SSG Landers made up the 20-something infield. In the home game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 5th, SSG formed the starting lineup of Choo Shin-soo (designated hitter), Jung Joon-jae (second baseman), Eredia (left fielder), Han Yu-sum (right fielder), Ko Myung-joon (first baseman), Oh Tae-gon (center fielder), Lee Ji-young (catcher), Park Ji-hwan (third baseman), and Ahn Sang-hyun (striker).
Choi Jung, the main third baseman, and Park Sung-han, the shortstop, were also excluded from the starting lineup. Choi Jeong is preparing for the Lotte Giants match on the 7th. Park Sung-han, who came out as a pinch hitter the previous day and has also played defense since then, will also come out as a pinch hitter on the same day and defend about five innings.
On the previous day, coach Lee Sung-yong, who deployed veteran shortstop Kim Sung-hyun (37) to first baseman Ko Myung-joon (22), second baseman Jung Joon-jae (21), and third baseman Park Ji-hwan (19), also used shortstop Ahn Sang-hyun (27) to make the infield team in their 20s.
This year, Kim Sung-hyun went 0-for-4 against LG starter Choi Won-tae.
Choi Jung hit the best batting average of 571 (4 hits in 7 at-bats) against Choi Won-tae and one home run, but it's a pity that he can't come out. Choo Shin-soo had two hits in four at-bats, Eredia had five hits in 11 at-bats (0.455), and Oh Tae-gon had two hits in six at-bats.
