“I’m going to throw it silently and hard.”
LG Twins pitcher Kim Jin-sung met with reporters ahead of the second game of the weekend’s three consecutive games against the Lotte Giants of the “2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League” at Munsu Baseball Stadium in Ulsan on the 3rd.
Kim joined the first team entry a day ago. After being excluded from the first team entry on April 23, he returned home after just 10 days. “I feel like I have no choice but to throw hard,” Kim said in front of reporters.
Kim Jin-sung was recently excluded from the entry list for the first team due to social media scandal. The reason was that he expressed strong dissatisfaction with the club by posting a post on his SNS account on April 22, saying, “I must have been XX, who gave up all my life.” He was also excluded from the entry for the first team due to the team’s own disciplinary action ahead of the match against the Lotte Giants on April 23, a day later.
Kim Jin-sung, who had a time for self-reflection, expressed his apology to the club and fans through the agency on the 27th of last month. “I’m sorry for causing a lot of concern to the club and fans with my last post on SNS,” he said, asking for forgiveness from his team member. 메이저놀이터
Kim Jin-seong is indispensable to the LG bullpen. Before being disciplined by the club itself, Kim was playing in 47 games this year, with one win and two losses, one hold and one save, and an earned run average of 3.89 innings. He played in the most games in his team and won the most holds. He is the center of the bullpen. Kim Jin-seong apologized for causing various controversies as a key player of his team. “I apologize to all staff of the LG Twins for causing controversy and controversy. I apologize to the manager, the coaching staff, and the club staff. It was not a good news article, but a controversy over the scandal, so I apologize for that and reflect on myself,” he said.
Kim Jin-seong, who should leave the past behind and play on the mound again. Only when Kim Jin-seong plays his part can LG, the defending champion, also gain more strength. “All I have to do is throw silently and diligently. There are only a few games left, but I will do my best there,” he said.
“I talked to (Kim Jin-seong) about it,” LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said in a call-up with Kim Jin-seong on the previous day (against the Ulsan Lotte Giants on Sunday). He apologized to all the players, and even when he arrived in Ulsan, he briefly talked to me one-on-one. “(Kim) Jin-seong will be a great nourishment to himself as he lives this incident. I fully understand.” As a senior, I told him what Jin-seong has not experienced. He will fully realize what he has never experienced. “A person grows through experience,” he said. “He will use it when situations arise. He has always been a winning team, so he will step up in a winning team situation.” It is time for Kim to repay LG once again.
Meanwhile, Kim Jin-seong took the mound as relief pitcher for the game. He took the mound as relief pitcher with two outs and a third base in the bottom of the seventh inning when the game was tight at 3 to 3. Later, he was hit by an RBI double by Ko Seung-min, his first batter. Jeon Joon-woo, the follow-up hitter, handled the game with a fly ball to the right field. He started the game with a hard time by losing a runner who succeeded him, but Kim Jin-seong has a lot to do in the future.
