As soon as Yoo Young-chan returned, he overcame the crisis and made his first save by playing multiple innings, and Jang Hyun-sik, a setup man who returned, also returned with clean pitching.
Jang Hyun-sik even took the mound as soon as he was called up to the first team in an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 7th. He came out as the second pitcher and took care of him lightly with three outs in the first inning.
Jang Hyun-sik took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning, trailing 1-3. Jang Hyun-sik, who caught the lead Lee Joo-hyung with a 145km direct ball in front of the second base, caught No. 4 Lim Ji-yeol with a 134km slider in the fifth pitch in 2B2S to right field. No. 5 Won Sung-joon struck out swinging with a fork ball of 140km for the fifth pitch in 2B2S.
Jang Hyun-sik, who stopped the first inning lightly with 13 pitches, recorded a maximum fastball speed of 146km.
Jang Hyun-sik wore an LG uniform as an FA after last season. Jang Hyun-sik, who transferred with a four-year, full guarantee of 5.2 billion won, was scheduled to play as a key player in the mid-term pitching along with Kim Jin-sung as a setup man position.
However, Jang Hyun-sik's position was changed to the finish when Gap-ja's main skull microfracture was found in closing Yoo Young-chan.
Jang Hyun-sik, who injured his ankle during the Arizona camp and returned after the opening after rehabilitation, had a good record of 1 loss, 8 saves and a 1.10 ERA in 16 games.
However, taking the mound in both the first and second games of the doubleheader against the Samsung Lions on May 10 and making saves in the game on the 11th was too much for him. His shoulder was not good and he was left out of the entry on the 13th due to fine damage to his dorsal muscles.
Still, he showed rapid recovery and came to the first team three days after playing one inning in the game against the Goyang Heroes on the 5th.
Yoo Young-chan took the mound for the first time in the top of the ninth inning against Samsung on the 1st and stopped it scoreless, and in the match against NC on the 5th, he took the mound in the bottom of the 8th inning with one out and a full base, and made his first save with no hit and no run until the bottom of the 9th inning.
LG will now be able to form a rich team with a must-win group such as Jang Hyun-sik, Kim Jin-sung, Park Myung-geun, and a quasi-pil-win group such as Kim Young-woo, Baek Seung-hyun, and Lee Ji-gang. If Lee Jung-yong, who will be discharged from the military on the 17th, is added, he will be able to run a more stable bullpen.
LG unexpectedly lost to Kiwoom for two consecutive games, and was chased by Hanwha Eagles. However, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop is looking far away, not right away. With Hong Chang-ki already out due to injury, if any more key players are injured, the fight for first place could become difficult, so they are preparing for the summer season, which will be a showdown while managing the players as much as possible. First of all, the bullpen has reached the completion stage before the summer.
