Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, second baseman Tommy Edman, right fielder Teoscar Hernandez, catcher Will Smith, third baseman Max Muncy, first baseman Kike Hernandez, left fielder Michael Confoto, shortstop Miguel Rojas and center fielder Andy Paz.
Of course, it wasn't the best lineup. This is because first baseman Freddie Freeman and shortstop Mookie Betts missed both games due to injuries. In fact, when the two players return to the final exhibition game series against the Los Angeles Angels on the 24th and 26th, when they play as the best members, Kike and Rojas have to step back to the bench.
However, the owners of nine positions, including designated hitters, are not determined. Second baseman and center fielder have no built-in members. It should be attributed to Kim Hye-sung. Kim Hye-sung, who went down to the minor league camp after the last exhibition game before the Tokyo Series, against the Cleveland Guardians in the last 12 years, was checked all over the place.

However, as he was unable to adapt to the batting, he was unable to determine a certain starting position for the built-in second baseman. In a chain, center field also had a problem. In the end, manager Dave Roberts said at the beginning of the season that `I will not put the starting lineup on second base and center field.' Depending on the situation, three to four players will be used alternately in the two positions.
Roberts told local media immediately after the Tokyo Series that `the two positions are fluid. I think several players who can play as second baseman and center fielder can take over. I wouldn't use just one person in a particular situation. It depends on the left and right pitchers, but it won't be a specific situation." This means that the second baseman and center fielder starters may vary depending on whether the opponent's starter is left-hander or right-hander.
More specifically, Roberts said "Tommy, Kike and Rojas are second baseman, and Tommy and Andy are alternately in center field." So it's fluid" He explained, "Basically, one of the other three players will play together except Tommy, who plays every day, and he will be used about five times a week.'
If Edman plays as a second baseman, Andy Parz will go to center field, and if Edman looks at center field, it means that Kike or Rojas will play as a second baseman.
Roberts envisions a somewhat complex formation for second and center field because Kim Hye-sung failed to establish himself as second baseman. At this point, there is a possibility that Roberts will not find Kim Hye-sung for a long time. If the second baseman and center fielder platoon system works to some extent at the beginning of the season, there is no reason to shake it.
Kim Hye-sung has no other way. He needs to show his advanced batting skills in Triple-A Oklahoma City. You have to adapt to a 100 mile fastball, fast slider and sweeper.

It was found that it was Dr. Neil Elatrice, the Dodgers' doctor, who strongly blocked Betts and Freeman from playing in the Tokyo Series.
"Dehydration is one of the worst conditions that can cause muscle tension," he said in an interview with local media. If you participate, you can be diagnosed with a six-week diagnosis of a torn abdominant muscle or hamstring"In the case of Freddie, if you don't pay the least attention, you can also lose it for six weeks."
Roberts said, `If you lose a lot of weight and become dehydrated, you can be exposed to soft tissue damage. We are paying attention to that. If he recovers to form and strengthens his muscles next week, he will be able to start training again in time for the home opener. Freeman expects to return against the Angels.
