Professional baseball LG Twins pitcher Jung Woo-young's command is increasingly stabilizing.

On the 10th, Jung Woo-young took the mound as a relief pitcher in the 2025 Futures League game against Goyang Heroes at Icheon LG Champions Park and recorded a perfect pitching with 1 inning and 2 strikeouts without allowing any batters to reach base.

Jung took the mound in the top of the 4th with a 2-1 lead and threw a strike with a 147 km two-seam fastball to lead-off hitter Kim Dong-heon. After a foul, he got an out with a 128 km slider on the third pitch, resulting in a pop-out to left field. His slider placement targeting the high zone of the ABS zone was good.

Yeo Dong-wook struck out with a swinging strikeout on the sixth pitch at 142 km two-seam after being at 2 balls - 2 strikes. Against Kwon Hyuk-bin, after encountering 4 consecutive fouls at 2 balls - 1 strike, he secured a standing strikeout with a slider (129 km) on the eighth pitch. It was impressive that he secured a strikeout with a slider instead of his main weapon, the two-seam fastball.

The highest speed of the two-seam fastball reached 147 km. The highest speed of the two-seam fastball has consistently been 147 km in recent outings. Out of 17 pitches, 13 were strikes, resulting in a strike ratio of 76%. He threw 14 two-seam fastballs and 3 sliders.

Jung Woo-young struggled in his first 2 games of the Futures League, giving up 3 hits, 3 walks, and 6 earned runs in 1⅔ innings. After the game against Doosan Bears on April 2, he regained his pitching balance through basic training for about 2 months.

On May 30th, he recorded 1 inning with 1 hit and 1 walk without allowing any runs against Doosan. On the 3rd, he recorded ⅔ inning allowing 2 hits, 1 walk, and 1 earned run against Goyang.

On the 7th against SSG, he recorded 1⅔ innings with 1 hit, no walks, 2 strikeouts, and no earned runs. This was his first time pitching multiple innings, and his strike ratio was 74%. On the 10th against Goyang, he became the first to finish an inning without allowing any runners to reach base, ending with a 3-up, 3-down.

The content of his pitching is becoming increasingly stable. In the last 4 games, he pitched for 4⅓ innings, gave up 4 hits, 1 walk, 1 hit-by-pitch, had 5 strikeouts, and allowed 1 earned run (unearned), resulting in an earned run average of 0.

Although the highest speed of the two-seam fastball has not reached the mid-150s like in the past, he has shown consistent pitching without fluctuations in command. If he demonstrates more good pitching content, he can expect a return to the first team.

In 2022, showing a powerful two-seam fastball that reached a peak of 157 km, Jung Woo-young won the hold king title (35 holds). However, his performance has been on a declining trend since 2023. In 2023, he played 60 games, recording 5 wins, 6 losses, 11 holds, and an earned run average of 4.70, and he underwent surgery to remove bone fragments from his elbow after the Korean Series championship. In 2024, he pitched in 27 games with a record of 2 wins, 1 loss, 3 holds, and an earned run average of 4.76. This year, he has been playing in the Futures League after the exhibition games.
