Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop of the LG Twins has nailed Yoni Chirinos as the starting pitcher for the opening game since the second camp in Okinawa. The team set up a rotation of Chirinos, Son Joo-young, Elijah Hernandez, Lim Chan-kyu and Song Seung-ki, and set up a schedule for the Okinawa practice game and the starting game in that order.토토사이트

Chirinos and Hernandez's performances in the exhibition games were different.

Chirinos started in two games and recorded one win and one loss with an earned run average of 5.63. He became the losing pitcher with three hits (one homer) and one walk, one strikeout and three runs during three ⅓ innings in the game against KT Wiz on Saturday, and became the winning pitcher with six hits, one walk, two strikeouts and two runs in four ⅔ innings against SSG Landers on Sunday.

Although the pitching is known to be powerful and the splitter and curve are good, the performance in the exhibition game was not very good.

Hernandez, on the other hand, was close to perfection. He had one win, no loss and an earned run average of 0.00 in two games. While pitching nine ⅓ innings, he had six hits, 10 strikeouts and one run ( earned run) without four outs.

Rather than thinking about starting the opening game over the two, it was difficult to change Hernandez to the starting pitcher later because Chirinos set the opening game against the Lotte Giants on the 22nd and Hernandez set the rotation of the exhibition game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 25th.

Despite Hernandez's good performance, Yeom had no intention of changing the first starter for Chirinos in the first place. He is confident of his success.

"I've never said a word to Chirinos. I don't think I've ever said anything other than 'Nice pitcher,'" Yeom said. "I told him the slide step was a bit slow, but he fixed it on his own." He said that Chirinos had conditions to succeed in the KBO league.

Coach Yeom advised foreign players to fill in the necessary parts and upgraded the players to succeed in the KBO League. During the Nexen years, Sosa abandoned his fighting spirit and became a long-running player by throwing a fastball, and the SK Wyverns made Sanchez mount a fork ball, and Sanchez won 17 games with a fork ball. Coach Yeom, who also ordered the new Detrick Ens to polish his change-up with a decision ball last year, also had Hernandez put on a fastball this season after the fastball timing hit him last season, which was one of the reasons for good pitching in exhibition games.

If there is anything necessary, it should be filled through spring camp, but the fact that manager Yeom did not make any orders at this time can be seen as evaluating that the ball type, ball power, and ball control that he has can work in the KBO league.

Now, the only thing left is whether his skills will be displayed on the ground. Yeom said of Chirinos, "He is a pitcher who can win more than 15 games." In order for LG to win the championship, a strong first starter is needed and Chirinos should play that role.
