‘Cold sore → postponement’ Plutko, confirmed corona… Director Yeom Gyeong-yeop “I think my return will be delayed” [Jamsil talk talk]
LG Twins coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop said in an interview before the game with the Kiwoom Heroes of the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 1st, We talked about Adam Plutko.
Plutko, who missed one start due to a cold, was eventually diagnosed with Corona 19. Director Yeom Kyung-yeop said, “They say Plutko has corona. He seems to have to delay his comeback altogether. It’s not easy to recover until tomorrow. The rest period is getting longer, so it seems safe to return after pitching once. In the end, he can be tested again and only come back negative,” he explained.
Fortunately, thanks to the recruitment of Choi Won-tae through a trade, it is not expected that there will be a big gap in the starting rotation. Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, “As I said before, Choi Won-tae has a tremendous impact on the team. The stability of the team has become much higher,” he said, emphasizing the effect of recruiting Choi Won-tae.
Choi Won-tae started against Doosan on the 30th of last month and won a no-run victory with 2 hits and 5 strikeouts in 6 innings. Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, “The pitching in the last pitch was good. I think I fixed the arm movement a little better than before. Pitches have also become more diverse with fastballs, two-seams, sliders, cutters, changeups, and curveballs. However, since he is a player who needs to be managed, he plans not to exceed 100 pitches in the future.”
On this day, LG Hong Chang-ki (right fielder) – Moon Seong-joo (left fielder) – Moon Bo-gyeong (3rd baseman) – Austin Dean (1st baseman) – Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop) – Lee Jae-won (designated hitter) – Park Dong-won (catcher) – Park Hae-min (center fielder) – Son Ho-young (2) baseman) formed the starting lineup. The starting pitcher is Lim Chan-gyu.
