Doosan Bears' Jake Cave, who ranks fourth overall in batting average and No. 1 foreign hitter, returned in a day.

On the last day of the nine consecutive games against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 7th, Doosan set up the starting lineup with Jung Soo-bin (center fielder), Cave (right fielder), Yang Eui-ji (designated hitter), Kim Jae-hwan (left fielder), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Oh Myung-jin (third baseman), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Kim Ki-yeon (possession) and Park Joon-young (striker).

Cave, who was excluded from the starting lineup the previous day due to knee pain and took a complete rest without coming out as a pinch hitter, started batting training with the main hitters before the game and then played catch in the outfield, burning his will to play in the game. And he was listed in the starting lineup.




Cave quickly adapted to the KBO league by batting .333 (36 hits in 109 at-bats) with two home runs and 20 RBIs in 28 games this season. He is ranked fourth in the overall batting average after NC Son Ah-seop (0.364), Samsung Kim Sung-yoon (0.345), and SSG Jihoon Choi (0.333).

Doosan, which has 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in this nine consecutive games, will start Jack Rogue in the last game. Jack Rogue is 1-3 with a 3.67 ERA in seven appearances this season. In the first four games, the number of runs increased as the number of pitches exceeded 70, but he has been showing good pitching recently.

In the match against Lotte on April 26, he pitched seven innings for the first time with seven hits, 10 strikeouts, and two runs in seven innings, and he started against the Samsung Lions in Daegu on the 2nd and recorded a quality start with two hits, three walks, two strikeouts, and one run (non-earned) in six innings. He came down with the winning pitcher requirements with a 2-1 lead, but unfortunately, his team failed to become a winning pitcher with a 2-6 upset.




LG announced Choi Chae-heung, who came as a compensation player for Choi Won-tae, who transferred to the FA, to start. It is Choi Chae-heung's first appearance in the first division since his transfer to LG, which he has thrown in the Futures League.
