Kiwoom Heroes should make this season a season where they forget the "humiliating" the last day when they were at the bottom for two consecutive years.먹튀검증
Of course, the outlook is not so bright. While objective power has been losing ground to other teams, fielder Kim Hye-sung and bullpen pitcher Jo Sang-woo have left the team, leaving the team in negative territory. In addition, Furado and Heyesus, who are recognized as the strongest two-punch players in the league, are also absent.
However, Cho's vacancy is likely to be filled by a "surprise star." The main character is Lee Kang-joon, a sidearm who joined after being discharged from military service. Naturally, he was listed in the Arizona Spring camp.
He became a sensation last year. He bombed the Futures League with a must-winner in Sangmu, and made headlines by throwing a whopping 158 kilometers of fastballs at the Futures All-Star Game. As the sidearm pitcher was 158 kilometers long, fans who were even interested in baseball couldn't help but find who Lee Kang-joon was. He joined KT Wiz and started his professional career, went to Lotte Giants in a trade, and was named a compensation player for Han Hyun-hee. Kiwoom believed in Lee's potential and made a bold investment even though he could not use it for nearly two years after he went to Sangmu. Now it is time to bear the fruits.
"Who would take you to the spring camp if you spray 158 kilometers?" Lee said with a big smile. "I went to the first team camp at KT and Lotte. But they were all domestic training due to COVID-19. It's my first time training abroad. I feel so great. I'm so excited because it's my first camp after being discharged from the military."
Reflecting on the issue of last year's All-Star Game, Lee Kang-joon said, "I felt the reaction. The fans supported me a lot and interviewed me a lot," adding, "It was a hard memory to forget."
However, from now on, it is a war. There is no way that a fastball can survive in the first team. Lee said, "My arm was in bad shape at the end of last year. I invested a lot of time in recovery and reinforcement. Fortunately, I am in good shape now. There is no pain at all. My condition is very good." Lee Kang-joon also participated in training for the Premier 12 national team, but he dropped out due to an elbow injury. "It was a shame, but the opportunity could come in the future. I didn't think about elimination at that time, but just focused on recovering my elbow," he said sternly.
Kang-joon gave an unexpected answer to the fastball, which became a hot topic of conversation, saying, "Honestly, I don't try to increase my speed." He continued, "I really don't have any greed. As I do sports that I can do, my speed increases. I only focused on throwing strikes." When asked to introduce the secret, he said, "I changed the direction. I used to use my body big for fast throwing before, but Sangmu only focused on throwing into the home plate and reduced body use. That's why I can control my ball, and I also gain speed." He also told the behind-the-scenes story.
"Honestly, I think we have a great opportunity. However, our team is not a team with poor pitching capabilities. As it is our first camp at Kiwoom, we could get injured again due to greed," Lee said. "As a professional player, I naturally have greed. However, greed is not enough. I have no intention of getting the job done. I have no intention of getting the job right away. I have been playing baseball just thinking about today's and tomorrow's games. I will do the same this season."
