"Lead off" in baseball means to indicate the first batter in a lineup or of an inning. When the announcer says that Hyun-jin Ryu is going to lead it off, it means he is the first batter up to the plate. Thanks for the question! Sports terms can be very different than regularly used everyday English terms. If you watch a lot of games, you will hear terms like this more often.
