Ryu Hyun-jin is a "LG killer" pitcher. Ryu's opponent in 2006 was LG, and he won seven ⅓ innings with three hits, one walk, and 10 strikeouts. His record is the best against LG with 23 wins, nine losses and an earned run average of 2.33.
After 11 years in the U.S., Ryu garnered one win, one loss and an ERA of 1.84 in three games against LG last year. He became a losing pitcher last year by allowing six hits, three walks and five runs (two earned runs) in three ⅔ innings against LG in the opening game of the regular season, but he was a natural enemy of LG in the second half of the year. He became the winning pitcher in August with five scoreless innings and one run in six innings in September.
Ryu had 10 wins and 8 losses and an earned run average of 3.87 in 28 games last year. In one exhibition game this year, Ryu pitched in four innings, four hits, one walk, three strikeouts, and two runs scored. As games were canceled due to cold weather, he threw only one game.
LG has weak jinx against certain left-handers. Heysus, who played for Kiwoom last year, had an earned run average of "0" with three wins and no loss in three games against LG.
LG faced Lotte left-handed foreign pitcher Barnes in the opening game on the 22nd. The LG lineup hit Barnes with a home run from the first inning and exploded eight hits, one homer, three walks and seven runs through the third inning.
Barnes started one game against LG last year and recorded six hits, two homers, three walks, five strikeouts and three runs in six ⅓ innings, but he was humiliated early on that day. He was replaced before the fourth inning in 617 days since the game against the NC Dinos on July 13, 2023 (six runs in one ⅓ inning).
LG has good batting cycle among batters at the opening game. In the opening two consecutive games against the Lotte Giants, he hit seven home runs and scored 22 runs. He had 15 hits, two homers and 12 runs, and 13 hits, five homers and 10 runs, respectively, at the game against the Lotte Giants on Sunday. Though it was two games, he hit seven home runs at Jamsil Stadium, the widest of the games.
Except for Kim Hyun-soo (one hit from eight times at bat), all batters who played in the main lineup have a batting average of over 300. Notably, Moon Bo-kyung, the fourth batter, hit a two-run homer in the first inning for two consecutive days, and displayed stellar performance by making four hits, two homers, four RBIs and four runs from eight times at bat. Main batters Austin, Oh Ji-hwan and Park Dong-won recorded homers.
Last year, Park Dong-won was 3 for 6 against Ryu Hyun-jin, Kim Hyun-soo was 3 for 7, Shin Min-jae was 2 for 4, and Hong Chang-ki was 2 for 7 with 2 hits and 2 walks. Moon Bo-kyung was 0 for 7, Austin was 1 for 7, Oh Ji-hwan was 1 for 5, Park Hae-min was 1 for 5, and Koo Bon-hyuk was 0 for 4.
