KIA Tigers 'Big Pitcher' Yang Hyun-jong's ninth move is getting longer. Yang Hyun-jong has been in place for 235 days with 180 wins in his career.
Yang Hyun-jong will start against the LG Twins in the 2025 KBO League at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 25th. LG's starter is left-hander rookie Son Joo-young.
Yang Hyun-jong has lost only three games without winning in five games this season. We can't just blame Seung-woon. He has allowed 20 runs (18 earned runs) in 25 ⅔ innings with a 6.31 ERA. The on-base allowance per inning (WHIP) is 1.79 and the hit rate is 0.340. The quality start is still the 0th episode.
However, he pitched well against KT on the 17th, which was the previous mound, signaling a rebound. He showed a pitch close to a quality start with three runs in five ⅓ innings.
KIA manager Lee Bum-ho expected Yang to overcome this small ordeal soon.
Manager Lee Bum-ho said, `He's a player who's passed a lot of nine moves so far. In the case of the last appearance, Yang Hyun-jong seems to have only thought of the team. I threw well, but I'm sorry I couldn't keep the quality start."
Director Lee Bum-ho then said "There are more wins to be made in the future. I talked a lot about good things with the pitching coach as well as me. I think it will be resolved soon. He is a player who can win more than 200 games. I'll trust you and wait for you" cheered.

It is also the return match of KIA's 'Superstar' Kim Do-young. MVP Kim Do-young, who injured his hamstring right after the opening, devoted himself to rehabilitation for a month. He played in the Futures League against Samsung on the 23rd and showed off his strong performance by recording one hit in two at-bats.
LG starter Son Joo-young has a 3.81 ERA with three wins and one loss in five games this season. Son Joo-young has won three games in a row in the opening three games. However, the team has slowed down in the last two games. He lost six runs in three innings against Doosan on the 13th and was withdrawn against SSG on the 19th with three scoreless innings.
LG and KIA desperately need to win. Both teams met NC and Samsung in three consecutive games during the week and suffered a losing series. If he loses today (25th), he will lose consecutively. KIA will lose three consecutive games. Attention is focusing on whether Yang Hyun-jong will finally overcome the ninth move or Son Joo-young will rebound again.
