⚾ Starting Pitchers
So Hyeon-jun gets the nod for KT. He’s posted a 6-0 record this season with a 2.95 ERA. Against Hanwha, he holds a 1.50 ERA without factoring into any decisions. So Hyeon-jun remains unbeaten and has already shown he can keep this lineup in check. His key assignment will be limiting free passes ahead of the visitors’ power hitters.
Ryu Hyun-jin takes the mound for Hanwha. He’s 8-2 with a 3.22 ERA this year, and sports a 2.70 ERA versus KT, also without a decision. The veteran lefty has the tools to keep the game tight, but the starting matchup doesn’t look one-sided. He’ll be facing a KT lineup hitting a collective .282.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Ryu Hyun-jin gives Hanwha a fighting chance to keep things close and has the tools to make life difficult for the hosts early on. However, So Hyeong-jun is enjoying an even more impressive season, boasting a 6-0 record and a 1.50 ERA against the visitors. KT hold the edge in batting average, team ERA, and lead the head-to-head 6-3-1 over the last ten meetings. Hanwha are more dangerous with the long ball, but without runners on base, that threat is less significant. If So Hyeong-jun can navigate the opening innings, KT’s offensive depth should gradually tip the scales in their favor. In this matchup, we’re backing a KT win.
