He was very sluggish with 3 wins and 13 losses in his opponent. It was also very disappointing to fall behind the last-place Kiwoom Heroes with 6-10 losses, but losing the showdown with KIA in the lead fight was one of the reasons for falling to third place.
He met KIA in a good atmosphere, but lost each time and lost the showdown, leading to a decline in the team's atmosphere. In particular, it was shocking to lose three consecutive games as soon as the second half of the 3.5 game, and in the third consecutive game from August 16th, when they met again in the fourth game, they were virtually pushed out of the first place competition.
LG lost three wins and six losses to KIA in the first half, but lost all seven games in the second half. Strangely, the game didn't go well with KIA. It didn't explode at the chance, and the game that led was also overturned at the last minute.
It is now the 2025 season. KIA is trying to win for the second consecutive year as the defending champion, and LG is trying to regain the championship trophy.
For LG, the first meeting with KIA is important. This is because if the same slump as last year continues in the first match, the KIA match could continue to be uncomfortable for LG players.
The first match between LG and KIA will be held in three consecutive games at Jamsil on April 4 and 6, two weeks after the opening. In terms of the starting rotation, it is the order in which the second ￣ and fourth starters will start. It can be seen that foreign pitchers and two domestic pitchers will take the mound. Since about two weeks have passed, it is time to see the team meet at a time when the team is undergoing some maintenance.
In the semi-playoff against KT Wiz last year, LG re-signed Eliaser Hernandez, who had a fighting spirit of taking the mound in all five games as a bullpen pitcher, and won 13 games, but recruited Yoni Chirinos as the first starter instead of the unstable foreign pitcher Detrick Ens, and recruited Jang Hyun-sik, a veteran KIA setup man, as a FA with a full four-year guarantee of 5.2 billion won to fill the weak bullpen. He also brought Doosan's fastball veteran Kim Kang-ryul and veteran Shim Chang-min from the NC Dinos, and appointed left-handed Choi Chae-heung as a compensation player from the Samsung Lions, where FA Choi Won-tae left, to strengthen the bullpen. The batters renewed their contracts with Austin and maintained their starting lineup, and worked hard on the growth of prospects such as Song Chan's Lee Young-bin, Kim Bum-seok and Moon Jung-bin in the closing training.
KIA re-signed ace James Nail, who was the No. 1 ERA, and recruited new foreign pitcher Adam Oler. Instead of renewing his contract with foreign batter Socrates Brito, who performed well for three years until last year, he signed Patrick Wisdom and tried to build a better lineup. Jang Hyun-sik was lost to LG, but he gave up the first and fourth round of the rookie draft to Kiwoom, making a bold choice to bring veteran bullpen pitcher Cho Sang-woo, showing his determination to win for the second consecutive year.
The first match between KIA and LG. It will be natural to sell out three consecutive games. Who will be ahead in the first pride match. It is a match that LG cannot miss.
