The LG Twins will take the lead in three consecutive weekend games against the Kiwoom Heroes with a solid bullpen depth. It is notable that there are many alternative resources to fill the spot while keeping the "principles" and giving the core must-win group a break. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop (58) vowed to build a competitive system naturally, saying, "The season is long."

LG announced its bullpen management plan ahead of the 2026 KBO League away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 3rd. Woo Kang-hoon, Jang Hyun-sik and Yoo Young-chan, who took the mound as relief pitchers in the process of winning the last three consecutive games during the week against the KIA Tigers, will take a rest on the day.

In fact, they took the mound for two consecutive days on the 1st and 2nd to protect their team's victory. The number of pitches itself was not large. Both of them played in two consecutive games, but in particular, Yoo Young-chan threw one pitch in ⅓ innings in the previous game on the 1st and sprayed 21 pitches in the game on the 2nd. All were managed in the early 20 pitches, but were excluded from the game entry on the day according to manager Yeom Kyung-yeop's "no three consecutive throws."

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop's expression is not dark even though three key resources are missing. Rather, he sees it as an opportunity to test the thicker bullpen depth. It is also because the season is long. Manager Yeom said, "There are Kim Young-woo, Ham Deok-ju and Kim Jin-sung (as bullpen pitchers who can go out today). "We will continue to make cards, including Group A and Group B of this season's victory," he stressed.

In particular, considering the resources to return after May, LG's bullpen competition is expected to become fiercer. Coach Yeom said, "If left-hander Kim Yun-sik returns and Lachlan Wells falls out of the rotation, there will be another change in the existing bullpen," adding, "The bullpen depth is definitely better than last season." A natural competitive system has been established," he said, expressing satisfaction.

Yeom also mentioned right-hander Sung Dong-hyun (27), who has been pitching well in three games and seven ⅔ innings in the Futures League. "My ball control has improved beyond recognition. There is no point in throwing 150km if it doesn't work, but now it's caught. "Between the season, the ball will come up naturally," he said, signaling that he will become a new force in the bullpen. Above all, it is interpreted that he gave a high score to only two walks and 10 strikeouts.
