After returning home, I will maintain this sense in the recovery process and prepare for the season."

Will Shin Young-woo (NC Dinos), the "Special Rookie of the Dinosaur Corps," return healthy and quickly to face the opening of the regular league normally.온라인카지노

At the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Center in Taiwan on Thursday, Shin staged a live pitching performance in which he placed the batter at bat before a practice game between the NC Dinosaurs and the CPBL Central Brothers took place. He threw a total of 30 pitches, and the maximum speed of his fastball was measured up to 149 kilometers.

This off-season, Shin was one of the NC pitchers who showed rapid growth. After being called by NC as the fourth player in the first round in 2023, he made his debut in the first division last year and had a loss of 10.61 ERA in four games (9.1 innings), but made great strides through "study abroad in Australia" that took place after the season.

Shin Young-woo, wearing a Perth hit uniform, played in seven games (31.1 innings) in the Australian Baseball League (ABL) and posted a report card of 2-1 with a 3.45 ERA. Kim Gun-tae, coach of the NC D team (Yook Sung-gun), who accompanied him, said, "The season has not begun, so it is premature, but Shin Young-woo's skills have improved in Australia. He had a lot of experience and experience, and I think he has more of his own as he threw it without any pressure."

He has also gained confidence. "From the end of last year's Futures League regular season, I felt that I was achieving my own rhythm and balance. I tried to continue this trend through exchange matches with the Softbank Hawks and KBO Fall League (after the season). I tried to trust mine even when I went to Australia, but I got good results. This gives me confidence in mine," Shin said with a bright smile.

He continued, "I often won when I was strong against foreign players. I gained a lot of confidence in that area. As I played with confidence in balance and rhythm, I naturally improved my ball control. I had good results in Australia as well, so I thought it was the right path for me. I will get better," he said. "I think this season is an opportunity. I thought I should do well every year, but this time is more important. I learned and felt a lot this winter. I think these things will come out better when I go into the season. I will do better this year with more responsibility."

Not all good things happened. Due to inflammation in his right elbow, he got on the plane to Korea earlier than scheduled. Before leaving for Taiwan, where the second CAMP 2 (NC Spring Camp) is held, he tried to boost his physical condition at Changwon NC Park and Masan Baseball Stadium, but his schedule was twisted due to unexpected cold weather.

Still, the good thing is that Shin Young-woo finished his live pitching without pain on the day. "I took the mound against a batter for the first time in a long time, and the main mound and bullpen felt different, so I threw the ball with an emphasis on adapting myself," he said through the club. "I tried to maintain the good feeling that I had from Australia, and I was satisfied with the pitching as I had a good sense from the bullpen pitching before coming to Taiwan," he said. "I will prepare for the season by maintaining this sense well during the recovery process after returning home."

The exhibition game and the opening of the season are slowly approaching, but NC's starting team is still full of question marks. Foreign pitchers Riley Thompson and Logan Allen exist, but Shin Min-hyuk, who has extensive experience in starting, pitched live on the same day as Shin Young-woo without playing in Taiwan. Lee Jae-hak, who suffered an inflammation injury in his right elbow in the first CAMP 2 in Tucson, Arizona, is recovering, and Lee Yong-chan, who is trying to switch to a starter for the first time in five years, is also expected to need some adaptation.

Against this backdrop, NC, which ranked ninth (61 wins, 2 draws and 81 losses) last year, desperately needs Shin's performance to rebound this season. Will Shin be able to quickly enhance his sense of play through exhibition games to welcome the opening of the regular season.

Meanwhile, Shin Min-hyuk and Kim Tae-kyung, who underwent surgery to remove bone fragments in their right elbow last year, also held a live pitching on the same day. First, Shin threw 33 pitches, and posted a maximum speed of 142 kilometers per hour on a fastball. "It was nice to be able to pitch without pain. I feel more confident because I don't feel pressured even if I throw the ball strongly," he said. "I feel like I am doing well because I can swing my arm according to the mechanism I want. If the next steps are carried out without difficulty, I am in good condition enough to take the mound right after the opening."

Another starting pitcher Kim Tae-kyung pitched 30 pitches and posted a maximum speed of 143 km on a fastball. "I threw the ball to a batter for the first time since the surgery, and it felt good without any pain. My sense of breaking ball has not fully recovered yet, but I am not too worried because I am in the process of starting pitching in earnest," Kim said, adding, "I think my ball speed will gradually increase as I am recovering my speed. I will prepare well by focusing on improving the quality of my breaking ball going forward."
