How to solve the complicated number of starting pitchers.

The Lotte Giants failed to play an exhibition game against the KT Wiz, which was scheduled to be held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 15th. The game was canceled early due to rain from the morning.

Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung and KT manager Lee Kang-chul were all worried because there was a rain forecast until the 16th. Fortunately, contrary to the forecast, the rain stopped on the 16th, so the game can start for now.




The exhibition game is a stage where starting pitchers come out one after another on a set schedule and raise the number of pitches in time for the opening. However, if the game is canceled, the situation will inevitably get twisted.

Lotte was originally starting Barnes on the 15th and Kim Jin-wook on the 16th. Therefore, Barnes was dispatched to Sangdong, where KT and Futures games were scheduled to be held, as the possibility of canceling the game increased on the 15th. However, Sang-dong also came in vain due to rain just before the start of the game.

Lotte will put Barnes in the game against KT on the 16th. Then Kim Jinwook. Kim Jin-wook headed to Sangdong with Barnes yesterday. Coincidentally, it was the same Lotte-KT second-tier schedule as the first-tier team, so the replacement of pitchers could be smooth. Kim Jin-wook enhances his sense of action in the Futures League game.




Lotte will move to Seoul after the game and play the last two consecutive exhibition games against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome. Three pitchers are Davison, Park Se-woong and Na Gyun-an. There are only two games.

So Davison stays in Busan. He will take the mound in a Futures game against the NC Dinos on the 19th and play about 80 pitches. Then, Park Se-woong and Na Kyun-an can throw the two consecutive Kiwoom games.
