[뉴스줌/이영민기자] LG’Temporary Captain’ Jung Joo-hyun approached manager Ryu Ji-hyun and handed a ball when the team victory was confirmed. At first, director Ryu’s expression was astonished, saying,’What is this?’ But soon after, he noticed the inside meaning of the ball Jung Joo-hyun handed him, and was somewhat shy and sneaked the ball into the right pocket of the jumper.
It was the first victory commemoration tool the LG Squad gave to the new coach Ryu.
LG won 9-8 in the evaluation match against the NC held at Changwon NC Park on the 2nd. This was the first actual match against other teams after manager Ryu Ji-hyun, who climbed the command tower in November last year, took the baton. Because of that, it was an unofficial match, but it meant’first victory’.
LG’s captain is Kim Hyun-soo, but he is still training at Icheon Champions Park in order to adjust his condition. So Jung Joo-hyun, who was in charge of the’temporary captain’, took over.
This scene is also part of LG’s team atmosphere. Director Ryu Ji-hyun, who brought LG’s exciting baseball in 1994, is a’One Clubman’ wearing only the Twins uniform so far. He has been with the players for a long time as a coach, and he was elected to the new command tower in November last year. Since then, I have been constantly communicating with the players. It was decided by Ryu through consultation with the players that LG excluded a large number of first-team main players on their southern expedition this week. It is a dimension to give young players a chance as well as consideration to be able to adjust their condition as much as possible in time for the opening.
Lee Jung-yong, who started 9-8 on this day and scored 3K with 1 inning zero goal, said, “It’s a practice game, but the team wins and I feel good. Congratulations to the coach’s first unofficial win. I finished the game and I felt even more and more comfortable.” “It’s good,” he said congratulations. He added, “In the future (regular season, etc.) you will win more, so you won’t have much meaning, but congratulations on a pleasant victory in the first game.”
The command tower left victory and was moved by the will of the players. As both LG and NC were their first real matches, they went out without excluding all of the main players. LG’s third-year professional pitcher Lim Jun-hyung was dragged away with five runs in the second inning, but continued pursuing with 3-5 and 4-7. In the end, LG, who tied the 7-7 in the 7th inning, lost one point in the 7th, but Minchang Choi’s ties in the early 8th inning broke out. In the ninth inning, he won 9-8 thanks to Kim Ho-eun’s hit and Shin Min-jae’s timely hit in the first base.
Manager Ryu Ji-hyun rejoiced, “I scored 5 runs at the beginning of the game, but thanks to both the pitcher and the fielder faithfully fulfilling their duties, we made a reversal in the end. I want to put more meaning in showing LG’s direction in the future.” He then said, “I want to compliment our promising player for his intensive play without neglecting one at-bat.”
On this day, LG beaten Kim Ho-eun and Kim Jae-sung multi-hits (more than two hits in one game). In addition, young players such as Lee Ju-hyung, Lee Jae-won, and Koo Bon-hyuk, as well as Lee Young-bin, who is regarded as the’future of the LG infield’ after joining the 7th position in the second round of LG in 2021, selected pleasant hits.
