I heard Ryu Hyunjin has two and three at-bats

Kiwoom will have a showdown with the Hanwha Eagles at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Tuesday. The starting pitcher of the Hanwha Eagles is Ryu Hyun-jin.

Kiwoom had lost four games in a row since the season opened and rebounded with four consecutive wins. It had a win against LG and returned home after winning two consecutive games (one game was canceled due to rain) against Samsung in an away game in Daegu.

Coach Hong said, “There are only eight games left, and 136 games left, so I don’t think it’s time for joy and sorrow yet.”

When he was a Hyundai player, he had a showdown with Ryu at Cheongju Stadium. “The PR team told me that there were two and three strikeouts,” Hong said with a smile.

Hong never mentioned Ryu to his players. “I haven’t told the players anything. Because of the opposing team’s starting pitcher, there are so many issues, and he seems excited, but it’s only one out of 144 games. Since he is a team and a player that we have to meet at least once out of 16, it’s okay to meet early. I think he is playing a big role in the success of the KBO league, and I am thinking positively about that, too. We will focus on the game today and do our best to plan the game,” he said.

Regarding Ryu Hyun-jin’s attack, head coach Hong said, “The result can change to one or two balls or some defensive scene, and the flow of the game is instant.” The reason why we had a good series with LG was because of one defense that cut the flow with Park Soo-jong’s good defense. As our flow is not cut off and there are the best ways to win, we don’t deal with it as it is, so I think we can solve it well if we prepare well without neglecting the small parts of each game.”

After Lee Ju-hyung returned from injury, left-handed hitters Lee Ju-hyung, Dawson, Kim Hye-sung and Choi Joo-hwan were placed in the 1st to 4th positions. Coach Hong said, “The current flow itself is not bad, so I think the table setter or the center lineup will be fine for the time being.”

The starting pitcher for Kiwoom is Ha Young-min. Ha Young-min should defend Hanwha’s batters well. In the game against LG, he became the winning pitcher with five scoreless innings.

Coach Hong said, “Ha Young-min doesn’t set the number of pitches for now, but puts the most emphasis on what kind of flow he will be in the beginning, so I hope he will keep it out until the basic five innings.” “The game itself will be a fun game if good defenses continue to break any flow after the first head start because the current flow itself is not bad,” he said.
