Hanwha Eagles have changed their lineup.

Hanwha will play the second game of the postseason Korean Series against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 27th.

Hanwha lost to LG 2-8 in the first game. Moon Dong-joo, who was a starting pitcher, struggled with four runs (three earned) in four ⅓ innings, and the bullpen that followed also lost a run.




Hanwha, which had only seven hits the previous day, changed its lineup. Son Ah-seop, who came out as a leadoff, was changed to the sixth batter, and Hwang Young-mook was the first hitter. Son Ah-seop was acquired in a trade at the end of July.

Son recorded 263 percent in the playoffs. He had two hits in the first game and then slowed down in the next three games. However, he was revived with two hits in Game 5. In the first game of the Korean Series, he also hit his first at-bat, but after that, he was disappointed, striking out two.

On this day, Hanwha organized the starting lineup in the order of Hwang Young-mook (2nd baseman), Luis Liberato (2nd baseman), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (3rd baseman), Chae Eun-sung (1st baseman), Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Ha Joo-seok (striker), Choi In-ho (right fielder), and Choi Jae-hoon (catcher).




On the same day, Hanwha announced Ryu Hyun-jin as its starting pitcher.

Ryu Hyun-jin went 9-7 with a 3.23 ERA in 26 games this season. In the third playoff game held in Daegu on the 21st, he showed good performance until the third inning. However, with a run scored in the fourth inning, he came down the mound with six hits (two home runs), one walk, three strikeouts and four runs in four innings.

Against LG, he pitched 25 innings four times and was strong with one win, no loss, and an ERA of 1.08.




Lim Chan-kyu will take the mound as a starter for LG. Yoni Chirinos was a strong candidate, but Lim Chan-kyu came out first due to the symptoms of the dam.

Lim Chan-kyu has 11 wins, 7 losses and a 3.03 ERA in 27 games this season. He showed good performance against Hanwha with 2-1 losses and an ERA of 1.59 in five games.

LG formed the starting lineup in the order of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin Dean (designated hitter), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Moon Bo-kyung (first baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Koo Bon-hyuk (third baseman), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder).

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Chirinos is still undergoing treatment. I think I should go down after the interview. The best-case scenario is Game 3. I'm not going to use it in a hurry. I'm going to use it to recover."

Coach Yeom continued, "(Ryu) Hyun-jin is important to hit the ball well." I think Lim Chan-gyu will basically throw well in Jamsil and take it equally. I think it should be the basic foothold for victory. I think it's important for left-handed hitters to see how well Hyunjin plays the ball" he said.
