The selection of the opening game was left to a proven foreigner. However, Lotte Giants' new foreigners' ball power successfully completed the final inspection.

Lotte Giants Davison pitched well in the Futures game against the NC Dinos at Masan Stadium on the 19th with four hits, one walk, and one run in five innings. The number of pitches was slightly higher at 83.

In addition to the maximum 149km fastball (35), it is notable that the sweeper (23) was intensively pitched. On top of that, he combined cut fastballs (15), folk balls (9), and curves (1) to bully NC batters all the time, striking out nine and clearly showing his style.

He allowed a double to leadoff hitter Park Gun-woo in the first inning and a timely hit to Seo Ho-chul after one out to allow one run, but he changed the atmosphere by handing over the second and third innings to a three-way error. He allowed Shin Jae-hwan (hit) in the fourth inning and Kim Jung-ho (double) and Park Gun-woo (walk-net) to get on base in the fifth inning, but he struck out Kim Han-byul and Park Si-won one after another to end the inning without losing a point.

Strikeball ratio (69.9%) and strikeout ball ratio (9:1) are also impressive.

After Davison, Lotte's Lee Min-seok took the mound and played three ⅔ innings to recover his condition as a long relief or alternative starter. As Lee Min-seok filled 70 pitches, Park Si-young was in charge of the last one out.

Lotte's poor batting lineup seems to be getting a little longer. He only had six hits against NC's Choi Sung-young and Shin Min-hyuk, and none of the players had multiple hits.

At the top of the fourth inning, Park Seung-wook (double), Choi Hang (ballnet), Lee In-han (sacrifice fly), Han Tae-yang (hit), and Jeon Min-jae (double) drove in three points to turn the game around, and Kim Min-sung hit a wedge against Shin Min-hyuk in the ninth inning to add one more point.

The game was a game in which five first-team batters, including Park Seung-wook, Han Tae-yang, Choi Hang, Jang Doo-sung and Lee In-han, were sent down to Futures to start and raise their sense of play.

In addition, rookie Park Se-hyun, who dreamed of becoming an opening entry based on a powerful fastball, will join the second division later after building up his body for the time being.
