**LG Ens Gets a Passing Grade in his First Appearance, “The Match-up with Ryu Hyun-jin in the Opening Game on the 23rd is also the Best”** Appeared as a starter in an exhibition game against KT, allowing 2 runs and 8 innings in 4 innings. LG Twins' new ace Dietrick Ens (32), who performed a 'three strike show' in his first actual game on the domestic stage, gave a thumbs up, saying he gained confidence. Ens started the visiting game against KT Wiz in the opening game of the 2024 professional baseball exhibition game held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 9th, and became the winning pitcher with 4 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, 8 strikeouts, and 2 runs in 4 innings. **[토토사이트 순위](https://www.cmriindia.org)** “It was a good experience,” he said. “I did a lot,” he said, adding, “It was a meaningful game.” He said, “I looked at how batters reacted to my pitches and also experimented with how the Automatic Pitching System (ABS) works,” and added, “I think all preparations went well.” On this day, Ens blocked KT's batting lineup with one hit, one walk, and no runs until the third inning.

The fastball with a maximum speed of 148 km and the sharp cut fastball were especially powerful. Ens said, “The fastball and cut fastball to the batter’s body went in as I wanted,” and “I think the combination of the two pitches was good.” He went on to add, “I trained a lot with my changeup in the off-season, and I will work on it further before the start of the regular season.” On this day, the Ens effectively utilized the ABS that the KBO League introduced this season. That was the curve he threw against Bae Jeong-dae in the bottom of the 3rd inning with 2 outs and runners on first base with a ball count of 2 balls and 2 strikes. A curveball that fell from a high position on the outside slightly crossed the ABS's strike zone and was ruled a strike, resulting in a looking strikeout.
