LG Twins side-arm bullpen pitcher Jung Woo-young is in the U.S. for a fresh start. He left for the U.S. at the end of the year and is already preparing for this season.
As it turns out, Jung Woo-young is training at the Charlotte Tread Athletic Center in North Carolina, USA. KIA Tigers Cho Sang-woo, Lim Ki-young and Hanwha Eagles Lee Sang-kyu left for training.
There is also a famous Driveline Baseball Center due to its arrest, but it is one of several training facilities in the United States.
Charlotte Tread Athletic Center is also known for finding the best exercise suitable for players, including improving their speed, pitching mechanism, understanding of data, muscle size and nutritional approach to their diet. KIA sent young players including Yoo Seung-cheol, Kim Ki-hoon, Kim Hyun-soo, Kim Min-jae and Cho Dae-hyun for a month in June last year, and among them, Yoo Seung-cheol and Kim Ki-hoon showed their changes in a short period of time.
For Jung Woo-young, finding the right pitching form for him is also an urgent priority. Jung Woo-young, who became the hold king in 2022 with a maximum of 157km of fast pitching, fell into a slump as he fixed Quick Motion, which was considered a weakness in 2023. He only had 5 wins, 6 losses and 11 holds with an ERA of 4.70 in 2023, and remained 2-1 with 3 holds with an ERA of 4.76 last year. Quick Motion improved in the second half of last year, but his speed still did not exceed 150km.
Although it was not a good season last year, the fourth game of the semi-playoff against KT Wiz was an impressive game for him. Jung Woo-young, who took the mound in the bottom of the 11th inning when the score was 5-5 and the bases loaded with no outs, caught Bae Jeong-dae with a ground ball in front of the second base with his first pitch, caught third baseman Kang Baek-ho with a force-out at home, and struck out pinch-hitter lefty Chun Sung-ho with a 147km pitch. Shim Woo-joon also induced a ground ball by two-seam after the 2S, but failed to catch the ball that came to his side, and the shortstop and the second baseman collided with each other while trying to catch the ball that fell behind, resulting in an infield hit. It was a disappointing end, but the fact that he pitched stably with concentration in a desperate situation deserves high praise for Jung Woo-young's crisis management ability.
Unfortunately, he failed to throw a fastball over 150km in 2022. Jung Woo-young's departure to the U.S. seems to have tried to regain the ball. The maximum speed was 147km during the semi-PO against KT.
Jung Woo-young, who aspires to become a major league player like Ko Woo-seok, needs more than 150 kilometers of balls. However, he will have to postpone his advance to the Major League until after next year, not this year. He could apply for posting and leave after this season, which is his seventh year, but he failed to meet the registration days last year. Last year, the number of registered days for the first team was 137 days, and even if 10 days were added by participating in the WBC in 2023, it was 147 days, which means he could not meet the 150 days that is recognized for one year. This year, he has no choice but to play until next season, and only when he obtains permission from the LG club, he can play until next season, and then he can play overseas through posting after 2026 season. Or he can throw it until the 2027 season and try to play overseas as a free agent.
First of all, it is important to regain the image of hold king Jung Woo-young. Jung will train at ShotRot Tread Athletic Center and will join Arizona where spring camp will be held immediately without coming to Korea. 토토사이트
