Lotte played an exhibition game against the KIA Tigers at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 9th.
Yoon Dong-hee, who started as the second batter and right fielder, was replaced at the start of the second inning after hitting in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. While playing his first at-bat, a foul ball hit his shin.
A Lotte official explained, "'Yoon Dong-hee hit the top of the guard when hitting, and replaced it as a protection measure.'"We will proceed with the icing, and it is confirmed that there is no major abnormality."
Ahead of the game, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung announced his intention to use Yoon Dong-hee as the starting right fielder.
Last year, foreign Victor Reyes mainly played right field. Manager Kim said "Gam said "Last year (when Reyes entered right field), first-base runners often went to third base"Yoon Dong-hee is good at catching and throwing the ball is better. " he explained.
Hwang Sung-bin will fill center field and Reyes will fill left field. Coach Kim explained, `Hwang Sung-bin can run wide in the center field.'
On this day, Lotte organized the starting lineup in the order of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Reyes (left wing), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Jung-hoon (designated hitter), Choi Hang (second baseman), and Han Tae-yang (striker).
Charlie Barnes, the starting pitcher, pitched four perfect innings with three hits, seven strikeouts, and no runs before walking down the mound.
