Choi Jung, who can't defend right away, has no designated hitter...SSG Outfield Traffic Clearance How?
Welcome news to SSG Landers, star Choi Jung is returning. Choi Jung-eun, who was not listed in the opening entry due to a hamstring injury, will accelerate her return to the first team through an actual inspection at the Futures Camp in Ganghwa Island from the 29th. After playing the second-tier game during the week, it will make its first appearance in the first division starting with three consecutive away games against the LG Twins on the 2nd at the earliest. I don't think there will be a big problem with the return. The batting training started early, and it is said that the base running is currently possible up to 80%. There is also Choi's will to not delay any more time with that responsibility, as he signed a full guarantee contract of 11 billion won ahead of this season.

However, team competition is bound to intensify. Because I can't defend right now. Coach Lee Sung-yong thinks he won't let him play third base defense for the time being, which can strain his hamstring because he is not 100% physical. The player himself expressed his intention that it would be difficult to defend.
However, it is inevitable to use the best hitter, and Choi Jung-eun is expected to play as the designated hitter in the end. It is impossible to predict exactly whether this will be a month or how long it will last, but it could trigger a positional chain of movements.
I can't help but think about the position of McBroom, the new foreign hitter who joined with Choi Jung. McBroom can cover first base and right field spots. If McBroom goes as a designated hitter, he can create a devastating lineup that leads to first base Ko Myung-joon and right fielder Han Yu-seom. However, since he cannot play as a designated hitter, he has to give McBroom a position.

Ko Myung-jun is a player that coach Lee raises as the fourth batter. In the end, McBroom has to go to right field. If so, will Han Yu-sum be pushed back to the backup. In response, coach Lee said, `I actually had a meeting with the coaches. Han Yu-seom is considering moving to left field for now. Han Yu-seom also said it was okay because he played in left field a few games last year. He explained, "I've been preparing early on, saying I'll actively practice."
This guarantees long-shot power, but there is an aspect that the corner outfield defense becomes too weak. "I don't think we should expect much from McBroom in defense," Lee said," he said coldly. Even if there is a maximum center field Jihoon Choi, there is a limit to the cover. Director Lee said "That part is honestly concerning."
There is also an alternative. It's Choi Jun-woo. Recently, he has consistently played as the main left fielder and is appealing both in ball and in ball. Manager Lee said, `Choi Jun-woo may be in the left field depending on the opponent team, the pitcher, and the condition. I think we need to choose and focus on a player with a good pace."
