Hanwha will face the Kiwoom Heroes at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 21st.
While the game was canceled the previous day (20th) due to rain, Hanwha came out with the same lineup. Lee Jin-young (right wing), Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left wing), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Lee Do-yoon (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker) were listed in the starting lineup. The starting pitcher for Hanwha is Cody Ponce. Kiwoom will have rookie Jung Hyun-woo.
Hanwha registered Shim Woo-joon and Liberato in the first-team entry on the 20th. Liberato, who will wear Hanwha's uniform as a substitute for Esteban Floral, is set to make his debut.
Liberato played in the Mexican League this season and played in 29 games, batting .373 (47 hits in 126 times at bat), eight homers, 29 RBIs, and three steals (OPS) 1.138, raising expectations for his batting.

However, his debut match is uncertain again on the 21st. The rain has not stopped since the previous day, and the rain clouds have continued until late in the evening as well as at 5 o'clock, the start time of the game.
It is said that the drainage time of Daejeon Hanwha Life Ball Park, a new stadium, is good, but there are large pools of water throughout the ground. Maintenance is also expected to take time. The plan is to observe the state of rain clouds and decide whether to start or not.
