Kiwoom Heroes, who are on a 4-game winning streak, made a major lineup change in the first game of the week against Gocheok Samsung on the 18th. First of all, Edison Russell, who was missing from back pain, returned. It has been 5 days since the match against Doosan on the 13th. He was assigned to the 5th shortstop.
Director Hong Won-gi of Kiwoom explained, “I took a break for 3 or 4 days because of my back pain, but I made it possible to start without burden one step lower than No. 4.”
Number 4 is Lee Hyeong-jong, a 2 billion won free agent.
4th hitter starting in 548 days. The last 4 games were against Changwon NC on October 17, 2021, during the LG days. 스포츠토토
Kim Hye-seong is the top hitter, and Kim Hui-jip, who has one shot, forms the table setter in number 2. On the 16th, the best hitter Lee Jeong-hoo, who had a vivid afterglow of the home run to end the match against KIA, was No. 3.
There are also changes to the bottom line.
Park Joo-hong wears a mask as the 6th third baseman, and the rookie catcher Kim Dong-hun as the 7th starting catcher.
Director Hong said, “As I had good breathing with foreign pitchers, it means to try to match with Jang Jae-young.” It is read as a freshman catcher arrangement to induce Jang Jae-young’s comfortable pitching rather than Kim Dong-heon’s.
The number 8 was recently deployed by hot left fielder Lim Byeong-wook. In No. 9, rookie Song Jae-seon, a college graduate who was called up that day, will participate.
Coach Hong, who said, “I confirmed my good form during the camp,” said, “I took into account that the opponent is a left-handed pitcher (Baek Jeong-hyun), and there is also a dimension to strengthen outfield depth. A wide range of defense is also an advantage.”
Song Jae-seon is a bad newcomer who says, “My goal is to put dirt on my uniform every game.” A new face to bring your team to life. I am very curious about what kind of results Director Hong’s discernment will produce. For reference, the demonstration game performance was 1 at 11 (0.111) with 5 strikeouts.
