LG Twins’ next-generation geopo Lee Jae-won joins the first team.
LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the exhibition game against the KIA Tigers held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 20th, “Lee Jae-won received a call from the training part that he was cured as a result of the examination this morning. He will join the first team on the 21st.”카지노사이트
Lee Jae-won, who complained of flank pain at the end of the Arizona spring camp schedule, returned home on the 6th and was found to have microscopic muscle damage as a result of a detailed examination.
Without separate training in Futures (2nd group), he moves directly to the 1st group. Director Yeom predicted, “It will be difficult to play the real battle immediately after joining the first team.
Lee Jae-won is the next-generation giant who has won the Futures home run king for two consecutive years in the 2020-2021 season. He was recognized as a possibility last year when he hit 13 home runs in the first team. After finishing last season, Lee Jae-won planned to fulfill his military service obligations through military enlistment, but after meeting with coach Yeom’s will to “grow up like Park Byung-ho,” he decided to postpone his enlistment for a year and prepare for this season. Lee Jae-won is considered a candidate for the starting first baseman to fill the vacant position of Chae Eun-seong, who left for the Hanwha Eagles after obtaining FA status.
The key is how he prepares for the season in the aftermath of his injury. There are concerns that joining at the end of the demonstration game and not being able to digest a large number of at-bats will affect his performance at the beginning of the season. However, there is also an expectation that he will adapt to the first team stage without much difficulty, looking back on his experience with the first team last year and the fact that he has been steadily building his body during the US camp.
Manager Yeom said, “It is a pity for both the coach and the coaches to not have time to refine and prepare for the regular season,” he said.
