Is it because of the poor batting performance. Stone Garrett, who even recorded a defensive error, was excluded from the starting lineup.

Kiwoom Heroes will face the KIA Tigers at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 26th in the last of three consecutive games during the week.

On this day, Kiwoom made changes to the starting lineup. Foreign batter Stone will be out, and playing coach Lee Yong-kyu will be the starting left fielder. The center fielder is Lee Joo-hyung and the right fielder is Joo Sung-won.




Stone is an injury replacement for Ruben Cardinez, who left with an elbow injury. He also has a big league career, and this season, he played for Triple-A and received an offer from Kiwoom while preparing to advance to the Mexican League.

He is a batter with both power and speed, but he is still in the process of adapting to the KBO league.

Stone went 5 for 35 with a .143 batting average and five RBIs in nine games. In particular, he was silent with no hits in eight at-bats in two games in the series against KIA this week, and even recorded an absurd defensive error in the game on the 25th.




In the top of the ninth inning, KIA Lee Chang-jin made a mistake by completely misjudging the direction of an ordinary fly ball hit by KIA Lee Chang-jin with no outs and runners on the first and second bases. The play was recorded as a right field catch error. Stone also looked frustrated after the error.

Kiwoom suffered a 3-6 complete defeat as this error led to additional runs. Stone remained silent by striking out standing against KIA closer Jung Hae-young in the bottom of the ninth inning immediately after the error.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki, who met with reporters ahead of the KIA match on the 26th, said "After coming to Korea, I think I've been doing it without a rest and without a break until now. I think it would be better to watch it in the dugout for a day and take a deep breath and re-establish it" he said.

Playing as a substitute in the second half of the game doesn't mean much right now. It is judged that watching baseball on the bench for about a day is better for refreshing.

Director Hong said "Stone himself must be in a very hurry right now. You may be more impatient because the records you thought of in the U.S. have not been released"You have to overcome the mental part by yourself. Since we brought him as an alternative foreign player, it seems that it is the job of the field to wait for his skills to come out. I've been getting along with the players so far," he predicted positively.
