"I hope everyone doesn't get hurt and we can compete in good faith. But I hope I can be a starter."

Choi Won-tae, the starting pitcher with nine wins, became a FA and left for the Samsung Lions for four years and 7 billion won. LG has four solid starters, including Yonny Chirinos, Eliaser Hernandez and Lim Chan-kyu and Son Joo-young, but the fifth starter without Choi Won-tae should be newly selected.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop revealed four candidates. "Song Seung-ki and Lee Ji-gang and Woo Kang-hoon will compete for the starting lineup," Yeom said. "Choi Chae-heung from Samsung will also be included in the lineup."

The person who is paying attention to LG is left-handed Song Seung-ki. After graduating from Yatapo High School, he joined the club as 87th in the second round of the ninth round in 2021, and achieved the triple crown at last year's Sangmu with 11 wins, 4 losses, 2.41 ERA, and 121 strikeouts.

He is ahead as a fifth starter as he steadily pitched as a starter in Sangmu and played 104 ⅔ innings to build up his starting class.

Song Seung-ki, who was selected for the first camp in Arizona and left for the U.S. on the 23rd, said in an interview with reporters, "It's my first overseas training camp since my debut," adding, "When I think about going to overseas camp for the first time, I just thought I should work really hard. I'm a little nervous, but I'll do my best." 스포츠토토

When asked to tell me his strengths, Song Seung-ki said, "I think the direct vertical movement is good, and the tempo is fast, so it's good to go aggressively." He then expressed confidence in the pitch clock, which will be officially implemented this season, saying, "I think it's okay because I've never been caught throwing it at Sangmu last year."

Regarding the competition for the 5th selection, he said, "I hope all the 5th selection candidates will compete in good faith without getting hurt," but added, "I hope (the 5th selection) will be me."

Seeing that Son, who threw as the fifth starter last year, settled down well and rose to the ace level after displaying good pitching in the postseason, Song also had a desire to start. "I saw Joo-young throw a lot in the military last year. It was cool. I wanted to follow him and throw him to look cool like that," Song said.

His role model was Ryu Hyun-jin of the Hanwha Eagles. Song Seung-ki said, "I liked Ryu Hyun-jin. I wanted to resemble him a little bit. I knew how to compete against batters, and I wanted to look very similar in the game management." If Song becomes the fifth starter, he could face Ryu during this season. "It's a picture that I've always imagined. I want to try it," he said.
