SSG operates a "clean-up trio" leading to shortstop Park Sung-han and left fielder Guillermo Herredia 'Tablesetter', followed by third baseman Choi Jeong, designated hitter Han Yoo-som, and first baseman Ko Myung-jun. Center fielder Jihoon Choi was then placed in the sixth batting order, while right fielder Kim Sung-wook, second baseman Ahn Sang-hyun, and catcher Lee Ji-young were placed in the lower batting order.
Manager Lee Soo-yong said of Lee Ji-young, `I think Hyung-woo played two games a little nervous. The body looks a little heavy, too. Ji-young has played Won Tae-in's ball well over the past three years. He explained the background to Hyung-woo, saying, `I told my seniors that the starting business trip will be a study.'
