News of the 10 teams' spring camps is spreading fast. Pitchers who will lead the team's mound during this season are warming up during the winter season and spraying balls vigorously in warm foreign countries. The news that 150 kilometers of balls will be thrown from the first bullpen session makes fans excited.

However, there is no news at the LG Twins, who have held a camp for three years in Scottsdale, Arizona. In particular, there are many curious pitchers such as Jang Hyun-sik and Kim Kang-ryul, who were recruited as FA and foreign pitchers of Yoni Chirinos and Eliaser Hernandez, Choi Chae-heung, veteran Shim Chang-min seeking the "second Kim Jin-sung," and rookie Kim Young-woo and Hyun Gi-hyun, who are spraying more than 150 kilometers of fastballs.스포츠토토

It was quieter in the beginning, however. Even after pitching in the bullpen for the first time, I couldn't figure out how fast I was able to hold the ball.

Of course, there was a reason. Because the restraint was not measured. There was a reason for this, too.

From this spring camp, it has been decided not to measure the data during pitchers' first official bullpen pitching.

Cha Myung-seok, LG's general manager, and the analysis team have decided not to install the measuring equipment in order to make the team throw the ball in a comfortable manner because if the data equipment is installed from the first bullpen session, pitchers may be nervous about throwing it in front of the coaching staff, and if speed is measured, players may unconsciously overdo it in order to secure the ball speed. Of course, the team had prior consultations with the coaching staff including Yeom Kyung-yeop and pitcher Kim Kwang-sam.

In the first bullpen pitching, he learned the tension in his body by focusing only on pitching without paying attention to the restraint, and then measured the change from the second pitching.

In the second bullpen pitching, of course, you could see how fast the ball was. Eliaser Hernandez sprayed up to 147km, and Son Joo-young recorded 140km.

In fact, pitchers often pitch to some extent before the spring camp, so they throw without paying attention to the measuring equipment. Especially recently, there is always a measuring equipment, so it can be awkward not to have one.

However, in bullpen pitching that coaches and coaching staff are seeing for the first time ahead of the season, no matter how often a pitcher throws, he or she can be nervous unconsciously. New foreign pitchers, rookies, and transfer players have the mindset that they need to show something, so they can overdo it without realizing it, and a single ball thrown at that time can lead to injury.

For LG, pitchers this season are really important. We need to find a starting position where FA Choi Won-tae left in this spring camp, and we need to create a must-win group. In particular, in the case of bullpen, closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan is expected to return to the team only in the second half due to microfractures in his elbow, and Ham Deok-joo is also expected to do the same. We need to test with a lot of players as we have to make a new bulpezin.

Of course, it can be an opportunity for players, so it should be in the eyes of the coaching staff. In this case, injury is fatal.

Just once. Throwing a ball comfortably at the first bullpen session without measuring speed. This is careful consideration to prevent a single ball from coming out at all, which may occur at any time. LG desperately needs to beat even a stone's leg.
