"It's too much for Austin."

Why did Austin and Kim Hyun-soo, the LG Twins' center hitters, fall out of the starting lineup against SSG Landers.

LG will play the first game of three consecutive games against SSG at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 18th. LG made batting order in the order of Hong Chang-ki, Shin Min-jae, Moon Sung-joo, Moon Bo-kyung, Oh Ji-hwan, Park Dong-won, Song Chan-ui, Koo Bon-hyuk, and Park Hae-min.




Attention was paid to whether Austin would play or not. Austin was excluded from the selection against the Samsung Lions on the 16th and 17th due to a sore throat. Is my throat still not good.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met ahead of the game, said "Austin can be a substitute for today's game"If SSG starter Park Jong-hoon is out, he can go right away" Body condition means that there is no big problem.

Park Jong-hoon is an authentic underhand pitcher who has been disappearing from the KBO League recently. If foreign hitters played baseball in the United States, they could hardly see the underhand type. So many foreign hitters struggle with the same type of pitchers as Park Jong-hoon.




Coach Yeom said "Austin can't hit Park Jong-hoon's ball. For Austin, it's just 'MUCH'. It's better to take it out altogether. The timing doesn't match at all. It's too hard for foreign batters to hit. Didn't you deal with Austin a lot though. It's not everything to let him out. After two years of watching, the timing is not right at all. If Park Jong-hoon comes out, it's better to take a rest unconditionally."

Then why is Kim Hyun-soo out. It wasn't about Park Jong-hoon. Director Yeom was exhausted. I haven't played much defense in recent years, but I continued to play left field defense due to Moon Sung-joo's injury. He looked tired and let me rest. Kim Hyun-soo can also play as a pinch hitter during the game."
