During the interview at the time of the draft, I wanted to be a batter. But when I came to the finishing camp, I still felt the same way. What should I do with this passion.
Yoo Hyun-hyun, the second round of the LG Twins’ 2025 Rookie Draft, is the main character. He was named the 10th player in the second round as the first player selected by LG, and he received a down payment of 150 million won, more than his peers in the second round, which made headlines.
The wrap-up camp started from October 23rd, and even though he is a rookie, he came to Icheon where the first team camp is held. He is training with senior players in the first team along with Kim Young-woo (first round), Park Si-won (sixth round), and Kim Jong-woon (seventh round). LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop is watching from the wrap-up camp to nurture fast-paced rookie pitchers.
His main position is third baseman. He posted a batting average of 295, 23 hits, two homers, 13 RBIs and 20 steals in 24 games this year. Pitchers did this to benefit his team. When he was in middle school, he was both a pitcher and an infielder, but when he was in high school, he only saw infielders. Then, he started pitching again as a pitcher at the end of his sophomore year. As a pitcher this year, he pitched nine innings in eight games, with one win and one loss with an ERA of 4.00 and eight strikeouts.
“I’m getting my first pitching training in the closing camp. I’m getting my basic skills training,” he said. “I’ve never been properly trained as a pitcher. When I started as a pitcher, he told me to throw the ball off the mound because the ball was fast,” he said. “I pitched in the bullpen the day before the game and went back to the fielding group to train as a fielder.”
By the way, he throws a variety of pitches, including fastball, slider, curveball, and changeup. How did he learn these pitches? “I learned from my coach when pitching in the bullpen the day before the game.” If he builds up his basic skills, he will become a better pitcher.
However, he has yet to erase his dream of becoming a beast. “I do batting training alone during break time after training,” he said. “When kids (newcomers) go to sauna, they hit.” It’s not something to say but this shows how much affection he has for batters. He seemed to have a strong will to find out whether his batting works in pro baseball. 토토사이트
Although he has potential as a pitcher, the player himself has a passion for batters. Like Kim Gun-hee of Kiwoom Heroes, he seems to be able to test the possibility of second-flow.
