KIA established the starting lineup with Park Chan-ho (striker), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Wizdum (third baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Lee Woo-sung (left fielder), Oh Sun-woo (first baseman), Kim Tae-gun (fosu), and Kim Ho-ryeong (middle fielder) at the home game against the LG Twins at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd.
On this day, LG's starting pitcher was left-handed Song Seung-ki, so three left-handed hitters were Choi Hyung-woo, Na Sung-beom, and Oh Sun-woo, and six right-handed hitters were used.
Song Seung-ki took the mound twice against KIA and won one game, but his ERA was not good at 11.05.
On April 4, he allowed seven hits and two runs in five innings in Jamsil, and although his team won 8-2 to become the winning pitcher, he showed sluggish performance of seven hits (one home run) and seven runs in two ⅓ innings in Jamsil on June 28. At that time, LG took a big lead of 1-7 and even tied 7-7, but KIA won 9-8, scoring two runs in the sixth inning.
This is the first time Song Seung-ki will start in Gwangju.
KIA's batting average against Song Seung-ki is high at 282. There are many good hitters.
Choi Hyung-woo showed a strong performance with four hits in five at-bats and two doubles, and Patrick Wisdom also hit two hits in five at-bats and one home run.
Lee Woo-sung is also strong with two hits and one walk in two at-bats. Kim Ho-ryeong and Kim Tae-gun also hit one at-bats each. Na Sung-bum was not very good, with no hits and one walk in two at-bats and Park Chan-ho had no hits in two at-bats.
KIA's starting nail is strong against LG.
Last year, he pitched in five games and had a very good performance with three wins, no losses and an ERA of 2.43, and although he did not record a win or loss in the first half of this year, he recorded a quality start of two runs in six innings. On April 27, he faced Lim Chan-kyu in Gwangju, and led 2-0 with one hit and two walks until the fifth inning, then gave up two hits and two walks in the sixth inning and allowed two runs to go down from a 2-2 tie. At that time, KIA won 3-2 with Kim Sun-bin's timely hit and bullpen pitching.
Since KIA will hold six consecutive games with LG and Lotte, the second-place competitors this week, it is necessary to boost the atmosphere with a victory on the first day.
