LG Twins manager Yoon Kyung-yup talked about replacing foreign pitchers.
In an interview before the 2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on April 4, Yim said, “I’m worried about the starting pitcher. The club will make preparations,” he said.
LG is ranked sixth in the league in starting ERA (4.78) this season.

But if the two foreign pitchers are shaky, the stability of the game drops a lot,” he lamented.
“Foreign pitchers should be counted on, but when they give up five runs in the first inning like yesterday, they are not counted on,” said Yeom Kyung-yup, who pointed out, “We have a chance to win in the second half if we have a good starting pitching battle. It’s not just us, it’s 10 teams. If the starting pitcher gives up a lot of runs in the first inning, the atmosphere will drop.”

“We have to wait and see,” said Yeom. It’s still an ambiguous time to make a decision. Other clubs will make a decision by the end of May. After two months, they will say, ‘Yes or no, it will be better if we go to the end. If it doesn’t completely collapse at the beginning of the season, it’s normal to start preparing now. It starts at the end of May, so a lot of foreign players are replaced in May and June.”
