The reason why Jin Pil-jung's downfall at LG was even more baffling

It is because he showed signs of recovering his pitching power at Kia in 2003.
Of course, his ERA of 3.08 wasn't exactly overwhelming, but
he recorded 71 strikeouts while pitching 64 1/3 innings,
and he frequently exceeded 150 pitches during the season, even hitting 153.
Furthermore, I thought he would at least earn his keep once he moved from Gwangju to Jamsil..........
