Another eliminated player from the national team came out.

Ryu Joong-il, manager of the Korean baseball team, reported the elimination of outfielder Kim Ji-chan ahead of the second practice game against Cuba at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 2nd.

Coach Ryu said, `Kim Ji-chan will not be able to play in the Premier 12,' adding, `I hurt my ankle during the Korean Series, but I can't play because I have three  ̄ and four weeks to recover. They said they were still very uncomfortable when we met in the morning. It's too bad" he said.




Kim Ji-chan had a batting average of 316, 143 hits, three homers, 36 RBIs, 102 runs and 42 steals in the regular league this season.

Coach Ryu picked only six outfielders, including Hong Chang-ki, Choi Won-joon, Yoon Do-hi, Koo Ja-wook, Kim Ji-chan, and Lee Ju-hyung, from the 35 Team Korea training list in preparation for the Premier 12. Among them, only four outfielders remain as Koo Ja-wook and Kim Ji-chan were excluded.

On the possibility of selecting additional outfielders for the national team, coach Ryu said, `The outfield must go to four players now"If necessary, Shin Min-jae will use Shin Min-jae because he also played in the outfield," he said.

Coach Ryu changed his starting lineup ahead of Game 2. The starting lineup is comprised of Hong Chang-ki (left fielder), Song Seong-moon (designated hitter), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (first baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Park Dong-won (captor), Lee Ju-hyung (middle fielder), Park Sung-han (striker), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman). He used Moon Bo-kyung as the fourth batter and posted Song Seong-moon as the second baseman, which makes it unique. He posted Kim Hui-jip as shortstop the previous day, but he started Park Sung-han as No. 8 shortstop on that day.

Director Ryu tried number 4 as Moon Bo-kyung. I am thinking of preparing for the match against Taiwan by changing various positions in the practice game and selecting the player who showed the best condition" he said.
