Ahead of the match on the 28th, KIA manager Lee Bum-ho recalled the moment when Kim Ki-hoon was substituted. Director Lee said, "(Kim) Ki-hoon said he was the best. So I called him out of the bullpen."I don't think Sang-hyun will be able to get in the batter's box."They say '. Kim Ki-hoon's swing was good. He certainly looked like the fourth hitter at Dongseong High School.




Swing also didn't bother to stop him. Manager Lee was also an under-pitcher, and he's not the type not to hit just because I told him not to. I told him to relax his sides well. I didn't expect to swing so fast."

KIA won the game on the 27th and lost six consecutive games. The ranking is down to eighth place, but it is three games behind Lotte KT, which is tied for fourth. It's a long way to catch up. Director Lee said, `Sunday is the game from today. Today is especially important. Nail and Oler can go out and play an even match, but they have to win today. Sang-hyun also pitched 2 innings, but I think he can go out with only 20 pitches"declared an all-out war.

KIA composed the starting lineup in the order of Park Chan-ho (striker), Patrick Wisdom (third baseman), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Oh Sun-woo (first baseman), Kim Seok-hwan (left fielder), Han Jun-su (catcher), and Kim Ho-ryeong (middle fielder).
