Even if it's not right, the reason why Junwoo insists on number 1...Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who is ranked 9th out of 10 teams, is worried about the weak lineup.

"I think Junwoo's number 1 is not good enough..."

9th in batting average and 9th in on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) among the 10 clubs. The only batters with a worse record than the Lotte Giants are the Hanwha Eagles.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Hanwha Life's Ballpark on the 2nd, sighed when the story of the batting lineup came out.




He is agonizing over the first and second batters. If other hitters get a little better, I'll think about changing the batting order."

Jeon Jun-woo will also be the first hitter in the game. He was the first hitter and center fielder Jeon Jun-woo at the time between 2017 and 2018, when he was at his peak.

Jeon Jun-woo said "I've played a lot in the past, so I'm used to number one. It reminds me of the old days." Then " (because I hit it once)?"Do you see?" he joked.




On the reason why he uses Jeon Joon-woo as a leadoff, head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, `It was good timing to go out as No. 1. It's okay to hit it."

Currently, Lotte's Hwang Sung-bin and Ko Seung-min, who should play as the main table setters, are both out due to injuries. Yoon Dong-hee, who was the No. 1 player, also seems to be sluggish under the pressure.

Son Ho-young (3rd base), Na Seung-yup (1st base), Reyes (right wing) and Jung Hoon (designated hitter) were at the top of the lineup.

Regarding the fact that catcher Son Sung-bin was removed from the first team the day before and outfielder Kim Dong-hyuk was posted instead, "Son Sung-bin is in pain, but there is no promise when he will get better." "I thought it was better to get off quickly," he said. "I can't defend because of the pain."

In the case of Hansae, it's a bit inappropriate to call it Jurusa. It was a baserunning play with a lot of thoughts added to it. We played the game, but the result was just bad. "

Then "Still, Jang Doo-sung seems to be getting better little by little, and Han Tae-yang still lacks confidence." We have to wait and see. Should I stay in the first team or should I go to the second team and play?"

However, he has good qualities for Han Sun. He has a good sense of baseball, and his sense of following the first bound is quite good. Shoulders are usually," he added.

As the first game of the week series was canceled the previous day, Hanwha chose Um Sang-baek to take a break from the rotation once, and the rest of the pitchers to play normally.

However, Lotte is scheduled to take the mound by one day without any change in order.
