Two pitchers to carry the defending champion NC, Dong-wook Lee’s expectations Changwon Freetalk

[엑스포츠뉴스 창원, 조은혜 기자] NC Dinos Wes Parsons and Song Myung-ki appear at the same time in the first match of the demonstration match.

On the 21st, the NC will play a demonstration game in the 2021 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League with SSG Landers at Changwon NC Park. As the game was canceled due to rain the previous day, Parsons and Song Myung-ki, who were scheduled to start on the 20th, are scheduled to play 3 innings and 4 innings, respectively.

Right-handed three-quarter pitcher Parsons is the new face to sign with NC for a total of $600,000 ahead of this season. In the practice game, he scored two runs out against Doosan on the 6th and two runs on 3 innings against Lotte on the 13th.

Director Dong-wook Lee, who barely watched the Parsons, said,’It seems that the pitching form has changed to a better one. The two-centered fastball is thrown better, and the slider, which was the original advantage, seems to have improved angles. I don’t know how stamina will look because I couldn’t play the season last year, but there are no other big problems. He said that only adaptation to Korean baseball, hitters and culture remains.

When asked about Song Myung-ki, coach Lee Dong-wook said, “I want to talk to you after watching the game today,” but “I’m looking forward to it too.” He came well prepared for what he had to do during the winter. The preparation will also come as a result. In the meantime, I thought that the process of preparation was good.

Song Myeong-gi, who has been in its third year this year, started starting from the middle and late last season, and even scored 9 wins (3 losses) and recorded an average ERA of 3.70. In the Korean Series, he played 2 games and won the first Korean Series in the 2000s with 5 innings as a starting point, and even when he came out as a salvation, he recorded a hold with 1 innings free and helped to win the team. This year, as the season started as a starter, another goal was to show the value as a full-time starter.

On the other hand, NC’s on the same day were Park Min-woo (second baseman)-Lee Myung-ki (designated hitter)-Na Seong-beom (right fielder)-Yang Eui-ji (catcher)-Altair (center fielder)-Kang Jin-seong (first baseman)-Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder)-Park Jun-young (third baseman) ~Kim Chan-hyung (shortstop), in the order of the closest to the best lineup. Roh Jin-hyuk’s waist and Park Seok-min’s neck weren’t good, so they were excluded from the selection this day.
