It means to get used to it a little while watching the opponent's pitching timing or throwing motion.
However, Lotte was playing a video of another pitcher during batting training before the game against LG at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 11th. LG's starter on the day is Lim Chan-kyu. Lim Chan-kyu is a right-handed pitcher, but he was a left-handed pitcher in the video. Looking closely, LG's left-handed starter Son Joo-young's pitching was being shown.
Lotte will hold the opening two consecutive games against LG in Jamsil on the 22nd and 23rd. LG said that manager Yeom Kyung-yeop will rotate the rotation early in the season with Yonny Chirinos, Son Joo-young, Elijah Hernandez, Lim Chan-kyu and Song Seung-ki, while he has already announced the rotation of five players. In other words, Lotte will meet Chirinos and Son Joo-young in the opening two consecutive games. Son Joo-young pitched in one game against Lotte last year and recorded one win. He took the mound in Busan on May 11 and allowed four hits, one walk, seven strikeouts, and no runs in six innings, and the team won 2-1 to become the winning pitcher.
As it is a match against LG, Son Joo-young's video is on, so it can be seen that he is preparing for the opening two consecutive games. A Lotte official said "I understand that Lim Chan-kyu's video came out when the starting players hit on the day. Son Joo-young's video came out when the back team hit."
Lotte made up the starting lineup with Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Jung Hoon (first baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Yoo Kang-nam (catcher), Park Seung-wook (striker), Choi Hang (second baseman), Jeon Min-jae (third baseman), and Lee In-han (left wing). The top hitters such as Na Seung-yeop, Reyes, and Son Ho-young were missing.
LG also made Park Hae-min (center fielder), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Park Dong-won (possession), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Song Chan-ui (left fielder), Lee Young-bin (second baseman), Koo Bon-hyuk (third baseman), and Choi Won-young (right fielder). Hong Chang-ki, Oh Ji-hwan, Austin Moon Bo-kyung and others are excluded from the selection and will play in the second half of the game.
Lotte's starter is Na Kyun-an and LG's starter is Lim Chan-kyu.
