LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (57) mentioned left-hander Choi Chae-heung (30) and right-hander Lee Ji-gang (26) while explaining the reason for Lim Chan-kyu's shutout victory. He gave affectionate advice that he would become a better pitcher if he abandons his obsession with speed like Lim Chan-kyu.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop talked about Lim Chan-kyu, who won a shutout on the 26th, in a meeting with reporters ahead of the Hanwha Eagles and the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League regular season game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 27th.토토사이트

At the match against Hanwha on Monday, Lim won his first shutout game by allowing no runs on two hits, two walks and five strikeouts in nine innings. It was the first time since he joined LG in 2011. As such, it was a shutout victory by a starter, which is rare in the KBO league.

"Im Chan-kyu said he would go out to the ninth inning and challenge to complete a shutout. However, I tried to change my mind if I allowed even a single batter to get on base," Yeom said after introducing his secret story. "I have changed my mind until Lim Chan-kyu has grown into a starting ace in Korea. Nothing has changed technically. From the manager's point of view, I hope he doesn't fight at speed." "Since the value of pitches, such as curves and changeups, is not bad, it is said that if you keep the speed in the early 140s while saving two, the effect of 150km will be shown," he said.

"I can't compel him, but if he throws it, he is more likely to succeed," Yeom said, adding, "I gave him advice, and Lim Chan-kyu changed his mind. This is a very important point. In a way, it would not have been easy for the player himself to change his style of baseball. Eventually, he got better results by focusing on it. I tried to make the changeup sharper even ahead of this season."

Manager Yeom also stressed that Choi and Lee need to change their minds. Choi and Lee are one of the few resources that can be thrown for a long time. At the beginning of the spring camp, Choi and Lee had five starters as candidates, but Song Seung-ki seems to have succeeded in making the fifth starter. After all, for LG, it is very important for Choi and Lee to make the first team entry and grow.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "I hope that Choi and Lee will stop fighting at speed. We need to have clear methods and plans. We cannot succeed if we vaguely just throw the ball hard. "I wish she thought about how to fight in a direction and how to beat others in a strategic way." She said, "I hope you can stop obsessing too much about arresting others."

Lim Chan-kyu also said, "As I did what the coach said, I gained confidence and my speed went up little by little. That's why the coach emphasized it. I think it was more touching because he said that when I couldn't play baseball in the past," and told me about the vivid success stories from his experience.
