LG Twins Jung Woo-young was sluggish in his first appearance in the Futures League. There was no walk, but his arrest was only in the early 140km range.카지노사이트
Jung Woo-young took the mound in the top of the sixth inning in a Futures League game against the Hanwha Eagles at LG Champions Park in Icheon on the 30th and allowed three hits, one strikeout, and two runs in one inning.
Jung Woo-young, who won the Rookie of the Year award in 2019, grew steadily and became the hold king with a fast mindset of up to 157 kilometers in 2022, playing an active role as LG's setup man.
However, his attempt to fix his slow slide step, which was considered a fatal weakness, rather made him lose his strength. As he performed fast motion, his speed decreased and his ball control became unstable.
In 2023, he was sluggish with a 4.70 ERA with 5 wins and 5 losses and 11 holds, and returned after the season after undergoing surgery to remove bone fragments in his elbow, but last year, he was 2-1 with 3 holds and a 4.76 ERA. The annual salary, which rose to 400 million won in the 2023 season, fell to 180 million won this year.
Jung received six weeks of training at the Tread Athletic Center in the U.S. after the season to find a pitching form that suits him. Jung, who expressed satisfaction, however, shocked the audience by showing poor control of his pitching in an exhibition game. At an exhibition game against the KT Wiz on Saturday, he garnered only one out count, walked two and threw wild pitches before leaving the mound. At the game against the Samsung Lions on Sunday, he also garnered one walk and one strikeout during ⅓ innings.
In the end, he decided to start from the ground up. Jung will take basic training and play in Futures League games once a week to check his performance, before moving down to the second tier.
And making his first appearance on the 30th.
Jung Woo-young, who came out in the top of the sixth inning when his team was losing 0-5, hit a ground ball in front of the shortstop in the sixth pitch after a full count battle with No. 7 Jung Min-gyu. He seemed to be unable to control the ball as it fell out of his hand in the beginning, but he gradually came around the strike zone.
From now on, left-handed batters appear one after another.
He struck out Song Ho-jeong No. 8 with a 129km curve in the ball count of 1B2S on the outside strike zone.
However, he allowed No. 9 Jeong An-seok to hit a double to the left, and allowed one run after being hit to the center field once or more. He then allowed a steal to the second base, with two outs and a hit to the left field by Lee Min-jae, and lost another run. He allowed another steal to the second base when Ha was at bat, but managed to catch Ha with a ground ball in front of the first baseman to end the inning.
The maximum speed of the day was 144km, and most of the fighting spirit took about 140,141km. Jung Woo-young, who recorded 146km in the exhibition game, is going through the process of re-establishing basic skills for stable pitching, so it is positive that he did not have a walk on the day.
