"Hyunsik should survive"

LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop made a decision and sent poor setup man Jang Hyun-sik down to the second division on the 10th. Jang has been sluggish since August. He only had a 5.91 ERA with one loss and three holds. The WHIP was not good enough to reach 2.34 with a hit rate of 40%. It got worse in September. He took the mound in three games without a win or loss and had a whopping 135.00 ERA. He allowed five hits, four walks, and six runs (five earned) with just one out count. The hit rate was 8.33 times.

He tried to find confidence by making him throw against the lower lineup in a situation where there was a difference in scores, but he quickly replaced it and gave him time to overhaul in the second division when he was hit in vain with a double, a walk, and a double against Kiwoom on the 9th.




"We need to rearrange the slider and rearrange the fork ball so that we can prepare well."Coach Yeom said, `For the time being, I think I'll have to train a little before the gameInstead of raising Jang Hyun-sik in a hurry, he revealed that he intends to definitely improve his condition. It's not a regular league right now, but a paving stone for the postseason.

Coach Yeom repeatedly said, `Hyun-sik has to survive.' There was a reason. This is because he expected the importance of the bullpen to increase in the postseason.

Manager Yeom said, `I think this year's postseason will be a batting battle with the bullpen"I think the bullpen pitchers have to be ready to some extent to win the game. " he said.




"The teams that are coming up now are equipped with starters, so if we have a starting fight, the bullpen and batting fight will likely determine the victory later in the game." I think the Korean Series will be like that as well as the postseason"We need to prepare, expecting that the keyword of the postseason will hit the bullpen."."

There are many teams that start well because foreign pitchers are good, so the bullpen and the team with good batting can win in the end.

Manager Yeom said, "Isn't Hanwha good to start four players, and SSG also has a good starting lineup?" and added, "In the end, I think there is a high probability that the bullpen will block or hit, and that the game will be played in the 7, 8, and 9th innings. If you lose the selection fight, you won't be able to win at all."




Since the bullpen is important, Jang Hyun-sik, who sprays 152km, cannot be given up. There are not many bullpen pitchers in LG who spray fast balls like Jang Hyun-sik. Raising Kim Young-woo, who sprays up to 157km, as a must-win group is a big harvest in preparation for the postseason. Kim Jin-sung, who ranks first in the hold, throws a rapidly falling fork ball as his main weapon, not a fast ball. Lee Jung-yong, who threw a fast ball of 150km, returned from Sangmu and his speed dropped to the mid-140km range.

In the postseason, where there is no game to give up, most must-win teams throw even if they lose if the difference does not widen. This is because it is a short-term match without the next one, so we have to catch up and win somehow. So having a lot of good bullpen pitchers helps that much, and the more fastball pitchers, the better of course. Jang Hyun-sik is a must for LG, which does not have many fastball pitchers. Will Jang Hyun-sik, who went down to the second division, return to the good old days.
