KIA will face SSG Landers in an away match at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 21st. This day is a left-hander ace match between the two teams born in 1988. Yang Hyun-jong of KIA and Kim Kwang-hyun of SSG will take the mound.
KIA, which has won five consecutive games, also changed its lineup placement on the day. Left fielder Lee Chang-jin and shortstop Park Chan-ho came out as 'Table Setters', while third baseman Patrick Wisdom, designated hitter Choi Hyung-woo and first baseman Hwang Dae-in were in the center lineup.
Oh Sun-woo, who has been batting .288 with seven home runs and 25 RBIs in 53 games this season, was absent from the lineup on the day. This is why Hwang Dae-in will play as the starting first baseman instead.
Director Lee Bum-ho said "Sunwoo hit it last time, and he said it didn't seem to fit well with Kwang-hyun. There is a type of pitcher who is struggling more than the original batters. For Oh Sun-woo, Kim Kwang-hyun seems to be such a pitcher. When I asked him last time during the game, he said he couldn't see the slider well. "Sunwoo is running too much anyway, and it's time to take a break. I can go out later in the day. I played well a few days ago, so I excluded it as a rest, rather than being disturbed by hitting the type I didn't want", he explained.
The bottom batting order is right fielder Choi Won-joon, center fielder Kim Ho-ryeong, catcher Kim Tae-gun, and second baseman Park Min.
