It is somewhat awkward to start as the third starter, not as the opening game of the season. However, if you focus on the date, not the order, it is also meaningful.온라인바카라
This is the story of Ryu Hyun-jin (38), the ace of the Hanwha Eagles. He will start the 2025 season on the occasion of his 38th birthday.
Ryu will start in the 2025 professional baseball game against LG at Jamsil Stadium on Saturday. Having handed over the opening two consecutive starts to Cody Ponce and Ryan Weiss, Ryu will start in his team's third game.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the 25th is also Ryu Hyun-jin's birthday. This is the first time that Ryu Hyun-jin will take the mound on his birthday, combined with his Korean and American lives.
Ryu returned to the Hanwha Eagles after finishing his 11-year career in the Major League last year. As he returned to the Hanwha Eagles at a somewhat belated timing, he is somewhat less prepared. He started the opening game against the LG Twins on March 23 at Jamsil Stadium, but struggled due to allowing six hits and five runs (two earned runs) in 3.2 innings.
However, this season is different. He completed his spring camp with Hanwha from the beginning to the end, and pitched once in an exhibition game to complete the inspection by allowing two runs in four innings.
The fact that LG is taking the mound for the first time in this season when he starts as the third starter is also like fate. It is a golden opportunity to take revenge against the team that destroyed him in his first appearance last year.
LG's batting lineup exploded like an active volcano, with a total of 28 hits and 22 runs scored in the opening two consecutive games against Lotte. However, if the opponent team is Ryu Hyun-jin, it is a different story.
Ryu was the strongest pitcher against LG any other team. He pitched in a total of 36 games (35 starts) against LG, recording 23 wins and 9 losses and 2.33 ERA. He was the best pitcher among the KBO league teams that Ryu faced. He failed in his first game last year, but since then, they have had two more showdowns, and eventually, his performance against LG in 2024 was good, with one win and one loss and 1.84 ERA in three games.
It is the third time that Ryu will take the mound against LG for the first time in this season in the KBO League. His first came on April 12, 2006, his debut season. At the time, Ryu pitched 7.1 innings of three hits, one walk, and 10 strikeouts, signaling the emergence of a "monster." Eighteen years later, he met LG again last year, but lost the game by giving up five runs.
Coincidentally, the venue for 2006 and 2024 was Jamsil Stadium. And again, Jamsil Stadium. Will Ryu Hyun-jin's third pitch of the season against LG be closer to 2006 or 2024. Now the door opens.
