SSG Landers and KIA Tigers will face off in an exhibition game at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju from 6 p.m. on the 17th. It is the last two consecutive games where you can finally check your condition ahead of the opening of the regular season on the 22nd.
However, the temperature dropped sharply nationwide from the 16th, the previous day. In some areas, the temperature felt after the rain fell, and the temperature felt below zero due to strong winds in Gwangju and other Honam areas.
The game starts at 6 p.m., not at 1 p.m. It is a pre-agreed night game to adapt to the night game. KIA players, the home team, conducted ground training normally. Despite the sunshine, however, the wind is so chilly that people can't help but feel the cold weather. Some Kia players tried to maintain body temperature by wearing neck warmers and gloves.
Coach Lee Bum-ho and the coaching staff also wore thick jumpers. The officials also agreed, saying, "The weather is too chilly than expected." As of 4 p.m., the temperature at Champions Field was 7 degrees Celsius. However, the wind caused the temperature to feel even lower.
The problem is after the sun goes down. After sunset, the temperature was expected to drop even lower. The coaches of both teams also grew concerned. KIA announced its starting lineup normally for now. They are Park Chan-ho (striker), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Wizdom (first baseman), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Choi Won-joon (middle fielder), Kim Tae-gun (poster), and Lee Woo-sung (left fielder) starting pitcher Kim Tae-hyung.In addition, since there is one final exhibition game left on the 18th, there is a possibility of cancellation after watching the trend.
