A fearsome military writer prospect has appeared on the LG Futures team. He returned from active duty, not as a member of the Sangmu Baseball Team or as a social worker, and his potential is exploding as soon as he picks up the bat again. He has a batting average of 0.480, an on-base percentage of 0.581, and a slugging percentage of 0.800 in 11 Futures League games.
The main character of this terrifying record is Lee Joo-hyung. After being discharged from the military in February, he joined the Futures team and started preparing for the actual match, and has been playing steadily since the match against Doosan on April 22nd.스포츠토토
Looking at his recent 5 games alone, he is showing accuracy and slugging power with 9 hits in 15 at-bats, 3 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 home run with a batting average of 6.06. Here is not the end. He struck out just two times while getting five walks. Even though it is an ultra-short small sample, these are numbers that cannot be overlooked. It is even more surprising when you consider that he is now three months old after being discharged.
Just looking at the record, it seems like we need to make a place in the first team right away, but the reality is it is not a game. Lee Joo-hyung’s current position is an outfielder. It is a position he decided on his own after contemplating between the infield and the outfield. However, the LG outfield is saturated right now.
He is a player who was discharged this year, so it is correct that we should think about long-term development rather than rushing to the first team. However, the problem of overlapping positions may become a wall for Lee Joo-hyung right now.
In LG’s outfield, Kim Hyeon-soo, Park Hae-min, Hong Chang-ki, and Moon Seong-joo are holding out, and Austin Dean, who was selected as the outfielder, became the fixed first baseman. In addition, Lee Jae-won, who hit 2 homers in 4 games in the Futures League after recovering from a side injury, is also about to return to the first team. The reality is that it is difficult to give Lee Joo-hyung a chance right now, regardless of the size of his expectations and his training plan.
Still, director Yeom Kyung-yeop is also keeping an eye on Lee Joo-hyeong’s trend. Prior to the game against Changwon NC on the 4th, it was said that if Lee Joo-hyung comes to the 1st team, he has the ability to play an active role as a “joker”. He sees it as a card that can add fluidity to the team while giving him time to adjust to the first team as a pinch runner, pinch hitter, and defensive back.
Director Yeom Gyeong-yeop explained, “If you use it in the first team, you will be able to go out as a big runner and a pinch hitter. The key is whether your feet are as fast as (Shin) Min-jae, but there are many evaluations that that speed comes out. I will prepare steadily for next year’s camp.”
