Kiwoom Heroes, who recorded two consecutive wins in trial games, made some changes to the batting order.

Kiwoom will face SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon from 1 p.m. on the 14th. Kiwoom won the night game against SSG the previous day (13th) with starter Chung Hyun-woo pitching four scoreless innings, and Song Sung-moon, Lee Joo-hyung and Kim Gun-hee's home runs scored to win 7-6.

Kiwoom excluded all two foreign batters in the game on the 14th, which will be played again as a day game. Yasiel Puig, who complained of pain in his back, took a break from Gyeonggi Province on the 14th following the 13th, and Ruben Cardinez, who had been on a steady business trip, also decided to take a rest after training to hit the game. Lee Ju-hyung was also out of the starting lineup.




Kiwoom's left fielder Park Joo-hong and center fielder Jang Jae-young were deployed side by side as No. 1 and No. 2 'Table Setter', while second baseman Song Sung-moon, first baseman Choi Joo-hwan, and designated hitter Kim Dong-yeop were placed in the clean-up trio No. 3 to 5. Right fielder Lee Hyung-jong, third baseman Yeo Dong-wook, catcher Kim Gun-hee and shortstop Jeon Tae-hyun were placed in the bottom batting order.

Kiwoom's starting pitcher is Kim Seo-joon, a high school graduate rookie. Kim Seo-joon, a high school graduate right-handed rookie pitcher from Chunghoon High School, was named the seventh overall in the first round through a trade with the NC Dinos, who handed over Kim Hui-jip. Kiwoom has selected a total of two players in the first round, including Chung Hyun-woo, the first overall player in the rookie draft, and Kim Seo-joon, the seventh.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said of Kim Seo-joon, `I hear that my ball control is stable, but I hope it stays that way. He's still a young player, and now when you experience batters in the profession and play against him, you'll have a lot of thoughts. As for how accurately he throws, which was emphasized from the rookie camp, I carefully looked at the future use and outline through this exhibition game.
