LG Twins temporary closer Jang Hyun-sik (30), who was injured during the spring camp and finally played his first game, accepted the unsatisfactory report card.
Jang Hyun-sik took the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning against SSG Landers in the 2025 Mediheel KBO Futures League at Ganghwa SSG Futures Field on the 20th and allowed two hits (one homer) in one inning.메이저놀이터
Jang Hyun-sik took the mound after starting pitcher Lim Chan-kyu in the seventh inning when his team was leading 8-0. Jang Hyun-sik, who gave up a double to leadoff hitter Ahn Sang-hyun, changed his third base and two outcounts by turning Kim Chan-hyung and Kim Kyu-min side by side with outfield flies.
Jang Hyun-sik, who faced off Seok Jung-woo, the fourth batter of the inning, threw two consecutive balls and was at a disadvantage, and Seok Jung-woo, who had an advantage in the count, pulled Jang's third pitch and made a two-run home run over the left fence. After graduating from Yonsei University and joining SSG as a nurturing player for the 2022 season, Seok played in nine games that year and had two hits. He had a batting average of 0.303 in 107 games for the Futures League.
Jang Hyun-sik finished the day's mission by catching the follow-up hitter Lee Seung-min with an outfield fly ball.
LG recruited Jang Hyun-sik, the "biggest FA fish" in the last Stove League, under the exceptional condition of "full guarantee of 5.2 billion won for four years." Jang Hyun-sik faithfully played his role as a must-winner with 5 wins, 4 losses and a 3.94 ERA in 75 ⅓ innings for the KIA Tigers in the 2024 season, and also pitched five scoreless innings in five ⅓ in the Korean Series, contributing greatly to KIA's overall victory.
LG's recruitment of Jang Hyun-sik is expected to be a step forward. Ham Deok-ju and Yoo Young-chan, LG's main bullpens last year, have both been on the operating table after the end of the season, making it uncertain to join the team in the first half of this season. After facing an unexpected injury, LG immediately put out a fire by recruiting Kim Kang-ryul, an additional FA, and selected Jang as a temporary completion for the 2025 season.
However, as Jang suffered an embarrassing injury during the spring camp, LG's plan was disrupted. Jang was diagnosed with a partial ligament tear after tripping on his right ankle while walking on a slippery road on the afternoon of June 16.
Jang, who returned from the camp early and started rehabilitation, recovered faster than expected, speeding up his return to the camp. However, as games that he was scheduled to participate in were repeatedly canceled due to rain and snow, his actual game was postponed, and he was able to start his first inspection only on Tuesday, two days before the opening of the season.
