Hanwha will face SSG Landers at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 23rd. The Hanwha Eagles have recently lost six straight games. On the previous day (22nd), Cody Ponce took the mound against SSG and pitched 7 scoreless innings, but lost 0-1 after extra-time struggles as he failed to target the opposing pitcher.
Hanwha, which failed to break its losing streak, revised its starting lineup on the 23rd. Right fielder Son Ah-seop was placed in the second batting order, not No. 1 'leadoff', and center fielder Lee Won-seok took over the first batting order.
In addition, foreign hitter Liberato was excluded. Liberato complained of discomfort in his right shoulder after falling for a catch during defense of the game the previous day and was later replaced.
Fortunately, it's not a major injury, but I'm going to take a break for about three days to see the condition. Manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `It's not a big injury. It's not enough to take it out of the entry, but I think I'll have to take two games this weekend and three days off until Monday."
Left fielder Moon Hyun-bin, third baseman Noh Si-hwan, and designated hitter Chae Eun-sung were placed in the 3rd to 5th 'clean-up trio'. In the case of Chae Eun-sung, he was bruised by a foul ball he hit in the leg during the game on the 22nd, and will be the designated hitter for management. Catcher Choi Jae-hoon was also excluded from rest due to his recent number of minor injuries.
First baseman Kim Tae-yeon, second baseman Lee Do-yoon, catcher Lee Jae-won and shortstop Shim Woo-joon were placed in the bottom batting order. The starting pitcher is Hwang Jun-seo.
