In the end, LG Twins' Jang Hyun-sik failed to join the opening entry.
Jang Hyun-sik pitched in the SSG Landers' second division and the Futures League at Ganghwa SSG Futures Field on the 20th and allowed two hits (one homer) in one inning. He pitched 18 pitches.
Jang, who received a double from leadoff Ahn Sang-hyun, gave Kim Chan-hyung and Kim Kyu-min fly balls to right and left, respectively, but lost the game after hitting a two-run homer off Seok. Jang ended the inning by turning Lee into a fly ball to right field.메이저놀이터
LG recruited Jang Hyun-sik in the FA market last winter on the condition of guaranteeing a total of 5.2 billion won for four years.
There is only one reason why I spent so much money. It is strengthening the bullpen. Yoo Young-chan, who finished last year, left due to elbow surgery. As a result, LG needed a new closing pitcher, and Jang Hyun-sik was selected as the new closing pitcher.
Jang Hyun-sik, who moved to LG in that way, departed for the Arizona spring camp in the U.S. However, a variable occurred at the end of the spring camp. Jang Hyun-sik tripped while walking and injured his ankle. Jang Hyun-sik, who returned to Korea early, underwent MRI and detailed examination, and was found to have partially ruptured ligaments on the outside of his right foot. It was expected to take four weeks to return.
Fortunately, he recovered faster than expected, and gave the green light to join the opening entry.
However, the weather did not help this time. Jang tried to pitch in the first game against the Doosan Bears on Wednesday, but the pitching was canceled due to rain. After replacing it with live pitching and bullpen pitching, he joined the team ahead of an exhibition game against the NC Dinos at Jamsil Stadium on Wednesday.
He was scheduled to take the mound at the final exhibition game against NC on Wednesday to check his physical condition, but failed to perform the final inspection as the game was canceled due to heavy snow this time. Jang replaced it by throwing 25 pitches from the bullpen.
After the cancellation of the game, Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "I have to play... (Cancellation of the game) is not a good thing. I had to play the game unconditionally because of Hyunsik."
Jang's actual pitching plan has also changed. "I think Kim Kwang-sam, the pitching coach, will decide after watching the Futures League game on Tuesday, and whether he will join the roster or register on Tuesday (April 25) after throwing it over the weekend," Yeom said.
Jang did not have perfect ball power in the second division game, and decided to postpone joining the first division. He is expected to take the mound several more times in the Futures League. With this schedule, he will not be able to see Jang in the first division until April.
