Yeom Kyung-yeop
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (53) said, “Kim Yun-sik was the player who was preparing for the starter variable as the ‘first choice’ before the pofessional baseball match against the Doosan Bears, which was scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 30th, was canceled due to rain.”
The player is Yunsik Kim.”
In the match against the NC Dinos on the 26th,
Plutko complained of discomfort in the adductor muscle on the inside of the thigh, threw only 4 innings before giving up.
After a detailed examination, the diagnosis of left pelvic contusion came out.
The LG club expects a period of 4-5 weeks for Plutco to leave.
Director Yeom was preparing alternative resources in preparation for the departure of the existing starting lineup.
Kim Yun-sik
He said, “Kim Yoon-sik, Lee Min-ho, and Son Ju-yeong were ready to come up to the 1st team at any time from the Futures (2nd team) team.”
“The number 1 alternative resource is Kim Yun-sik
If Kim Yun-sik is shaken, he will give other players a chance.”
The KBO organizes a double header on September 9th, so we need alternative resources other than Kim Yun-shik .
Son Ju-young is scheduled to start.”
Kim Yun-sik started the 2023 season with the 4th starter, but was sluggish with 3 wins and 4 losses with an average ERA of 5.29 went down to the 2nd team on June 9th.
Initially, coach Yeom planned to bring Kim Yun-sik to the first team in mid-August, but changed his plan after recruiting Choi Won-tae as a starting resource on July 29.
Yunsik Kim prepared for the ‘what if situation’ by consistently starting in the second group.
When Plutko left due to injury, Manager Yeom first took out Kim Yun-sik’s card.
Last Year
In the second half of last year, Kim Yun-shik posted 5 wins and 2 losses and an average ERA of 2.68, emerging as LG’s next-generation left-handed ace.
He faltered in the first half of this year, but in the second half, Kim Yun-shik got a chance to play an active role again.
Kim Yun-sik plans to return to the first team in about three months against the Hanwha Eagles on September 3.
As of the 30th, LG is running first.
Batting Average
The team’s batting average (0.282) and ERA (3.70) are also first.
However, the average ERA of the starters was 4.10, falling to 6th place.
Manager Yeom said, “Attack has a cycle.
In order to run the season stably, ‘starting baseball’ is necessary.”
