LG Yeom Kyung-yeop Praises Team’s Resilience Amid Two Consecutive Victorious Starts
LG Twins outfielder Yeom Kyung-yeop has expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, drawing similarities between their current run and the successful 2023 championship season.
Speaking to reporters before a game against the Samsung Lions at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 15th, Yeom remarked, “It feels similar to the 2023 championship.”
Yeom led the LG Twins to victory in the 2023 Korean Series, marking the team’s first win in 29 years since 1994. However, the team fell short in their bid for two consecutive titles last year, losing to Samsung in the playoffs.
The outfielder attributed the team’s struggling performance last year to the lack of preparation among young players following their championship win in 2023. “After winning the championship, young players were centered on the generation (in the 2024 season), and they were struggling because they were less ready,” said Yeom.
As of the 14th, LG sits atop the league with a 14-3 record, placing them four games ahead of the second-place SSG Randers. This has contributed to the team’s leading position in the race for first place.
Yeom further noted that the team’s success this season can be attributed to the improved play of backup players like Song Chan and Koo Bon-hyuk. “It is important for these players to have continuous continuity,” he said, emphasizing the importance of maintaining high performance levels.
In addition to highlighting the significance of coaches in guiding players, Yeom recognized the value of perseverance. “The role of the coaches is so important,” he said, emphasizing the need for open communication and continuous improvement among players.
LG Twins made some adjustments to their roster, lowering Kim Kang-ryul and Moon Jung-bin in the first group and registering Bae Jae-joon and Lee Young-bin. Yeom explained the move by stating that Kim Kang-ryul had been struggling with allergies and high heat symptoms, requiringhim to step out of the first group.
