LG Twins' Cha Myung-seok nominated Kim Young-woo, a third-year Seoul High School pitcher, as the first round (10th overall). "When he threw 156 kilometers per hour, I had 156 blood pressure at the hospital," Cha said while holding the microphone.

Kim Young-woo threw a fastball with a maximum speed of 156 kilometers in the high school-college All-Star Game held in June last year.바카라

As time passed, Kim Young-woo, who participated in the Arizona Spring camp, held bullpen pitching on Wednesday. He threw a total of 29 pitches, including 15 fastballs, six curves, six forks, and two sliders. However, he displayed impressive speed in maximum speed on his fastballs. He threw 151.1 kilometers of fastballs.

"I threw four times. My speed is 151 kilometers, which is why I'm getting faster," Kim said. "I think I'm getting fit as I've been training with conditioning coaches since the closing camp. They told me to play 80 to 90 percent of the time, so I'm doing it accordingly, and I'm throwing about 30 times every time I throw a bullpen."

In early February, he threw with 80 to 90 percent of his power, not his full-strength throwing, and his speed was 151 kilometers. Amazing.

Kim Young-woo said, "The coach and coach Kim Kwang-sam gave a good evaluation of the fastball, so we are pitching bullpen mainly on the middle fastball, and the breaking ball is a process of trimming because the curve is good. I'm learning folk ball after coming to the camp, and I'm satisfied with myself because they adjusted the grip again."

Fastball is one of his strengths. When Yeom Kyung-yeop nominated Kim Young-woo, who throws a ball over 150 kilometers in speed, to the first round, he welcomed the nomination, saying, "There are pitchers who throw 150 kilometers on average."

"Now, participating in competitions is the first priority, so I'm training focusing on ball control and command. When that stabilizes, I want to try the 160-kilometer challenge," Kim said.

Kim Young-woo started playing baseball when he was in the sixth grade. He started later than his peers. The process of starting baseball is comparable to a drama. He said, "I started in the summer of the sixth grade, later than others. I wanted to do it before that, but I tend to study a little, so my parents opposed playing hard baseball. But I strongly persuaded my parents because I have to do what I really want to do. I asked them to play baseball as a birthday present for my sixth grade in elementary school, and they promised me that they would let me do it if I got 100 points for this exam."

Kim Young-woo challenged for 100 points this year. "I wanted to play baseball, so I studied hard and got 100 points this year. As I promised, I quit all the academies I've been attending since then and my mom made me cry. But now she likes it a lot," he said, explaining the process of playing baseball against her mother's will.

Kim Young-woo had surgery experience in high school. He underwent elbow surgery and rehabilitation, so he was paid for one year. After enduring hardships, he got back on his feet at the 150-kilometer fastball. "I was injured when I was in my second year of high school. I think I overcame it well because people around me helped me a lot because I kept running, and encouraged me to think that I should take a break and make it a time to supplement the details," Kim said. "I think I was able to overcome it well because I had a lot of good friends with my seniors, Hanwha (Kim) Seo-hyun and Doosan (Lee) Byung-hun."

Recalling the time of the draft, Kim Young-woo said, "I was very nervous because it wasn't called until the ninth time, but my parents said the day before, 'It's not something we can control, so let's go and enjoy it.' Both my grandfather and father are LG fans, so my family said they want to go to LG. It was so nice to be nominated by LG, and Seoul High School is also a striped uniform, but I was so happy to be able to join a prestigious club again with a striped uniform. I received a lot of congratulations because there were a lot of LG fans around me."

My goal as a baseball player is to make the big picture. "My goal for the future is to have the LG Twins permanently," Kim said. "I want to be a player who fans can think of winning the game and watch it comfortably if I go up to the mound and throw it."

"I'm not greedy for my first year as a rookie. I'm not sure yet, but I think that if I continue to do what I can and build up well during the spring camp, opportunities will come and I want to seize the opportunities whenever I get the opportunity," he said of the 2025 season. "I think it would be too arrogant to say that I will throw in the first team unconditionally, and I think that if I work hard, I will have a good opportunity."
