At the dugout near the first base of the Daegu Samsung Lions Park on Sunday, Son Joo-young (26) of the LG Twins was interviewing reporters surrounded by reporters. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who was passing by, said, “Son has grown a lot. Let’s play the second round.” Not knowing what to do, Son smiled and said, “(Thanks to the comment that Son has grown a lot).”
LG’s card for starting Son Joo-young in the second round of the PO was canceled.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop expressed regret, saying, “In the training part, there is a risk that Son Joo-young will start in the second game.”
Son, who posted 9 wins, 10 losses and one hold and an ERA of 3.79 this season, played as a bullpen pitcher in his semi-PO against KT Wiz due to team circumstances. He pitched twice and allowed no runs during 7 1/3 innings. He pitched so well with two hits, one walk and 11 strikeouts. “The strength of the ball in the bullpen was really good. It was very fun. I felt more confident after the game,” Son said.
As previously announced, LG decided to operate the fourth starter in the PO, and Son Joo-young also rejoined the starting team.
“We are considering Son’s second and third matches of the 슬롯사이트 at the PO. However, we need to give more thought to Jooyoung because the speed of her recovery is also important,” Yeom said after the fifth match of the semi-PO. He considered Son, who threw 29 pitches in Game 5, as a starting player after two days off because he is in much better condition than ENS recently. ENS had a bad ERA of 7.27 in the semi-PO.
Son Joo-young’s physical condition did not rise completely and he was concerned about the possibility of injury in the training part. If Son Joo-young plays in the second round of the PO, she should take the mound after two days off.
Son Joo-young is trying to continue his rise in semi-PO as he has been given a break period. “My body has not fully recovered yet,” he said before the first round of PO on the 13th. “It is important to set up a match in better condition than throwing it in this condition.”
Unlike the previous semi-PO, he remained in the dugout rather than in the bullpen, saying, “I think I will watch baseball more comfortably today.” “I am going to examine and analyze the pitching reactions and senses of Samsung batters,” he said. “I think I will gain more strength by throwing at home Jamsil Stadium (in Game 3).”
