LG put Kim Hyun-jong, a second-year player, on the starting list for the 2025 KBO League KIA Tigers match to be held in Jamsil on the 14th. As LG lost two consecutive games, its gap with second-place Hanwha was reduced to 2.5 games. Hanwha is on a three-game winning streak.
LG's batting order was made up of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Moon Sung-joo (right wing), Austin (1st baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (3rd baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Kim Hyun-jong (left wing) and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). The starting pitcher is Tolhurst.
Kim Hyun-jong is a right-handed outfielder who was selected as the 18th overall in the second round of the 2024 rookie draft. He is from Incheon High School.
He had three hits in 16 at-bats in 17 games last year. This year, he played in three games and played in two at-bats.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said he would give Kim Hyun-jong more opportunities in the future.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `I was worried a lot about the resources to run against him. I decided to give Hyunjong that role. Hyunjong will probably carry out the mission even after entering the postseason" he explained.
Hong Chang-ki is on standby as a substitute on this day as well. Hong Chang-ki, who had a hit in his first at-bat before returning to the game on the 13th, will now be put into the match.
Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `I'm going to the climax because I had a hit yesterday. Yesterday, it was planned to use it in a comfortable situation. I told them that I'm going to be in a tight situation today," he said.
