Kim Jin-sung (40), the oldest member of the LG Twins, revealed the reason for training in Korea for the second consecutive year.온라인바카라
Kim had been excluded from the camp due to his abdominal pain in the 2023 Korean Series. He also did not board a flight to the U.S. this year. He will train at Icheon Champions Park, a training site for the second tier team.
Unlike last year, he did not go to the Arizona spring camp because of his injury. It was Kim Jin-sung's intention. The club conveyed its thoughts, and the club accepted it.
In addition to fatigue caused by long-distance travel, there are many things that need to be re-created, such as jet lag. There will be this burden.
Kim Jin-sung recently talked about the exact reason through the club's YouTube channel 'LGTWINSTV' (El Tube).
"(If I do it in Icheon), I can do whatever I want. I want to give some tension to myself," he said. "Because younger players are watching, I have to do more and play more. I also see young players' energy. Don't you think I exercise really hard? When I see myself like that even though I am resting after doing everything I have to do, I feel nervous that I should do more. I have no choice but to maintain that kind of tension. I like that."
There is a 20-year age gap, but there are many things to learn from young players. "If my juniors are doing good sports, I go and ask them. There is no age before learning," he said. "The environment is worse and colder than that of Arizona, but I can't help but get nervous when I see the boys (second-tier players) trying to survive there."
Kim already proved himself to be able to build up his physical condition in Korea. In last year's regular season, he pitched in 71 games, the most among his team, and posted an ERA of 3.97 with three wins, three losses and one save and 27 holds in 70 ⅓ innings.
Unlike in 2023, LG's bullpen collapsed. Kim Jin-seong survived this situation. Without Kim Jin-seong, LG would not have been able to rank third in the regular season. We look forward to seeing his fighting spirit this year as well.
