Lim Joon-hyung, a left-hander of the LG Twins in the professional baseball league, is expected to become a new vitality in the bullpen. Lim Joon-hyung, who was discharged from the military in mid-July, showed potential in the LG bullpen, which does not have a proper left-handed bullpen.메이저사이트
Lim Joon-hyung took the mound as a relief pitcher against Lotte on the 25th and showed good pitching with no hits, two strikeouts and no runs in one ⅔.
In the top of the fifth inning, Austin hit a three-run homer to lead the team to 3-5. Lim took the mound in the bottom of the fifth inning by saving pitcher Kim Young-joon with one out and a runner on the second base. He grounded out left-handed batter Ko Seung-min to the second base, and had two outs and a third base. Jeon ended the inning without losing a run by hitting a fly ball to the left field.
Taking the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning as well, Lim struck out Park with a 147-km fastball from the full count. Son was out with a 145-km fastball to the right field, and Hwang was out with a 147-km fastball to swing and miss to end the game. Lim was replaced by Kim Dae-hyun in the bottom of the seventh inning.
LG played the game as a forced bullpen day when starter Choi Won-tae was sent off with a head shot with one out and runners on the first and second bases in the first inning. Eight bullpen pitchers pitched well with one run in 10 ⅔ innings until the 11th inning of overtime, winning the game 9-6.
Coach Yeom said at Jamsil Stadium on the 26th, “The bullpen showed good performances, so I hope it continues to be good. I hope everyone gets better yesterday because I went back and forth this season.”
At the same time, he expressed his expectations on left-hander Lim Joon-hyung. “I’m using it while managing it, but I’m carefully predicting and expecting that Jun-young will be a big help in the second half,” Yeom said. “If (Kim) Yoo-young and I get a position in the left-handed winning group, I think it will be much better to run the game.”
Im Jun-hyung, who was drafted by LG in the second eighth round of the 2019 Rookie Draft (the 75th overall pick), joined Sangmu after the 2022 season. He made his debut in 2021, and had a 4.75 ERA with 2 wins, 3 losses, and 1 hold in 16 games before joining the army.
Lim Joon-hyung, who was discharged from Sangmu, took the mound for the first time against SSG on the 17th, but he was sluggish with two hits, one walk and three runs against three batters without getting an out count. It seems that he felt a lot of pressure because it was his return match.
At the time, Yeom said, “It’s my first time, so we have to wait and see. I don’t think my physical condition is 100 percent yet. I think I should not order consecutive pitching for about two weeks and post it in a comfortable situation. The maximum speed of my fastball speed hit 147 kilometers. He is the fastest among our left-handed bullpen pitchers.”
Still, he is careful about consecutive pitching. “We have to be careful because we are just getting started after recovering from injury. I will think about consecutive pitching starting next week, but if we discuss it with the training part and ask them to postpone it by another week, we will have to postpone it,” Yeom said.
