LG Manager Youm Kyoung-youb: "The Best Players in the First Half are Son Ju-young and Yoo Young-chan"

Our team's score in the first half was 'good' among the best

LG Twins manager Youm Kyoung-youb selected starting pitcher Son Joo-young and closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan as the team's best players in the first half of the 2024 professional baseball season.

Ahead of the away game against Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 2nd, manager Youm said, "The best players in the first half are Son Joo-young and Yoo Young-chan."

He added, "Son Joo-young effectively took over the starting spot in June, a crucial month, and prevented mound overload, while Yoo Young-chan had a huge impact on the team's atmosphere by preventing a close game." 실시간 바카라사이트

He continued, "Thanks to the two players, we were able to prevent the worst situation," and added, "First of all, I want to give our team a 'good' score in the first half of the season."

Defending champion LG suffered a setback in May when left-handed starting pitcher Kim Yun-sik was out with an elbow injury and Choi Won-tae was out with a gluteus medius injury.

On top of that, homegrown ace Im Chan-gyu was also out of the starting rotation due to back pain.

Meanwhile, Son Ju-young, the fifth starter, has consistently maintained his position.

If Son Ju-young was in charge of the front door, Yoo Young-chan blocked the back door.

Yoo Young-chan, who was selected as the closing pitcher this season, played in 36 games this season, and had a record of 5 wins, 3 losses, 17 saves, and an ERA of 1.89, which was better than expected.

With the major bullpen pitchers shaken by injuries and poor performance, Yoo Young-chan's great pitching was a great help to LG.

Manager Youm Kyoung-youb mentioned the names of the two pitchers ahead of the All-Star break and expressed his gratitude.

Manager Youm also said that the management of injured players will be a key point in the fight for rankings in the second half of the season.

Manager Youm said, "Many teams had a difficult first half due to injuries, and as a result, the league's leveling trend has become more intense," and "the final ranking will also be greatly affected by the injury variable."

For now, LG is smoothly gathering momentum for the second half ranking battle as injured players return one by one.
