"All the pitches are up, but luck is not coming."

Regarding LG Twins' 5.2 billion FA Jang Hyun-sik's poor performance, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop took the mound under low pressure and gave him time to regain his confidence, but even this failed.

Jang Hyun-sik appeared as a relief pitcher for the third time in an away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 9th, but he was replaced after allowing two doubles and a walk. He scored three runs in 0 innings, allowing the flow of the game to completely move toward Kiwoom.




Jang Hyun-sik, who had a good record of 3-1 with one save and one hold in July, has been sluggish with a 7.36 ERA with one loss and three holds since August. In 16 games, there were only two games without a hit.

The slump continued in September, and in the match against Suwon KT on the 4th, he failed to catch any outcount and allowed three runs (two earned runs) with one hit and two walks, and in the match against Jamsil SSG on the 7th, he was replaced in the midst of a full base crisis with two hits and one walk during ⅓ innings. It was fortunate that Ham Deok-ju, who followed, blocked it without losing a point.

Although he is sluggish right now, Jang is an essential pitcher in the LG bullpen. As he needs to play his role in the bullpen in the postseason, Yeom needs to revive Jang as a reliable setup man during the regular season.




It would be a good idea to go down to the second division because it is not good, but coach Yeom was not thinking about it. That Jang Hyun-sik has good pitching. Instead, in order to ease the mental burden, he announced his plan to put him on the mound in a relaxed situation where there was a difference in scores so that he could throw more comfortably.

A game between the LG Twins and the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium on the 31st. Kiwoom Jang Hyun-sik is pitching hard. Jamsil = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2025.08.31/
Coach Yeom said, "(Jang) Hyun-sik has to make a game on the 9th. I'm going to change the way. I'm going to put it in a more comfortable situation so that I can use it in the postseason by raising my confidence"Hyun-sik's ball power is up. The fact that he shot 152km means that his pitching is good. When baseball doesn't work, it's twisted, but Hyunsik is like that. Even if you go to a ground ball, you don't go to the front of the fielder, but you get a hit, and even if you miss it, you get a rip-off hit, which causes baseball to be twisted as a whole. I'll change that trend by throwing it from a bigger margin or against the lower lineup so that I can recover to get into the postseason"Jang Hyun-sik revealed the utilization plan.

Immediately, the situation that director Yeom said came out. On this day, starter Tolhurst showed a sluggish performance of five runs in four innings, leading to a reversal of 2-5, and Jang Hyun-sik took the mound in the bottom of the sixth inning with Lee Jung-yong coming out in the fifth inning and blocking well without allowing a run. It was from Kiwoom's No. 8 Kim Jeon-hee, so he was in the lower lineup of situations where Yeom said he was behind.




However, the result was the opposite of Yeom's expectations. Kim Gun-hee hit Jang Hyun-sik's 148km first pitch fastball hard and hit a double over the middle wall. No. 9 Park Joo-hong picked out a low fastball and walked after a full count match. Jang Hyun-sik, who met Song Sung-moon at the first and second bases with no outs, threw a 148km fastball in 3B1S, and Song Sung-moon hit the ball well that entered the body strike to make it a right double. Kim Gun-hee stepped home, and with no outs, second and third bases. Eventually, the pitcher replaced Baek Seung-hyun.

Later, as Baek Seung-hyun scored an additional goal, Jang Hyun-sik scored three runs. Baek Seung-hyun also lost an additional point, and LG allowed six runs in the bottom of the sixth inning alone, and the game was virtually decided by a wide margin of 2-11.

Jang Hyun-sik's performance this season is 3.99 ERA with 3 wins and 3 losses, 10 saves and 5 holds in 53 games. In three games in September, he allowed five hits, four walks and six runs (five earned runs) in ⅓ innings, a whopping 135.0 ERA.

Will Jang Hyun-sik be able to regain his old form in the remaining regular league. Jang Hyun-sik is worried ahead of expectations.
