LG Twins’ “light speed side arm pitcher” Jung Woo-young (25) will have time to reorganize.

Jung Woo-young, who joined LG as the 15th pick in the second round of the 2019 Rookie Draft, became the Rookie of the Year in his first season (2019) with 4 wins, 6 losses, 1 save, 16 holds, and an ERA of 3.72. Since then, he has recorded 20 holds (20-27-35) for three consecutive years, and in 2022, he has recorded 2 wins, 3 losses, 35 holds, and an ERA of 2.64, winning the hold king.
Jung Woo-young, with a sinker of up to 157km/h from the side-arm pitching form, once received major league attention, but went downhill from the 2023 season. He slowed down to a 4.70 ERA with 5 wins, 6 losses and 11 holds last year, and had a hard time after the season, undergoing surgery to remove bone fragments in his elbow.
Jung Woo-young, who joined the first team since late April, about a month after the opening of this season, seemed to be cruising with a 1.59 ERA (one run in five ⅔ innings) in six games, but he was listed as injured due to his incomplete elbow surgery.
Jung Woo-young, who returned from injury, recorded an earned run of “0” in five games (4 ⅓ innings) in June, but was shaken by an 8.44 ERA (5 runs in 5 ⅓ innings) in eight games in July and an 8.10 ERA (3 runs in 3 ⅓ innings) in four games in August.
He showed his anxiety with 16.2 walks (6 walks in 3 ⅓) per 9 innings in August alone, including 3 walks in 1 inning against the NC Dinos on the 9th and 1 hit, 2 walks and 3 runs in 2 ⅓ innings against the KIA Tigers on the 17th.
Jung Woo-young, who recorded a record of 2 wins, 1 loss and 3 holds with an ERA of 4.34 in 23 games this season, went down to the second division and had time to readjust after showing a disappointing performance, especially with the succession runner’s run rate reaching 100 percent (8 runs out of 8).
