He was hit by a pitch from the opening game. Fortunately, it did not lead to injury, so I felt that 'A soldering'.

SSG Landers Park Sung-han will start as the third batter and shortstop.

"Park Sung-han took X-rays yesterday and checked again today, and he said he was fine," said SSG coach Lee Sung-yong, who met at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th. Of course, Kim Sung-hyun is good, but (Park) Sung-han is okay.

Park Sung-han was hit on the right wrist by Doosan Cole Irvin's fastball in the bottom of the second inning against the Doosan Bears in Incheon on the 22nd. The game was played until the end, but the wrist was slightly swollen. On the 23rd, he appeared at the stadium with a bandage and rested, and Ahn Sang-hyun played shortstop. However, Park Sung-han's examination results were judged to be okay, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lotte's starting pitcher on the day is left-hander Davidson. However, coach Lee Soo-yong said, `Park Sung-han does not usually cover his right hand and left hand. Last year, the left-hander's batting average (31.11) was higher than the right-hander's (28.9)"It's not uncomfortable if I face a left-handed pitcher as I'm used to playing as an active player."

In the exhibition game against the LG Twins earlier, the prediction that "both Doosan and SSG are likely to face left-handed pitchers" was exactly correct. Following Doosan's Irvin-Jack Log earlier, Lotte is also likely to be Davison-Kim Jin-wook. Following the opening two consecutive wins, the game can be played as prepared.

The table setter of SSG has been virtually decided as Jihoon Choi - Jeong Joon-jae. Here, even the third batter Park Sung-han came out, and all 1st to 3rd were made up of left-handed hitters.

Director Lee Soo-yong said, `We will decide on the 1st and 2nd anyway. In the absence of Choi Jeong, I thought about how to fill the position. I think Park Sung-han is okay to maximize attack power. Park Ji-hwan (third base) also stressed that he will continue as long as his pace does not drop.

In the end, Choi Jung and Mitch White have to play running baseball until they return. Earlier, he has repeatedly said that he prefers a situation in which fast left-handed hitters are forward-deployed to expand the defense between the opponent's first and second bases and left-handed hitters continue to make first and third bases.

Moon Seung-won, the starter for the day, is preparing to take the mound twice a week. However, coach Lee Sung-yong said, "Nothing has been decided. Song Young-jin is going out tomorrow. Kim Gun-woo is likely to be on the 27th, but it is still undecided. I'll make a decision after watching the game tomorrow," he stressed.
