"It's our fault. I felt again that baseball was not easy."

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (58) thoroughly covered Jung Woo-young (27), who collapsed the previous day (22nd) due to ball control difficulties.

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said ahead of the 2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League exhibition game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd, "Jung Woo-young was in a bit of a hurry. I should have practiced more, but I posted it because I wanted to write it quickly," he said, reflecting quickly.

On the previous day, Jung Woo-young took the mound in the bottom of the ninth inning with LG leading 14-6 against the Daegu Samsung Lions and collapsed with one hit and three outs (two walks) and four runs in 0 innings without striking out.

It looked like he couldn't control it at all. Jung Woo-young hit leadoff hitter Shim Jae-hoon in two pitches and threw six consecutive balls with a straight walk to Soo-ho. To make matters worse, he loaded the bases with no outs due to a defensive error and even allowed Jeon Byung-woo to lose a point by walking straight. Since then, Jang Hyun-sik has managed to prevent the defeat.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "I was so happy during practice that I let him go. But I don't think I've learned it yet. When I went up to the mound, I forgot to change it and the bad appearance in the past came out. He explained that he was trying to do well, but he must have been embarrassed to see a bad appearance.

Despite the continued sluggishness, he continues training with the first team. This means that they will take care of the process of changing themselves.

Coach Yeom said, "(Jung) Woo-young practices here. The coaches are working hard together. At the start of the season, I go down (to the second team) and practice for about a month, make sure, and then go into practice. I think it will come up much faster to do so," he said of his future plans.

"Yesterday's match ended yesterday. "This was also an experience for me and the coaching staff. (Jung) Woo-young has experience and the hold king is a player, so I thought I would find him quickly if I had practiced this much, and I wanted to help him quickly through real games."

"But I realized once again that baseball is not easy. We were greedy and only disappointed and ruined our image. It was better not to post it than this. It's not Woo Young's fault at all. "It's our fault that we posted while we were not ready yet," he stressed again.
