LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's concerns about infield backup resources deepened.
LG lost 4-9 in an exhibition game against KT at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th. Starter Son Joo-young blocked four scoreless innings well, but the bullpen collapsed. Young backup players who were put in as big money also showed instability.토토사이트
Lee Young-bin (23), a promising shortstop, made a big defense mistake on the day. Lee, who replaced Oh Ji-hwan at the shortstop in the sixth inning, failed to catch Yoon Joon-hyuk's hit that fell in front of his feet with the bases loaded with one out, which was being chased 4-2. With the bases loaded, LG lost a large number of runs and was ultimately upset by KT.
Lee was in the middle of a "young LG" initiative this season. Lee, who was discharged from the military athletic department last season, hit a batting average of 0.385 in 10 games in August right after his return to the military. He hit a batting average of 0.222 in 31 games for the first team last year and hit two home runs. "I will give Lee more chances this year," Yeom said while preparing for the season.
Lee had hits in both exhibition games this year. However, he still feels unstable in defense. After watching the game, Yeom judged that Lee needs more experience in real games. In the Sangmu baseball team, Lee was outfielder instead of shortstop, his main position, which was pushed by Shim Woo-joon of the Hanwha Eagles.
Coach Yeom said on the 10th, "Lee Young-bin has to play a lot of games, but he can't play right away if he's in the first team, so I'm going to let him play full-time in the second team for about a month."
"If you are in the first team, you can only play one game a week at the most. That is not good for both players and the team," Yeom said. "It will be more helpful for Lee to continue playing in the second team from April to May."
