In an exhibition game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 10th, LG consisted of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Song Chan-ui (left wing), Koo Bon-hyuk (fielders), Lee Joo-heon (possession), and Choi Won-young (middle fielder).
Only four of the top batters were the main players, and all five were made up of backup agents. All five are right-handed hitters, and six of LG's nine lineup are right-handed hitters and three are left-handed hitters. Kim Hyun-soo, Oh Ji-hwan, Park Dong-won, Park Hae-min, and others will continue to hit as substitutes.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `I've used a lot of right-handed batters because my opponent is a left-handed pitcher.'
As many as seven of LG's nine main players are left-handed batters. Perhaps that's why they often showed weakness to the opponent's left-handed ace. So I always looked for right-handed back-up agents, but they showed significantly lower skills than the main players. Kim Bum-seok showed good performance at the beginning of the season, but eventually showed the limitations of prospects. In the end, even if they were forced to be sluggish, they had no choice but to use a lot of key players.
Coach Yeom and the coaching staff were busy from the closing camp with the aim of fostering backups after last season. We prepared for this season by selecting backup candidates and conducting more intensive training. If they show their potential through exhibition games, LG's plan can be materialized.
LG's starter on the day is Elijah Hernandez.
