The ‘Jamsil Big Boy’ opens up about his injury after failing to lose weight
For the second year in a row, the LG Twins’ top pitching prospects have been plagued by injuries in spring training. Jae-won Lee, 25, the “Jamsil Big Boy,” suffered a season-long injury to his adductor muscle in spring training last year. This year, Kim Bum-seok (20), the next-generation catcher, was sent home early from spring training due to an adductor muscle injury.
Lee suffered the injury last year during spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. He was unable to train properly due to the injury in mid-February, and returned for the March exhibition game. However, she re-injured her obliques again during the exhibition game. The two injuries ultimately ruined his season last year, as he was not in the best shape before the start of the season.
Kim Bum-seok caught the attention of the coaching staff, including head coach Yoon Kyung-yup, during spring training this year. Kim, 메이저사이트 who was drafted in the first round (7th overall) last year, showed a talent for hitting, and Yim planned to use him as a backup catcher behind starter Park Dong-won this season. In addition to catching, he also trained him to play first base, so he could play first base defense.
But after just two weeks, he went down with an injury.
Kim returned to Korea on March 17 and joined the second team camp at LG Champions Park in Icheon. He will rehabilitate for the time being and have his injury status reviewed in early March.
Lee Jae-won, who has been through the same injury before, had some uneasy premonitions about Kim’s obliques. It wasn’t just his weight that was an issue.
Looking back on his injury last year, Lee said, “I think it’s inevitable that I’m going to get injured.” He added, “When I go to camp, it’s a bit hard. I train really hard, and I do some moves that don’t suit me, so I think I get injured because I make an error. I got injured because I used a muscle that I didn’t use before.”
Lee tends to get injured while practicing batting. Lee Jae-won said, “The coach doesn’t say anything about batting here, and if I keep going, it doesn’t matter (I don’t have a problem with my body). But when they (the coaching staff) give me a direction, I think I get hurt because I make an error and get hurt, just like if you keep doing the same thing and then do it differently,” he said cautiously.
“I was there (last year’s camp) and I was doing what I was supposed to be doing, and I was doing something I shouldn’t be doing, and that’s when I got hurt,” he added. Kim’s injury was partly a result of not losing enough weight, but also a result of his body not adapting properly in his first training camp.
In a way, Kim’s injury is an opportunity for Lee Jae-won.
The competition for spots on the team is unavoidable. Yeom didn’t bring Lee Jae-won to the first team spring training. He didn’t plan to use him in the first team this season. Lee is still waiting for the final announcement from the Commerce Baseball Organization, and if he is accepted, he will enlist in the military in June.
Yeom mentioned that he plans to develop other prospects, including Kim Bum-seok, rather than Lee Jae-won, who will play for two months and then go to the military. The team would benefit from the development of other prospects during Lee’s military service.
However, 카지노사이트 Kim Bum-seok’s injury changed the way they thought about backup resources, and they decided to give Lee Jae-won a first-team opportunity.
“Honestly, there’s nothing good about it, it’s just the way it is. I’m just going to go my own way without thinking about anything. I think good things will come from that,” he said, adding, “I just want to have fun playing baseball until I enlist.”
