LG's catcher lineup for this season has been outlined. They are mainstay Park Dong-won and backup Lee Ju-heon. "No matter who else comes to LG, our team's second catcher is Lee Ju-heon," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said.온라인바카라

LG is agonizing over whether to select a backup catcher. Huh Do-hwan, who had been supporting Park Dong-won's main catcher until last season, was released after the end of the season, and Kim Bum-suk, who was trying to raise him as a future catcher, was immediately excluded from the team's roster due to injury and sluggish performance. Except for Park, there is no catcher who can be used in the first team right now.

LG pursued a trade deal. It seems that LG attempted to supplement catcher's resources through trade with other teams until last month's Okinawa spring camp. Eventually, the team has to supply backup catcher by itself. "There is no trade," LG General Manager Cha Myung-seok said on Wednesday.

At the same time, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop declared Lee Ju-heon as his backup catcher. Lee Ju-heon is a promising catcher who has appeared in LG like a comet. Lee Ju-heon, who received the second and third round pick in the 2022 draft, served in the military as an active player immediately after joining LG. Immediately after his discharge from the military, he made his debut in the first division in September last year and recorded four hits in six at-bats, displaying some talent in batting. Defensively, he was also praised as "necessary to grow." Lee Ju-heon emerged as a rising star of LG by dramatically joining the fall baseball entry that year.

Lee made an impression after going through the closing camp and the spring camp. Coach Yeom mentioned Lee as one of the young players he will develop by giving many chances for this season.

Lee has played as catcher in all four exhibition games that began on Saturday. Still, he has a lot of inexperience. He has no hits in five at-bats, and is still unstable defensively. Yeom plans to elevate Lee's sense of practice to the maximum this season.

At this exhibition game, Lee is gaining experience by working with not only starting pitchers such as Elijah Hernandez and Song Seung-ki but also bullpen pitchers such as Choi Chae-heung and Woo Kang-hoon. It is a process to make sure that he becomes the successor of Park Dong-won.

LG wanted to reinforce the backup catcher that can be used immediately from outside because it needs to prepare for an emergency that could happen this season right away.

Coach Yeom asserted before the exhibition game against Lotte on the 11th, "Our direction this season is to raise Lee Joo-heon. We are firm." "It is true that we are looking into (backup catchers) in various ways," manager Yeom said, but stressed, "If Park Dong-won gets injured and leaves for a month or two, he is thinking of a third catcher because it is difficult for Lee Joo-heon to stand alone, but no other catcher comes and pushes Lee Joo-heon. No matter who comes, LG's second catcher is Lee Joo-heon."
