Hanwha Eagles unveiled the starting lineup.

Hanwha will face the LG Twins at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 26th.

This is the last chance for Hanwha to seek the No. 1 spot.




Hanwha, which is in second place, has 80 wins, three draws, and 55 losses. LG, ranked first, has 84 wins, 3 draws, and 52 losses. The difference between the two teams is 3.5 games. If Hanwha wins all three consecutive games against LG, it will be narrowed to 0.5 games. The opportunity to 'number one on one' has been missed, but hope is alive. LG's number one magic number is three.

On this day, Hanwha organized the starting lineup in the order of Lee Jin-young (designated hitter), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker).

Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, `Lee Jin-young will be the designated hitter today. And Kim Tae-yeon hasn't played since getting hurt, but he's coming out as a starter today."




Kim Tae-yeon has a batting average of 261, 19 RBIs, three home runs, and an OPS (long hitting percentage + on-base percentage) of 0.676 in 114 games this season. On the 13th, he was hit in the face by pitcher Ha Young-min's fastball during a bunt against Kiwoom in Daejeon. He immediately moved to the hospital, and fortunately, he was told that there was no unusual occurrence. However, suture surgery was performed, and a short break was needed.

Kim Tae-yeon, who played his first game since returning to the game against KIA on the 17th, played as a substitute in four games. On the 25th, he played at-bat for the first time against Doosan Bears in Jamsil, and had a hit.

Ryu Hyun-jin will be the starting pitcher for Hanwha on the day. He has 9 wins and 7 losses with a 3.31 ERA in 25 games this season.




Coach Kim said, `I think we should play the first game well and go well until the end. Ryu Hyun-jin also has a good pace. It's a game with 10 wins at stake. I hope to achieve 10 wins in the last game. I hope the batters help me well."
