The KIA Tigers will face the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 28th.
The first game of Hanwha's new stadium. Hanwha has begun to adapt to the new stadium through practice games and exhibition games, but KIA will experience the new stadium for the first time.
KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said, `It's really well-made. I think Hanwha fans would feel much better and better watching baseball" and "It was built well as if it were a real foreign baseball stadium. I can feel it when I went to the Major League team. The ground itself is also very pretty."
Hanwha's specialty is Monster Wall. It is an asymmetric stadium, and the distance to the right fence is about 4m closer to the left. To compensate for this, I made an 8m tall monster wall.
It became difficult for left-handed hitters to get a home run. In addition, the right-handed batter's pushed ball has become difficult to become a home run. "No matter how high the fence is, it will come out when the home run comes out," coach Lee said, looking at "What kind of hit is important." Then, coach Lee said, `I think I have to play a detailed baseball game today," he added.

Manager Lee said "Hanwha's starting team was very good. It would be nice to have a home run, but I think I should play baseball in detail"I went inside the Monster Wall and saw a lot of things, but it's going to be a variable."
Meanwhile, KIA formed the starting lineup in the order of Kim Sun-bin (2nd baseman), Hong Jong-pyo (3rd baseman), Na Sung-bum (right wing), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Patrick Wisdom (first baseman), Wisdom (left wing), Choi Won-joon (center fielder), Kim Tae-gun (captor), and Kim Kyu-sung (striker).
The starting pitcher is James Nail. Nail started in the opening game against NC and recorded two hits, one strikeout and five strikeouts in five innings.
Manager Lee said, `Today, he said he will throw six innings. I think I'll prepare for six innings. I think I've prepared more than 80 balls. He expected, "I'm not the type to throw too many balls and take long innings."
