Pohang Doosan match on the 5th. He received a transfer notice during an away game in Incheon, and arrived at the Pohang Stadium only after the start of the game. Naturally, he was not included in the starting list. 

Ryu Ji-hyeok took the place of An Joo-hyung as a pinch hitter in the 4th inning, with 2-3 behind and no runners. 

Wearing a home team uniform with the number 42 on it, Ryu Ji-hyeok, who entered the plate from the left, hit a forkball on the 4th pitch with Doosan starter Kim Dong-ju in the ball count 1B-2S, but withdrew with a ground ball to second base. 

On the other hand, Ryu Ji-hyeok played in 787 games for the 1st team before the match, recording a batting average of 207.01 (505 hits in 1865 at-bats), 12 home runs, 202 RBIs, 318 runs scored and 48 stolen bases. 

Manager Park Jin-man said, “Currently, the infielders in the team are young, but it will be of great help if Ryu Ji-hyeok, who can play all infield positions and has experience, joins them. He seems to be of great help in attack as well. He is a player with many advantages.” 

He also said, “I’m thinking of leaving third base to Ryu Ji-hyuk. I hope he will do a good job,” he added.
