In the home game against SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 10th, LG's starting lineup consisted of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left fielder), Austin (1st baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Park Dong-won (captor), Moon Sung-joo (right fielder), Koo Bon-hyuk (striker), Kim Joo-sung (third baseman), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder).
LG lowered infielders Oh Ji-hwan and Son Yong-joon to the second division on the 9th, the previous day, and called up Kim Joo-sung and Kim Min-soo to the first division on the 10th.
Kim Joo-sung is a prospect who graduated from Hwimungo University and joined as the 14th member of the second round in 2016, and played in five games in the first division this season, recording one hit in one at-bats. In the Futures League, he has a batting average of 299 (29 hits in 100 at-bats) and one home run and eight RBIs in 33 games.
Although Lee Young-bin is in the first division, he is a left-handed hitter, so he seems to have started right-handed hitter Kim Joo-sung to face SSG's left-handed starter Kim Gun-woo.
Oh Ji-hwan played in 61 games this season and had a batting average of 2.18 (39 hits in 179 at-bats) with six home runs and 26 RBIs.
Oh Ji-hwan, who hit not bad at 276 until April, fell to 184. (14 hits in 76 at-bats) in May and came down to 63 (1 hit in 16 at-bats) in June, which was less than 10%.
Recently, he was excluded from the starting lineup. He started on the bench for four consecutive games against the Changwon NC Dinos on the 5th and played as a substitute in three games.
Manager Yeom said, `Since I was hit by a pitcher's ball in Busan before, my balance has been broken. I think I'll get better if I do basic skills trainingHe tried to increase Oh Ji-hwan's sense of hitting by increasing the training time. Nevertheless, as there were no positive signals, it seems that they eventually decided that sufficient training time was needed in the second division.
