[엑스포츠뉴스 잠실, 김현세 기자] LG Twins manager Ryu Ji-hyun said that the trade signing player Ham Deok-ju will appear in the SSG Landers and Jamsil home game on the 29th.
LG made a two-to-two trade with Doosan Bears on the 26th. After giving away corner infielder Yang Seok-hwan and promising left-hander Nam-ho, Doosan received Chae Ji-sun, a bullpen pitcher Chae Ji-sun, and a left-handed bullpen pitcher Ham Deok-ju, from Doosan. Previously, General Manager Cha Myung-seok said that he would immediately add to Ham Deok-ju to increase the thickness of the starting pitcher, but he also suggested that in the long run, both the starting pitcher and the bullpen could be used.
Coach Ryu said,’In the beginning, Lee Sang-young was scheduled to start on the 29th ahead of a demonstration game with the 2021 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League Doosan Bears, which will be held at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 26th. Lee Sang-young’s schedule is going to start within this week, so I was thinking about what to do, but when I looked at it, it was a schedule that I had to put in Ham Deok-ju on the 29th. First of all, I have been talking with Ham Deok-ju even there. Lee Sang-young said he is trying to increase the number of pitches by starting after Jung Chan-hun today.
Deok-ju Ham, a native of Wonju, joined Doosan in 2013 and recorded an average ERA of 3.75 with 30 wins, 19 losses, 55 saves and 32 holds in 311 games. In the 2018 Asian Games in Palembang, Jakarta, the Korean baseball team contributed to winning the gold medal. Deok-ju Ham has been playing an active part as a finishing pitcher for Doosan, but since last year he has changed his position as a starting pitcher. Spring Camp was also ready to start pitching.
Director Ryu said, “I thought about it from last night until I came here, but I carefully thought about what it would be like to talk about new attempts after today. Deokju Ham has been watching for a long time, but he is in a situation where he needs to check medical checks and other things. It would be right to look at more data and tell you,” he said. “After training, a hospital schedule is scheduled in the afternoon. I will look at various things and tell you.
Regarding the number of pitches in the SSG and the game on the 29th, he said, “I will tell you tomorrow,” and “yes,” when asked if there is a possibility for a starter for the opening entry. Director Ryu also said,’Neither I nor the player will be crazy. It’s next door, but it’s a new environment. I have time, so I will take a moment to talk. On the other hand, on the 26th, LG made the selection list for the demonstration game with Doosan Lee Chun-woong (center fielder)-Roberto Ramos (first baseman)-Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter)-Lee Hyeong-jong (left fielder)-Chae Eun-sung (right fielder)-Kim Min-seong (third baseman)-Yoo Gang-nam ( Catcher)-Lee Ju-hyung (third baseman)-Oji-hwan (shortstop).
