performance has been greatly reduced.

    Park Young-hyun and Son Dong-hyun are not on track to join the national baseball team and must play in evaluation games against the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres on the 17th and 18th, so Coach Lee is deeply concerned.

    Fortunately, Son Dong-hyun dispelled concerns by raising the maximum speed of the day to 146 km per hour.

    Park Young-hyun wasted a lot of pitches in a 10-pitch battle with Cho Hyeong-woo,

    but hit a top speed of 146 km/h.

    However, only 11 out of 18 fast balls were judged as strikes, so the control was not very satisfactory.

    KT Benjamin, Who Burns his Resolve in PO Game 5

    KT Benjamin, who burns his resolve in PO Game 5, “Does anything for the team to win”

    KT Wiz foreign pitcher Wes Benjamin is showing his determination for the 5th game of the professional baseball playoffs (PO, 3 wins in 5 games).

    The KT, which is behind NC Dinos with 1 win and 2 losses,

    must win the 4th game on the 3rd to play the 5th game.

    KT Wiz

    The starting pitcher for Game 5 has not yet been announced.

    Benjamin started in Game 2 of PO on the 31st of last month and became the losing pitcher after allowing 4 hits, no walks, 2 strikeouts, and 3 runs in 5 innings. 카지노사이트원

    Benjamin, whom we met ahead of Game 4, said, “If I go to Game 5, I think I will face the best pitcher,

    (Eric) Peddy,” and expressed his determination, “I will not fight that player, but myself.”

    He said, “If NC Dinos gets a bullpen pitcher out a little sooner,

    I think our team will also have a good opportunity.”

    When asked what difference there would be from the second game, he said, “If there is such a thing,

    I can’t say it publicly,” and then laughed and replied,

    “I think there will be good results if I focus on my mechanics and pitch my own way.”

    Wes Benjamin

    The second game of PO was also Wes Benjamin’s first real game in 25 days after suffering from left arm pain.

    However, he had the misfortune of being hit in the thigh by a hard ball in the top of the 5th inning.

    Benjamin reassured him that his condition had recovered to 100%.

    Benjamin said, “Actually, I had a nerve problem in my neck,

    but the doctor and trainer helped me a lot, and my physical condition has improved a lot.

    Even when I got hit by a batted ball, it was lumpy for 2 or 3 days,

    but today when I pitched in the bullpen,

    it didn’t hurt and my physical condition was perfect.”

    “It does,” he said.

    KT’s starting pitcher on this day was William Cuevas, who took the mound four days after the first PO game.

    It reminds me of Benjamin’s dedication last season.

    At that time, Benjamin took only two days off after leading the team to victory in the last home game of the regular season and pitched in the bullpen in the wild card game against the KIA Tigers.

    And after only three days of rest, he started in the second game of the semi-playoffs against Kiwoom Heroes.

    NC Coach Kang In-kwon, Expected Cuevas to be Selected

    NC coach Kang In-kwon “I expected Cuevas to be selected… I think Bae Je-seong will also be prepared.”

    NC Dinos coach Kang In-kwon said he expected KT Wiz foreign pitcher William Cuevas to start in Game 4 of the playoffs (PO).

    William Cuevas

    Cuevas will start after only three days of rest after the first PO game on the 30th of last month.

    This is a card of remorse brought out by KT, which is trying to drag the PO series to the 5th game.

    Ahead of the 4th PO game to be held at Changwon NC Park in Gyeongsangnam-do on the 3rd,

    Manager Kang said, “I was somewhat aware of the number of pitches (75) in the first game when Cuevas was lowered,”

    “It is clearly the time for Cuevas to come in.” 카지노사이트킹

    At that time, Cuevas came off the mound after 3 innings with 6 hits (1 home run),

    2 walks, and 7 runs (4 earned).

    Regarding the exclusion of KT starting resources, Manager Kang predicted,

    “I think we will definitely prepare (in the bullpen) today.”

    After losing the second game of PO, KT coach Lee Kang-cheol kept quiet about how to utilize Cuevas and Bae Seong, saying, “I will think about it after winning the third game first.”

    Coach Kang In-kwon

    The NC starter facing Cuevas is Song Myeong-ki.

    If Song Myung-gi, who had 4 wins, 9 losses, and an ERA of 4.83 in the regular season, collapses early,

    right-hander Lee Jae-hak and left-hander Choi Seong-young are scheduled to pitch as long relief depending on the situation.

    Coach Kang, who suffered his first loss after six straight postseason wins, said he did not send a separate message to the players.

    Coach Kang expressed his belief, saying, “Rather than meeting separately and delivering a message,

    simply smiling brightly and encouraging players on the field will help their performance,” and added, “The players are doing their best right now.”

    Regarding the batting sluggishness, he said, “Since the battle for rankings started in early October,

    it should be considered that it has been a post-season for almost a month.

    If there is an upward trend in batting, there are times when it goes down.”

    At the same time, he said, “Since the winning streak was broken yesterday,

    I think there will be an upward trend again in the future.”

    The NC batting order on this day was the same as in Game 3 the previous day.
