Left-handed aces Kim Gwang-hyun (SSG) and Yang Hyeon-jong (KIA), who represent Korean professional baseball, will start a matchup for the first time in eight years.

SSG and KIA announced Kim Gwang-hyun and Yang Hyeon-jong, respectively, as starting pitchers for the game held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 9th. It is the first match between the two since the Gwangju match on September 26, 2015.

Last week’s spring rain made the ‘big match’ happen. KIA couldn’t play the last 4 games because of the rain. On the other hand, SSG played 3 consecutive matches with Kiwoom at Gocheok Sky Dome last weekend, so it was normally digested without cancellation. As a result, the order of appearances for Kim Gwang-hyun and Yang Hyeon-jong was decided on the same day.

Born in 1988, they are the same age and have clashed a total of six times since their first confrontation in 2007, the first year of their professional career. In the first match, May 25, 2007 (Incheon), Kim Gwang-hyun became the losing pitcher with 6 runs in 5 innings (4 earned runs), and Yang Hyeon-jong made an early start with 1 run in 1 inning. In the second confrontation, which took place on October 3 (Gwangju) of the following year, Kim Gwang-hyun gave up 2 runs in 7 innings (visa book), and Yang Hyeon-jong played the role of starting pitcher with 1 run in 5.2 innings, but could not decide the win or loss.메이저사이트

On August 13, 2013 (Incheon) and April 18, 2014 (Incheon), which established themselves as the league’s top pitchers, Kim Gwang-hyun became the winning pitcher with 2 runs in 6 innings and no runs in 7 innings, respectively, and Yang Hyeon-jong took on the defeat. On September 21st (Incheon) and 26th (Gwangju), 2015, Yang Hyeon-jong won the victory with 6 scoreless innings and 2 runs in 6 innings, respectively, and Kim Gwang-hyun was defeated.

In the matches the two started, the team faced off with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses. Kim Gwang-hyun recorded an average ERA of 3.68 with 2 wins and 3 losses, and Yang Hyeon-jong recorded an average ERA of 5.33 with 2 wins and 2 losses.

The atmosphere of the team is also at stake, so the shoulders are heavy. Kim Gwang-hyun should continue the team’s winning streak with 5 consecutive wins, and Yang Hyeon-jong should continue the team’s upward trend with 8 wins and 2 losses in the last 10 games.
