The Lotte Giants will play an exhibition game against the KIA Tigers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th.
On this day, Lotte formed the starting lineup in the order of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Victor Reyes (left wing), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Park Seung-wook (striker), and Jeon Min-jae (second baseman).
Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung said, "(It's the first game of the exhibition game. I'm going to watch (Yoo) Gangnam by increasing the number of innings as well."
Yoo Kang-nam will wear a catcher mask from the first game of the exhibition game. Yoo Kang-nam underwent surgery for a knee injury in July last year and went into rehabilitation.
Yoo Kang-nam signed a four-year contract with the Lotte Giants for a total of 8 billion won ahead of last year's season. He has been called the `Gold Mine Bulgo' and boasted of his health, but he went to the operating table last July due to a knee injury. He has a batting average of 191, five home runs and 20 RBIs in 52 games, and an OPS (long hit rate + on-base percentage) of 0.599.
He prepared for the season with as much pride as his disappointing performance. Through the rehabilitation process, he improved his physical condition by playing in the spring camp. In particular, they thoroughly prepared for a rebound, such as losing 13kg.

Regarding Yoo Kang-nam's physical condition, head coach Kim said, `He said he feels okay now. Feelings are important. What's worrisome is that the catcher's knee is a position that's too much, so I'm worried that I'll get injured again. He said, "I'm going to check the situation and use it."
Meanwhile, Ko Seung-min, who missed the middle of the spring camp due to an ankle sprain, will also join from the 9th. Director Kim said, `I'm going to come in tomorrow and check my physical condition. I have to schedule it."
Lotte plans to have Park Se-woong as the starting pitcher, followed by foreign pitcher Tucker Davidson. As for the starting pitcher's condition, Kim said, `We are gradually increasing the number. I'm going to put two players together with about 60."
