Will the two-seam fastball that was handed down by the KBO MVP finally exerts its power? Jeon Sa-min (26, NC Dinos), a promising player in the team, is receiving favorable reviews from the coaching staff at the spring camp.토토사이트

Jeon held bullpen pitching at NC`s CAMP 2 (spring camp) in Tucson, Arizona on Tuesday. It was his fourth pitch in camp as an individual.

According to the NC Dinosaurs, Jeon Sa-min threw a total of 41 pitches on the day. His average speed was around mid-140 kilometers. His pitching performance was so good that his head coach Seo Jae-ung and pitching coach Lee Yong-hoon kept shouting "good ball." Catcher Kim Hyung-joon, who was responding to the pitching, also said, "If the bat had gone out on this ball, it would have broken."

"I'm maintaining a good pace. I've been in good physical condition since the CAMP 1 (finishing training)," coach Lee Yong-hoon said. "Even when I'm losing physical strength, I'm very active in training." "I'm very aware of my ball on the mound," Lee said. "I have high expectations for this season."

Jeon Sa-min said after pitching, "I am satisfied with the location of the slider and the well-formed movement of the pitch." He continued, "The ball power I thought in CAMP 2 is well maintained. I practiced various breaking balls, and this part is also like what I thought during training, so I think it's positive."

Former Busan Daeshin Middle School and Busan Jeong Bo-go joined NC in the second round of the 2019 rookie draft. After completing his mandatory military service with the Sangmu Baseball Organization, he returned to the team in 2022 and is playing. He throws fastballs, sliders and changeups with high RBIs in his 194-centimeter-tall physical condition.

Notably, Jeon has enhanced the completeness of two-seam fastballs since the 2023 season. He learned this from his teammate Eric Peddy (currently St. Louis Cardinals). "I asked Peddy how he could solve the problem of having a high two-seam hit rate against left-handed hitters, and he told me well," Jeon said. Peddy was one of the ace pitchers who won the MVP award as he became a three-time pitcher in the 2023 season. He learned a good weapon from a player who went straight back to the Major League last year to play full-time.

However, Jeon has yet to display any significant performance in the first division. Jeon has played in 34 games and 50 innings in the first division until last year, recording two losses, one save and an ERA of 6.66 without a win. Last year, Jeon pitched 23 ⅔ innings, the most since his debut, but his ERA was high at 9.51. Prior to the season, Jeon had to be dropped out of the spring camp due to ruptured abdominal muscles.

Jeon Sa-min set the goal of this year's spring camp to "completing CAMP 2 without injury" as if the memory of last year's camp came to mind.
