Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung threw the best big match of the week and three consecutive games against Hanwha Eagles.
Lotte will play three consecutive games during the week against the Hanwha Eagles at Sajik Stadium in Busan from the 17th. Hanwha beat the LG Twins on the 15th to take the top spot. The hottest team this season. But Lotte is also tough. Na Seung-yeop, Yoon Dong-hee, Hwang Sung-bin and Jang Doo-sung are all out due to injuries, but they remain in third place. It is only 3.5 games apart from Hanwha. Depending on the results of the three consecutive games, he may join the lead fight.
When asked about his determination to play in a big match ahead of the game, Kim laughed, saying, `Thank you for judging us highly.' Manager Kim said seriously "Hanwha is a team with very good pitching power. We also have injured players, but we have to win. I'll try it. I will do my best to win as much as I can."
The question is selection. Davidson is playing in the game on the 17th, but it is not easy to make a rotation for the remaining two games. Park Se-woong and Kim Jin-wook are both in the second division due to poor performance, and Na Kyun-an also failed to give a clear belief in the starting position. It was Park Se-woong's turn to play on Thursday the 19th, but there is no pitcher to throw.
Originally, Na Kyun-an was scheduled to enter on the 18th, and a pitcher was scheduled to be decided separately on the 19th. However, the rotation was finalized ahead of the first game. On the 18th, left-hander Hong Min-ki will come out, and on the 19th, Na Kyun-an will come out. Hong Min-ki has played six games in the first team since joining Lotte in 2020. He took the mound only as relief in two games this year. He will be in charge of selecting important games.
Coach Kim said of Park Se-woong, `I'll upload it right away after 10 days' completion.' If that happens, Park Se-woong will start against the Samsung Lions on the 20th.
