(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Gyu-bin = KIA Tigers coach Beom-ho Lee, who was the first to face Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles) among the nine teams in the KBO League, was very wary.
Coach Lee reviewed the previous match against Hanwha ahead of the exhibition game against the Doosan Bears held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 14th.
On the 12th, Ryu Hyun-jin led the team to a 9-1, 8th inning victory over KIA with a good pitching of 4 innings, 3 hits, no walks, and 1 run.

At the time, Ryu Hyun-jin threw a variety of pitches, including fastballs (29), cut fastballs (10), curves (11), and changeups (12).
First, coach Lee praised Ryu Hyun-jin’s continued command.
Manager Lee said, “I checked that I had perfect control over the four pitches,” and added, “It is much more difficult for batters to hit pitchers with better pitch control than with speed, so I think I will have to analyze it properly (next time). I am very cautious.” “He said.
Coach Lee compared, “I had good control in the past, but I probably had more strength back then because I was younger than I am now, and now my control itself is definitely better.”
At the same time, he recalled the time when he had a meal with Ryu Hyun-jin at Hanwha from 2006 to 2009.
Manager Lee, who has an active batting average of 0.271, said with a smile, “I was able to hit .277 because we were on my team and didn’t face them a few times.”
Regarding speed, which was considered Ryu Hyun-jin’s weakness, he said, “It seems that his speed and speed have improved much more than in the United States. The maximum speed was 148 km per hour, so it is no exaggeration to say that his physical condition is almost 100%.”
He then cautioned, “Before going to the U.S., the team’s batting was not good, but now (Hanwha’s) batting is improving,” and added, “If they throw comfortably (from the mound), they will produce quite good pitches.”
However, it is encouraging that he got 3 hits against Ryu Hyun-jin. Coach Lee predicted, “If he continues to stick and adapts, he will be able to play a good game.”
Meanwhile, Doosan infielder Park Jun-young suffered a bruise during recent defensive training and was excluded from today’s game.
