The benefits of the biggest home ground for LG pitchers. It was the first time since LG moved to Jamsil Stadium. Jang Hyun-sik, who came to LG for a total of 5.2 billion won after winning the KIA Tigers last season, suffered a disappointing ankle injury in the Arizona camp and was unable to play in practice and exhibition games and joined the first team against the NC Dinos on the 17th.
This day happened to be LG's first Jamsil game. Following LG starter Eliaser Hernandez's scoreless 5 ⅔ innings, Lee Woo-chan, Kim Jin-sung, Kim Young-woo, and Kim Kang-ryul continued to throw, winning 3-0 without giving a point to the NC batters.
Jang Hyun-sik was scheduled to pitch his first real game against NC on the 18th, but the snowfall was canceled due to the snow from the previous night, so he had to replace it with bullpen pitching.
Since he has yet to pitch in practice since his injury, he will take the mound and throw in the Futures League match against SSG Landers in Ganghwa on the 20th, and then decide whether he will register for the first team in the opening game.
After pitching the bullpen, Jang Hyun-sik, who met the reporters, said, `I think the coach would like it if we could do it as we always did, as we had prepared.' Binding is important, but I have to feel good and gain confidence in it. I focused on finding the feeling. When I was pitching today, it was the best I've ever done. I'm so glad that I got a good feeling ahead of the opening," he said, indicating that he was ready.

Jamsil Stadium is the largest of its kind in Korea. It is 126 meters to the central fence and 100 meters to the left and right. In fact, it is big and there is a side that feels bigger in terms of visuals with other stadiums.
It is a stadium where there are fewer home runs when they grow up. A total of 144 games were held in Jamsil last year, and a total of 220 home runs were made, resulting in 1.53 home runs per game. The team ranked second in homers at least after Busan (1.46), which increased the number of homeruns. The figure was nearly half that of Daegu, which had 3.04 homeruns per game.
Jang Hyun-sik said, `In the past, I should have thrown three games when I came to Jamsil. I played 16 games in a year"Now we're going to play about 80 games here. It's clearly different."
LG will play 78 games in Jamsil this season and 82 games next year.
Jang Hyun-sik's performance at Jamsil Stadium was good. He pitched in 10 games against LG and Doosan last year and recorded a 2.79 ERA with two holds.
