Will LG Twins’ veteran pitcher Song Eun-beom (39) succeed in making a comeback as a backup card for the bullpen? 메이저사이트
Song Eun-beom was not included in the first-team spring camp being held in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. He could not agree on an annual salary renewal until the end of January, and on the 12th he belatedly signed a 140 million won contract.
LG pitcher Song Eun-beom (39), the only one out of 10 clubs that did not have an annual salary contract, belatedly renewed his annual salary contract with the club. Last year’s annual salary of 150 million won was reduced by 10 million won, and after the start of the spring camp, he endured and eventually agreed to the club’s proposal.
Even before his contract, Song Eun-beom, who had undergone personal training at LG Champions Park in Icheon with the club’s consideration, joined the second team camp at Champions Park after the contract. He starts in the second team camp, but can be a reserve resource for the first team during the season.
Song Eun-beom received surgery after rupturing the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee while catching a ground ball during a game in August of the 2021 season. He returned to the first team at the end of July last year, and while playing in the pursuit group, he recorded an average ERA of 4.05 with 1 win, 1 loss and 2 holds in 25 games (26⅔ innings).
However, the depth of the LG mound is getting thicker and thicker. LG brought 26 pitchers to the first-team camp. We prepare up to 7-8 domestic starters, and the bullpen also wants to develop left and right depth. Finisher Ko Woo-seok and setup man Jung Woo-young are there, and Lee Jung-yong postponed enlisting in the military and will continue to play this season.
Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop plans to properly appoint right-handers Baek Seung-hyeon and Seong Dong-hyeon, who played consistently in the second team last year, to the first team this year. Yun Ho-sol, who was brought in as a reward player for free agent Chae Eun-seong (Hanwha), also gets a chance as a first-team bullpen. There is also Kim Jin-seong, who succeeded in making a comeback at LG last year and signed a 2-year FA contract (total of 700 million won). For the left-handed bullpen, Jin Hae-soo, Lee Woo-chan, Ham Deok-joo, and Choi Seong-hun are entry agents for the first team. The number of bullpens is overflowing.
Song Eun-beom, who has rich experience and veteran experience, also has a chance. If Ko Woo-seok and Jung Woo-young from the bullpen are selected for the Asian Games team during the season, alternative resources are needed. In addition, Seong Dong-hyun and Baek Seung-hyun, who still have little experience in the first team, can be appointed while arranging their physical strength by going back and forth between the 1st and 2nd teams in the middle of the season. There will always be a bullpen that gets tired over the course of the season. It is important to create the best condition to show a good ball whenever the opportunity arises.
