[스포츠서울 윤세호기자] Rather than drawing the future in a hurry, he emphasized looking back on the past and taking steps carefully. LG manager Ryu Ji-hyun explained the plan for infielder Lee Young-bin (19), the only rookie to join the 1st Army camp.
Lee Young-bin was nominated as 7th in the first round of the 2021 rookie draft. At the time of the draft, the LG club drew a blueprint for Lee Young-bin to lead the future infield by constantly watching Lee Young-bin, who plays an active part as a shortstop in the third year of the three AD. Lee Young-bin entered the Icheon Champions Park early with his motives and digested the program organized by the LG club. And starting from the 1st of next month, we will start camping with the seniors of the 1st Army.
Like other clubs, LG is also cautious about rookies participating in the first-team camp. Amateurs and professionals differ greatly from the intensity of their training. In the case of rookies, it is highly likely that they will face injuries due to overface. However, the LG club included Lee Young-bin on the first-team camp list because Lee Young-bin had no physical problems and had the skills to play in the first team from the first year of the joining.
The position is still undecided. LG director Ryu Ji-hyun said that as Lee Young-bin’s potential is outstanding, he will watch more thoroughly and find the best position. Manager Ryu said, “In the case of our team, we have delivered the list of first-team camps to the players at the end of November. The same was the case this time. I saw rookies training in Icheon and was impressed with Lee Young-bin. I was particularly impressed with the fast learning ability.
He continued, “I saw him as a shortstop at the time of his nomination, and he has the talent to see shortstop sufficiently. But when I talked with Youngbin, he said that he had various positions when he was an amateur. He started playing baseball in middle school and went to the outfield every grade and experienced both second, third, and shortstop. I haven’t been in one position consistently for more than a year. Even shortstop was all I saw in high school,” he said, looking back on the path Lee Young-bin walked as an amateur.

Director Ryu emphasized that this camp will be an important time for both Lee Young-bin and LG. He said, “As we are a player with a fast learning ability, I wonder if we should wear clothes that suit Youngbin. Through this camp, we will look for the most suitable position considering the situation of our team and the talent of Lee Young-bin.”
Depending on the situation, you can compete for second baseman. Director Ryu said, “Second base is open to all possibilities. Joo-hyun Jung, Min-jae Shin, Ju-hyung Lee, Joo-sung Kim, Sang-ho Lee, and Young-bin Lee could also be included in the second baseman competition. Opening the possibility, I will find the second baseman at the start.”
Meanwhile, Lee Young-bin and other rookies prepare for the first season in the 2nd or rehabilitation army. The first nominee Kang Hyo-jong trains in the Jamsil rehabilitation group according to the program, and the second round nominee Kim Jin-soo, the third round nominee Jeon Hee, the fifth round no. Round 4 nomination Lee In-eum, Round 6 nomination Kim Ji-yong, 8 round Nomination Kim Dae-hyun, and 9 round Nomination Song Seung-gi were also included in the Jamsil Rehabilitation Camp list.
