Will he be able to fill the big gap in the Kiwoom Heroes lineup. Won Sung-joon from the 'strongest baseball team' returned to the first team.

Kiwoom canceled rookie Jeon Tae-hyun from the first team on the 29th, and registered Won Sung-joon in the second year instead. This is Won's first first first-team call-up this season.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki, who met at Gocheok Sky Dome on the same day, said "Jeon Tae-hyun came all the way from the opening entry, but his hitting pace fell a little bit." We decided to give it time to reorganize it."




Then "Won Sung-joon continued to receive good reports in the second division. As many key players are missing, it was an opportunity for Won Sung-joon. I was worried about the opponent's selection (Lotte Barnes), but it's not the time to tell the left and right sides."

Puig left on the 24th after suffering a shoulder rotator cuff injury during the first base ovation process. Lee Ju-hyung was also canceled due to his poor performance at the beginning of the season.

Looking forward to a new wind from Won Seong-jun. He has played in seven games for Futures this season and is swinging a batting average of 467 (7 hits in 15 at-bats). In particular, in the game against Doosan's second division on the 23rd, he drove 5 hits in 5 at-bats, including a double and a triple each.




Won Sung-joon played in 51 games last year and recorded a batting average of .255 (28 hits in 112 at-bats) and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.654. A player with a talent for contact and an unexpected shot. Kiwoom, which has many prospects, is competing for survival.

Director Hong Won-ki said, `The biggest advantage of rookies is their spirit. On the other hand, Oh Sun-jin, who hit a full base home run (against SSG Landers on the 27th), has a lot of experience as a veteran. "The two have to go back together to become a healthy team," he said. "I think it will be a new option if I prepare well in the second division because Jeon Tae-hyun will also feel a lot."

In particular, Kiwoom, which drew attention last year as Ko Young-woo and Won Sung-joon from the strongest baseball. Coach Hong Won-ki stressed that `Players who have adapted to the KBO league to some extent last year and can be a boost to the team.'




On this day, Kiwoom will play with a lineup without a single rookie for the first time in a long time as Eo Jun-seo is out of the lineup. Lim Ji-yeol (designated hitter), Choi Joo-hwan (first base), Cardinez (right wing), Song Sung-moon (second base), Oh Sun-jin (striker), Won Sung-joon (left wing), Park Soo-jong (middle fielder), Kim Jae-hyun (catcher) and Ko Young-woo (third base) line-up. The third starter is Kim Yoon-ha.
