LG Twins rookie Junsung Park (19) entered the 2026 spring camp with spirit.
Junsung Park met with reporters at Incheon International Airport before leaving the 2026 LG Spring Camp on the 22nd and said, "There are a lot of seniors, and since I'm a rookie, I think I should adapt as soon as possible."
This year, LG, led by head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, will try to win its second consecutive Korean Series title. The second consecutive Korean Series is a difficult task to see in modern baseball as Doosan Bears are the last in the 2015-2016 season.
Two rookies were included in the spring camp as the best members. One of them is Junsung Park, who was nominated by LG as the 18th overall in the second round of the 2026 KBO Rookie Draft after graduating from Chukhyun Elementary School, Sangcheon Middle School, and Incheon High School.
Junsung Park, who is 184 centimeters tall and weighs 83 kilograms based on the Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA), is a left-hander who shows excellent control and strength in game management. Last year, he played the ace role of Incheon High School with 4 wins and 1 loss with a 1.02 ERA, 73 strikeouts in 62 innings, and 0.79 WHIP (on-base allowance per inning).
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop picked Junsung Park as a member who will go to spring camp with Yang Woo-jin and Kim Dong-hyun after winning last year. In response, the Junsung Park said, "I really appreciated what the director said. I thought I should work harder because you liked me. "There are advantages of the left-hander, and I think he liked his confidence and control on the mound," he said.
He said, "There are many things I want to learn in the camp. I think you sent me to compete with young brothers, but I will try to win while learning a lot because I have to beat my brothers to go higher," he said with strength.
LG rookies participating in the spring camp have a good role model. Kim Young-woo (20), who never went to the second division from the opening entry to the Korean Series due to favorable reviews since last year's spring camp, is the main character. Kim Dong-hyun (21), who shows Junsung Park and rapid growth, which are strong in fast ball control, also has sufficient potential.
The Junsung Park said, "I think (Kim) Young-woo has a very good attitude toward baseball. I haven't talked about it yet, but I'm trying to learn a lot of that. (Kim) Dong-hyun is also a really cool brother. I'm a weight training partner, so I always work out together, and it tells me a lot. Dong-hyun explained, "Even after weight training, I do a lot of reinforcement training or other exercises every day."
He is also impressive as a rookie. Junsung Park said, "I throw up to 146km/h fastballs, changeups, sliders, and curves. "I'm most confident in change-ups," he said. "I think I have to show a controlled and stable pitching to play quickly in the first team. "First of all, when I go to the spring camp, I will show my seniors not to be intimidated," he said.
