KIA Tigers Kim Do-young was forward in the second batting order. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho emphasized 'No.3 Kim Do-young' the day before, but I wonder why the change occurred.

KIA, led by head coach Lee Bum-ho, will play the Doosan Bears in the 2025 KBO League exhibition game at Jamsil Stadium on the 14th.

KIA started with Park Chan-ho (striker), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Wizdom (first baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Lee Woo-sung (left fielder), Kim Tae-gun (past baseman), and Choi Won-jun (middle fielder).




The top batting order, which led to Park Chan-ho, Choi Won-joon and Kim Do-young in Gyeonggi Province on the 13th, has slightly changed.

Ahead of the game on the 13th, head coach Lee Bum-ho said "Kim Do-young thinks it's most important to be in No. 3."

However, Kim Do-young came out as No. 2 on the 14th. Doosan's starting pitcher was left-handed pitcher Choi Seung-yong.




Director Lee Bum-ho said about '2 Do-young'"I'm going to do a few things while leaving Kim Sun-bin and Lee Woo-sung behind. The purpose of any batting order is to win the game on that day."

He said it was not a change conscious of the left-hander selection.

Director Lee Bum-ho said, `I wanted to see Choi Won-joon in No. 9 and put Kim Sun-bin or Lee Woo-sung on top. I also wanted to make a comparison of how the team is different when it's centered at 4-5-6 and when it's at 1-2-3" he said.




Then "I'm thinking about three things, but today, I think you can think of it as if you're thinking about the second thing."," he added.

The batting order is always in flux. It is almost impossible for the main players to play 144 games in the same condition.

Manager Lee Bum-ho said, `If a main player plays well in 10 games, four to five games are not good, and those are the balance of hitters. We'll adjust it as we check. If your condition is poor, you can lower it a little, or if you are in good condition, you can put it on the batting order where you can play actively. I think we can be stronger if the team plays a season without injuryexpected "
