Samsung manager Park Jin-man deployed the KIA Tigers to No. 4 at Gwangju Champions Field on the 3rd. The KIA Tigers' starter is James Nail, the ace of the dancing 'master of sweeper'.
After the opening two consecutive games against Kiwoom on the 22nd and 23rd of last month, a second-year foreigner who caused trouble by entering the 「Silence Mode」. Is there a reason for deployment number 4.
Coach Park Jin-man said "I also had a hit yesterday, and I think my swing has improved." There were other reasons as well. Coach Park said, `Kang Min-ho is not in a good condition. I thought the nail would play a long inning, so I put it in to support Jawuk from behind."
Kang Min-ho was scheduled to play as the No. 4 catcher against KIA on the 2nd, the previous day, but he fell out due to signs of physical pain before the game. Park Byung-ho was placed at No. 4 instead, leading to a 4-2 victory with a timely double in the eighth inning.
According to that trend, if Kang Min-ho was not in perfect condition, Park Byung-ho was likely to be deployed.

It is highly likely that he judged as a keyman who could target nail sweeper with Koo Ja-wook. The nail sweeper, which became a sensation last year, has become sharper in the new season. Two games and 11 scoreless innings, perfect pitching. The ERA is zero.
Among Samsung hitters, Kang Min-ho played the best. He went 2 for 2 and scored 3 points against Nail last year, including a home run. Kim Young-woong was also strong with two hits in three at-bats, with two hits being a home run and a double.
Diaz is new to nail art. I had never dealt with him last year.
It is difficult to specify the nature of the left and right type of nail.
Coach Park Jin-man also said, `If a sweeper comes in from a distance from a left-handed batter, it is difficult to angle. If a right-handed batter goes out, it's not easy either. It will vary depending on the angle of entry for each batter,' he said, hinting that he is a pitcher who has little advantage depending on the left and right sides.
Nail had a batting average of 0.264 and an OPS of 0.676 against 368 left-handed hitters last year. There are five homers. On the other hand, he recorded 0.253 and 0.671 OPS against 274 right-handed hitters. He has six homers.

He is 1 for 18 (0.056) against 19 left-handed hitters and 4 for 18 (0.222) against 29 right-handed hitters. This means that he is penetrating into the left-handed batter's body sharper than last year.
Starting with top hitter Kim Ji-chan, Samsung's left-handed hitters such as Koo Ja-wook, Diaz, Kim Young-woong, and Ryu Ji-hyuk are expected to be the focus of Game 2.
Samsung is targeting KIA's starting nail with Kim Ja-chan, Lee Jae-hyun, Koo Ja-wook, Diaz, Kang Min-ho, Kim Young-woong, Park Byung-ho, Kim Heon-gon, and Ryu Ji-hyuk.
KIA will face Samsung starter Hurado with Choi Won-joon, Park Jae-hyun, Na Sung-bum, Wisdom Lee Woo-sung, Byun Woo-hyuk, Hong Jong-pyo, Kim Tae-gun and Kim Kyu-sung.
