The Lotte Giants have completed their 2025 spring camp schedule. Starting pitcher candidate Park Jin-young expressed his expectations as he became the MVP of the pitcher position.
A Lotte official announced the results of the spring camp MVP selection along with the results of the game after the Koochun League against the Doosan Bears on the 2nd. Son Ho-young and Jang Doo-sung were selected as fielders, while Park Jin and Chung Hyun-soo were selected as pitchers. Son Ho-young was the main third baseman of Lotte last season. Jang Doo-sung showed his presence as a pinch runner agent. Chung Hyun-soo, in his second year, also proved his growth. 카지노
Park Jin-eun is a candidate for the fifth starting pitcher. In September last year, Park started as a substitute three times and displayed impressive pitching performance. At the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on Sept. 25, Park allowed one run in six innings, and won a showdown between the opposing ace pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong.
Park Jin-jin took the mound in the top of the second inning against Taiwan's World Baseball Classic (WBC) national team in Taipei, Taiwan, on the 13th of last month, and gave up one sacrifice fly, but immediately induced a double play to prevent additional runs, and then scored two scoreless innings, leaving an intense ideal. In a total of four games in Taiwan-Japan (Miyazaki) real game, he showed stable pitching by recording three hits and one run in 7 2/3 innings.
Park Jin-young is a promising player who was selected by Lotte in the second round (13th overall) of the 2024 rookie draft. His strength is his powerful four-seam fastball. His speed is in the mid-140km/h range, but the tip of the ball still stands. Curve and slider are also on the decline.
Lotte's two foreign pitchers (Charlie Barnes, Tucker Davidson) and Park Se-woong will build the first to third starters. Kim Jin-wook, Han Hyun-hee, Na Kyun-an, Park Jin and Park Joon-woo will compete for the remaining two seats. Park Jin-young took a step ahead in the camp competition. Lotte fans also expressed their expectations, saying, "He is not a fifth starter but a fourth-line pitcher."
Park Jin-young said, "During training during the camp, Joo Hyung-kwang and Lee Jae-yul taught me a lot in the balance and pitching mechanisms, which was very helpful. I heard that the pitching seniors also encouraged me a lot, and that also helped me prepare. I will work hard for the rest of the year so that I can continue to show good performance until the season."
