Kim Jin-seong struggling
Veteran relief pitcher Kim Jin-seong (39) of the professional baseball team LG Twins has been removed from the first-team roster. This is a disciplinary measure for expressing dissatisfaction through personal social media.
An LG official said on the 23rd, “We removed Jinseong Kim in order to refresh the team atmosphere.”
On the 22nd, Kim Jin-seong expressed his dissatisfaction using foul language on his social media, saying, “I dedicated my body and soul, but I was XX.”
Kim Jin-seong appeared in the 8th inning of the game against Doosan Bears held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 21st with the score 6-3 and was replaced by Yoo Young-chan with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 2nd base.
At the time, Jinseong Kim had 20 holds and one out left, but he was unable to set a record as he was removed from the mound.
LG manager Yeom Gyeong-yeop judged that Kim Jin-seong’s behavior had poured cold water on the team atmosphere, and is said to have called him in separately and reprimanded him.
Kim Jin-seong appeared in 47 games this season, recording 1 win, 2 losses, 19 holds, and an ERA of 3.89. 안전놀이터
