The LG Twins, who are ranked first with an overwhelming 21 wins and 5 losses (0.808 winning percentage) in the second half alone, are both ranked first with a 3.14 ERA and a 298 team batting percentage, proving them to be the strongest team in the second half. But that doesn't mean you're free from worries. The most noticeable thing is setup man Jang Hyun-sik.
It is an FA that was recruited for a total of 5.2 billion won for four years after last season to strengthen the bullpen. He had to break up with Choi Won-tae to recruit Jang Hyun-sik. As such, he is a key bullpen pitcher for LG, but his performance in August is so bad.
Jang Hyun-sik, who pitched well with 3 wins, 1 loss, 1 save, 1 hold, and an ERA of 2.13 in 11 games in July, was also lucky to take three wins in the six consecutive games against KIA and Doosan on July 22-27.
But in August, it deteriorated dramatically.
A slump in ERA of 13.50 with one loss and two holds in eight games. He pitched only four ⅔ innings and had 14 hits (two home runs). He gave up four walks and struck out five. Of the eight games, there was only one game that did not get a hit (one inning scoreless against Hanwha in Jamsil on August 8). I kept getting hits and losing runs, so I couldn't go down properly after the inning.
At the match against Lotte in Jamsil on the 19th, he took the mound in the top of the ninth inning with a comfortable lead of 5-0. It was an appearance that meant to throw comfortably in a situation where there was no pressure, but he failed to finish the game by losing a point again this time.
He struck out the leader Jang Doo-sung with a swing and miss, but Han Tae-yang and Ko Seung-min hit back-to-back, putting him on the verge of a one-out, first and second base, and Son Ho-young hit a ground ball in front of the third base, but unfortunately he failed to double play, leading to two outs, second and third base, and Reyes gave up two runs after hitting a heavy hit. When it became 5-2 and the save situation was with two outs and one base, Yoo Young-chan, who was prepared in the bullpen, took the mound and treated Yoon Dong-hee with a ground ball in front of the shortstop, and the game ended.

Manager Yeom said, `Just as there are times when starting pitchers can't win, there are also trends in middle pitchersDepending on how you manage it when it's bad, you can recover quickly. It takes a long time to come up if you take a picture of the floor. If the best card I have hits the bottom, I might lose it. It's important not to hit the bottom."
Manager Yeom, who announced that he plans to raise his condition by pitching from a comfortable margin, saying, "'Didn't you pay by 5 points yesterday?'" The media and fans are anxious because Hyun-sik is not good." That's how things are created and that's the flow. But Hyunsik is a necessary card for us. Hyun-sik should live to make it easy for him to go to the rest of the game in the future and use the postseason, he explained why he should save Jang Hyun-sik.
He said he doesn't bother to drop Jang Hyun-sik to the second division. Director Yeom said, `Now is not the stage to be canceled in many ways. It's important to keep playing and solve the game." Hyun-sik is quick to recover. I have several years of experience of success. And it takes a long time if the player himself is bent and struggling, but Hyun-sik is now burning with his will. 'The ball is up. He shows confidence, saying, 'I think it's only a little bit more. I am thinking positively", optimistic about the revival of Jang Hyun-sik.
