"The ultimate goal is to use Jang Hyun-sik as a closing pitcher," he said. "I will put it in carefully until I start my role as a closing pitcher."

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "We had the best performance (7 wins and 1 loss) while Jang Hyun-sik was away," adding, "Now Jang Hyun-sik has to do well."

Jang Hyun-sik became a free agent after going 5-4 with 16 holds and a 3.94 ERA with the KIA Tigers last season and signed a four-year contract with LG for a total of 5.2 billion won.
