"All the pitches are up, but strangely, luck doesn't follow."
Amid the continued slump of LG Twins' 5.2 billion FA Jang Hyun-sik, LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop offered a solution for Jang Hyun-sik.
Jang Hyun-sik, who played as a closer when Yoo Young-chan was not available for surgery at the beginning of the season, had a good performance of 3-1 with one save and one hold in July, but was sluggish with a 7.36 ERA with one loss and three holds in August and September. 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.
Jang Hyun-sik took the mound at a time when he was a little ahead or a little behind, but now the timing of the mound changes.
Coach Yeom decided to give Jang some time to normalize Jang Hyun-sik.

Coach Yeom said of Jang Hyun-sik ahead of the away game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok on the 9th, "(Jang) Hyun-sik should make it."I'm going to change the " method. I'm going to put it in a more comfortable situation and increase my confidence so that I can use it in the postseason."
Director Yeom said, `Hyun-sik's pitching is up. If you hit 152km, it means your ball is good. "When baseball is not working, it gets twisted, but Hyun-sik 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, so the baseball is twisted as a whole," he said, adding that Jang Hyun-sik is in an unfortunate case.
"I'll change that trend by throwing it from a bigger margin or against the lower lineup so that we can recover to enter the postseason."Coach Yeom said "Ham Deok-ju and Lee Jung-yong have been improving recently, so Hyun-sik's position is planned to fill by alternately using Ham Deok-ju and Lee Jung-yong."
There is a saying that a pitcher is a multi-faceted line. Fielders need to clear up traffic, but the more pitchers there are, the better. In particular, LG is weak on the bullpen side, so it needs to strengthen the bullpen.
