Ryu Ji-hyun's starting lineup came out in the first game. The Korean baseball team will play a warm-up match against the Czech national team in a K-baseball series at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 8th.
It is the first real game of coach Ryu Ji-hyun, who was appointed as the national team coach in February. It is a warm-up match, and the best lineup including LG Twins and Hanwha Eagles players, who have played the Korean Series until recently, was not created to give them time to recover. Still, Noh Si-hwan will start as the designated hitter, Park Hae-min as the center fielder, and Choi Jae-hoon as the catcher.
The national team consisted of Kim Joo-won (striker), Ahn Hyun-min (right wing), Song Sung-moon (second baseman), Noh Si-hwan (designated hitter), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Han Dong-hee (first baseman), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (possession), and Kim Sung-yoon (left wing).
Coach Ryu said, `The fielders gave it as much thought as possible because it was a limited commercialization,' and `I think the point of today's lineup is Ahn Hyun-min's No. 2 card.'
Ahn Hyun-min played as the center hitter for KT Wiz this season, hitting a batting average of 334%, on-base percentage of 448, and slugging percentage of 50.7%. He ranked first in on-base percentage and second in batting average. He played in 112 games and showed his power to hit 22 home runs.
Coach Ryu, who put Ahn Hyun-min as No. 2, said, `I thought Ahn Hyun-min's performance in the league this season was the most accurate player who can hit"There are many good records, but the wRC+ record was high. I placed the batting order at No. 2 in the calculation that a higher batting order in the front would help score production."
wRC+ is short for 'weighed Runs Created Plus' and refers to 'adjusted scoring ability'. It's a numerical expression of how effectively a batter generates a score. If the average is 100 and exceeds 100, it can be seen that it generates more points than the average.
According to Stattiz, Ahn Hyun-min's wRC+ was the No. 1 hitter in the KBO league this season with 182.7. LG's Austin Dean was 171.6 in second place, Song Sung-moon was 164.1 in third place, Yang Eui-ji of Doosan was 162.8 in fourth place, and Samsung Diaz was 159.7.

Coach Ryu said, "Wouldn't Kim Young-woong's good performance through the postseason come out naturally in today's first game?" and added, "Kim Young-woong was also called up in the Premier 12 last year but failed to complete it due to a back injury, so he was very serious and working hard in the process of preparing this time."
Coach Ryu hinted that LG and Hanwha players, including Park Dong-won, Moon Bo-kyung, Shin Min-jae, and Moon Hyun-bin, who were excluded from the selection on the day, will come out.
