KIA, Chan-ho, and Do-young, who are trying to win 6 consecutive games? 'If you rest like this...'
A game between KIA and Lotte at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 23rd.

KIA Tigers shortstop Park Chan-ho and third baseman Kim Do-young were excluded from the starting lineup.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho excluded both players from the starting list for the Hanwha Eagles match at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 21st. It is rare for the two players to be excluded from the starting lineup this season. Hong Jong-pyo will be in Park Chan-ho's vacant position and Byun Woo-hyuk will be in the third baseman's position.

KIA has booked five consecutive wins and a winning series with consecutive wins against Hanwha on the 19th and 20th. It seems to be entering a leading solo system by widening the gap with the second-place group.

Regarding the exclusion of Park Chan-ho and Kim Do-young from the starting lineup, coach Lee said, `We have not been able to exclude them because there has been no situation to replace them", he said, revealing that the decision was made in consideration of the accumulation of fatigue. "If you take a break today, you can take two days off until tomorrow (Lee Dong-il)"It's not perfect, but just missing the starting lineup will change the preparation process, so I think it will help (the stamina)," he added. "Of course, if the team is in need, we can consider using a substitute as a substitute."

Seo Geon-chang (first baseman), Choi Won-jun (center fielder), Socrates (left fielder), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Han Jun-su (captor), Byun Woo-hyuk (third baseman), and Hong Jong-pyo (striker) will start. Hwang Dong-ha will start.
