LG Director Yeom Kyung-yeop "Kim Ha-seong is the Most Important this Year... Go Woo-seok is Growing More and More"



A special relationship with San Diego

To LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, the San Diego Padres of the American Professional Baseball Major League are a very special team.

Kim Ha-seong, who formed a relationship with coach and player during his time with Kiwoom Heroes, is playing as the starting shortstop, and Ko Woo-seok, who played as LG's closer until last year, wore a San Diego uniform this year.

Coach Yeom also received three months of coaching training in San Diego when he was a ‘wild man’ in 2021.

Coach Yeom, who met ahead of the 2024 MLB Seoul Series friendly match against San Diego at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 18th, said, "The first MLB opening game (Los Angeles Dodgers-San Diego on March 20-21) will be held in Korea, and before that, we will also attend a big event.

“I’m participating,” he said with a refreshed expression, “I hope the Dodgers and San Diego players will make good memories in Korea.

It’s a good opportunity for us too.”

When I think of this personal connection, today’s warm-up match against San Diego becomes even more special.

Director Yeom said with a smile, "Personally, I was treated well and trained in San Diego during a really difficult time.

I made various plans, including an invitation to a meal, to repay the favor, but the schedule in San Diego was tight.

I'm waiting for a call"

Among the players wearing the San Diego uniform, seeing the familiar Kim Ha-seong and Ko Woo-seok creates a feeling of affection.

Kim Ha-seong, who calls Coach Yeom “the most memorable gift,” entered the MLB in 2021 and established himself as an infielder that the big leagues are paying attention to.

At the end of this season, Ha-seong Kim will qualify as a free agent (FA).

Coach Yeom said, "This season could be the most important season in Kim Ha-seong's life," and expected, "If he shows what he has prepared rather than trying to do better, good results will come out at the end of this season."

He cheered on Go Woo-seok, who is competing within the team for a soft landing in the big league, saying, "Wooseok is a player who is growing. Next year will be better than this year."

Although he is playing a 'friendly game' with a club he has a special relationship with, the 'desire to win' is also in the heart of Coach Yeom, who achieved the combined championship in the Korean Professional Baseball League last year.

Coach Yeom announced, “We will start the game with elite members,” and added, “We are preparing for the regular season, so we may use strategies (such as bunts).”

Moon Bo-kyung, who played against San Diego as a member of the Korean baseball team the day before, will play for LG on this day.

LG has Hae-min Park (center fielder), Chang-ki Hong (right fielder), Hyun-soo Kim (designated hitter), Austin Dean (first baseman), Ji-hwan Oh (shortstop), Bo-kyung Moon (third baseman), Won Park (catcher), Seong-ju Moon (left fielder), and Min-jae Shin (second baseman).

The starting lineup was drawn up with leading players.

The starting pitcher is Lim Chan-gyu.

San Diego also has a number of key players starting, including Ha-seong Kim (shortstop), Fernando Tatis Jr. (right fielder), Manny Machado (designated hitter), and Sander Bohartz (second baseman).

Dylan Seeds, who was recently acquired through a trade, took the mound as a starting pitcher today and reported his transfer to San Diego.
