Ryu Hyun-jin started a practice game against the KT Wiz at Kochinda Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the 26th and recorded two hits, two strikeouts and no runs in two innings.
He took the mound in his own Cheongbaek match in Melbourne, Australia on the 18th and checked his sense of practice for the first time. At that time, Ryu Hyun-jin pitched one scoreless inning.
The first game against a domestic team. Ryu Hyun-jin, who successfully returned to the KBO with 10-8 losses and a 3.87 ERA in 28 games last year, started preparing for the season as an ace by showing good pitching again on the day.
On this day, KT formed the starting lineup in the order of Bae Jeong-dae (center fielder), Hwang Jae-gyun (striker), Heo Kyung-min (designated hitter), Moon Sang-cheol (first baseman), Oh Yoon-seok (second baseman), Kang Min-sung (third baseman), Song Min-seop (right fielder), Jang Jin-hyuk (left fielder), and Kang Hyun-woo (catcher). KT manager Lee Kang-chul tried to put more because "(Hwang) Jae-gyun is strong against Hyun-jin." He also explained, "Isn't there a high possibility that he will take the mound in the opening game against us?"

Good pitching continued in the second inning. Oh Yoon-seok had an infield hit, but he took a breather when he struck out Kang Min-sung. He then ended the inning by drawing a double play that led to Song Min-seop's second baseman-striker-first baseman. He threw 24 pitches in total. He threw seven fastballs with a maximum speed of 142 kilometers, and he mixed changeups (eight) and curves (two). There were 17 strikes and seven balls.
Ryu Hyun-jin handed over the mound to Sung Ji-hoon in the third inning.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who had scheduled about 40 pitches, moved to the bullpen and threw 20 more pitches before finishing the day's schedule.
