SSG Landers' center hitter Choi Jung was excluded from the starting lineup.

SSG formed the starting lineup of Jihoon Choi (center fielder), Jung Joon-jae (second baseman), Park Sung-han (striker), Ko Myung-joon (first baseman), Han Yu-sum (designated hitter), Lee Ji-young (catcher), Ahn Sang-hyun (third baseman), Chae Hyun-woo (left fielder), and Oh Tae-gon (right fielder) in the home game against the LG Twins at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th.

It's a pity that Choi Jeong, who made a tie solo shot the previous day, was absent,




Choi Jung-eun returned to the first team only on the 2nd due to a right hamstring injury ahead of this season.

Since his return, he has shown off his slugging capability. His batting average dropped to 221 (15 hits in 68 times at bat) in 20 games, but he has eight homers and 20 RBIs.

In the previous day's game, he also played as the third batter and got on base with a hit ball in his first at-bat, and scored a tiebreaking RBI with a double at the bottom of the third inning, trailing 0-1, and hit a tiebreaking solo shot at the bottom of the fifth inning, leading his team to come from behind.




However, he started off the bench on this day due to a bad condition near his previous injured area.

SSG coach Lee Soo-yong said, `After yesterday's game (24th), I heard that I felt a little tight. try not to overdo it"He said "He said that he felt a little anxious while sprinting."

When asked if it was an injured part, coach Lee said "I think it's the next part. It's not big, but he said that, so he said to prepare it only as a substitute. There is still a lot of games left to play."




Meanwhile, SSG registered pitcher Song Young-jin in the first team and tried to be the second pitcher after starter Jeon Young-joon, but Song Young-jin suddenly complained of finger discomfort during pre-game training, which failed to register for the first team. "I'm going to put (Song) Young-jin in the first team today and put (former) Young-jun in the back after seeing him throw it," coach Lee said. "If you throw it well, it keeps going, but if not, you can move quickly." However, Song Young-jin's right middle finger was uncomfortable during the catch before the game, so the first-team call-up failed. Song Young-jin will check his condition first and decide whether to have a checkup or not.
