(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kang Yun -sik) “The bullpen is much better.”
Lotte Pilseungjo is lively. Thanks to Hong Min -ki (24). It is equipped with a sharp control in a fastball that is over 150 kilometers per hour. Lotte, which is in the fierce competition, has no choice but to be ‘bok’. The command tower also shows satisfaction with the presence of Hong Min -ki.
Lotte is cruising towards autumn baseball in eight years. Although LG finished the first series in the second half with 1 win and 2 losses, it still remains in third place. Kiwoom is coming back in the upcoming Kiwoom and three consecutive weeks.
The key to the top fighting ‘core’ is also a bullpen. As the day is hot, it is time for all 10 to be devoted to the bullpen, especially the management of Pilseungjo. Lotte is pointed out as a weakness compared to this season. Therefore, more thorough management is needed.
Simple but the best bullpen management is also ‘sheep’. The more reliable resources are, the more naturally the burden of the winning tide is reduced. Lotte formed Pil Seung -jo with Choi Jun -yong, Jung Chul -won and Kim Won -joong until the first half. As a tight game, these stamina burden grew.
At this time, Hong Min -ki appeared like a comet. The average fast speed restraint this season is 150.1 km / h. Literally spray fastballs. Even left hand. But even the control. If you throw it, the fast ball will be inserted into the strike zone. I am proving my skills. As a result, Kim Tae -hyung is also putting Hong Min -ki as a Pil Seung -jo.
To date, he has made 12 games and threw 22.1 innings and recorded two holds and an average ERA of 1.21. Kim is also satisfactory. “It’s much better to run a bullpen,” he said. In fact, as Hong Min -ki joined the newly, there was a condition in which Choi Jun -yong and Jung Chul -won, who were existing, were able to take a break.
Kim was also satisfied with Hong Min -ki’s improved control. Kim said, “Until last year, the control was not good, so I couldn’t get to the first group.”
The remaining game is now decreasing. The ranking competition is inevitable. In the midst of all the resources, there was a number of Pil Seung -jo -in -law. Hong Min -ki is keeping the team’s mound by doing his job. Lotte, which is aiming for the second place, has gained more momentum. skywalker@sportsseoul.com
