Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's affection for the LG Twins' left-handed starting pitcher Son Joo-young is immense. Manager Yeom said, "I believe Son's potential is unprecedented. Like Ryu Hyun-jin (38, Hanwha Eagles), I am confident that I can make it to the Major League.스포츠토토
After graduating from Kyungnam High School, Son was named the second runner-up in the second round in 2017. He also had to serve in the military, and had a long hiatus in the first team. However, he finally broke the egg last year, recording 9 wins, 10 losses and 1 hold with an ERA of 3.79 in 28 games.
With four-seam fastballs in the 150-km range, he can display sliders, change-ups and curves. Notably, Yeom Kyung-yeop said that the 2,500-2,600 RPM works well not only in the KBO but also in the Major League. Son, who has yet to win 10 full-time games, views that he can challenge himself in the Major League by having better experiences through pitching that puts his strength ahead of him, and installing folk balls.
Son was sluggish in the third ⅔ of the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on Saturday, allowing seven hits, seven strikeouts, four outs and five runs (three earned runs). The match against the Incheon SSG Landers on Sunday had to be forced to leave the mound due to rain after allowing one hit and five strikeouts during three innings. The game against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on Sunday local time saw the team lose by allowing six runs, six hits, two strikeouts, three walks and six runs during three innings. With the start of the season, the team has seen its three-game winning streak completely end.
"I also thought about getting off faster. Ju-yeong is still growing. I can do better." He is in his second year as a full-time starter. He is different from (Im) Chan-gyu. "I am not capable of throwing more completely after watching the corner, but as I try to make it perfect, I get more walks. The pitching coach must have clearly communicated to me."
Son is a power figure. Instead, Son is not a sophisticated style in command. Yeom Kyung-yeop believes that once he throws the ball using his strengths, and when he gets older and loses strength, he can add more pitches or pay more attention to the command. Im Chan-gyu, who is already in his 30s, does not have as strong a ball power as Son. Instead, he is displaying stellar performance by diversifying and commanding pitches. Of course, if Son Joo-young tries to throw like Lim Chan-kyu, he shouldn't.
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "Joo Young needs to improve further. He has strong fastballs and top RPM in the Major League, but he keeps playing with his hands. He needs to make the most of his strengths. If he improves the completeness of folk balls, he will become a very powerful pitcher."
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop even hoped that Son will work harder to become the best player in the KBO league and go all the way to the Major League. "Joo-young can fully challenge himself in the Major League. All he has to do is make a fork ball. Hyun-jin's success in the U.S. is attributable to change-ups. If he properly plays off-speed, Joo-young can go to the Major League and succeed like Hyun-jin. He has curves and good sliders. He is No. 1 in RPM in Korea. I don't lie about numbers. I believe he has the ability to fight as well as he did in his heyday in the U.S. with enough experience," he said.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop is a leader who has quite good intuition about players. There is a reason why he evaluates Son Joo-young this much. I sincerely hope Son Joo-young does well. He is a player who can take time and watch with interest.
