Landersfield New Captain said his goal is to win this season. This is why Kim Kwang-hyun is even busier this season.
The second game of the three consecutive games between SSG Landers and Lotte Giants will be held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 26th. On the previous day, Lotte won 3-2 against SSG after a close game in the 11th inning of overtime. SSG, which won its opening two consecutive games, unfortunately ended its winning streak.
SSG Landers players picked Kim Kwang-hyun as their new captain ahead of this season. Kim Kwang-hyun, who was sluggish last season with a 4.93 ERA, his worst since his debut as a pro player. Although he recorded a double-digit victory, Kim Kwang-hyun is wearing the captain's armband and playing with heavy responsibility this season.
Kim Kwang-hyun, who even took over as captain, pitched five ⅔ innings against Doosan on the 23rd, his first appearance this season, becoming a winning pitcher for two runs. He allowed as many as seven hits, but showed a strong pitching during the sixth inning. Kim Kwang-hyun said after the game, "I'm not in the best shape yet, but I did my best for the team."
