SSG Landers operated the left-handed line for 'Tado Lim Chan-kyu'.

SSG has formed a starting lineup of Jihoon Choi (center fielder), Choo Shin-soo (designated hitter), Choi Jung (third baseman), Eredia (left fielder), Han Yu-sum (right fielder), Park Sung-han (striker), Jeon Ui-san (first baseman), Kim Min-sik (possessed) and Jung Joon-jae (second baseman) in an away game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 21st. Except for Choi Jung and Herredia, all seven are left-handed hitters.

It can be seen as a lineup that is conscious of LG starter Lim Chan-kyu. SSG manager Lee Soo-yong said, `Oh Tae-gon couldn't get any hits to Lim Chan-kyu. And (former) Eui-san said he was well prepared, so he decided to give his regret to Eui-san "The catcher decided to pay Kim Min-sik because Lee Ji-young went out yesterday. We didn't play well against today's starter Lim Chan-kyu and tomorrow's starter Choi Won-tae. "When I look at the data, left-handed hitters were better than right-handed hitters, so I ended up hitting left-handed hitters."

Lim Chan-kyu is strong against SSG. He has 7 wins, 5 losses and a 4.72 ERA this year, but he is good with one win, no loss and a 2.08 ERA in two games against SSG. Last year, he had four wins and no losses in four games and a 2.05 ERA. His performance over the past two years has been five wins, no losses, and an ERA of 2.06 in six games. He has won the most among the nine teams and has the best ERA.

Oh Tae-gon, who was excluded from the selection on the day, had no hits in five at-bats, and Lee Ji-young also had no hits in two at-bats.

Han Yu-sum was the best against Lim Chan-kyu with a batting average of .400 with four hits in 10 at-bats.

However, other left-handed hitters also failed to perform well against Lim Chan-kyu. Choo Shin-soo remained 0-for-8 with Park Sung-han 1 for 15 and Kim Min-sik only 1 for 7.

Choi Jung-eun had a good batting average of 294 with 5 hits in 17 at-bats, but Herredia had only 14 hits with 2 hits in 14 at-bats.

The entire SSG batter had a batting average of only 220 for Lim Chan-kyu.
