In an away game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers in Incheon on the 25th, LG formed the starting lineup with Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Shin Min-jae (center fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Lee Young-bin (second baseman), and Lee Joo-heon (catcher).
The point of the day is that Park Hae-min, a center fielder, was absent and Shin Min-jae started as a second-center fielder.
Park Hae-min has recently had a bad feeling of hitting. Although he had a dramatic tie hit in the top of the eighth inning the previous day, he was excluded from the starting lineup.
Shin Min-jae is the main second baseman, but it is his first start since he came to the first team on the 22nd. He played a big defense as a center fielder against Lotte in Busan on the 22nd, and this time he will start as a center fielder.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop explained, "'Park Hae-min is participating too much, so we decided to give him a break.'" and "'This is a good time to test Shin Min-jae's center fielder as well."
Coach Yeom said, `Defence is very important in the recent era of pitching and hitting,' adding, `"Choi Won-young is the only player on our team to replace Park Hae-min, but it is too much for Won-young to start. That's why we need a center fielder to start when Park Hae-min is injured or sluggish, so we test Shin Min-jae. Min-jae may play in center field because there is (former) Bon-hyuk at second base.
That doesn't mean Shin Min-jae will leave second base. Manager Yeom said, `Shin Min-jae is the main second baseman. The center fielder prevented misunderstanding by saying, `Just in case.'
