The fall baseball has been frustrated, but the Lotte Giants end the season normally. Kia Tigers' Kim Do-young's 40 (homerun)-40 (stealing) with one game left against Lotte is also expected to be a significant variable.

Starting with the game against the Doosan Bears on the 26th, Lotte will play home games against the NC Dinos on the 27th and the KIA Tigers on the 28th. The final game of the season is an away game against Changwon NC on October 1.

Lotte canceled Park Jin-jin, who showed his first quality start (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs) from the first team the day before, and instead raised Lee Min-seok.



Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung, who met at Sajik Stadium, said "Just because it's the rest of the game, other pitchers don't start. We can give young pitchers a chance in the bullpen, but the starter will be in a normal rotation."

Park Se-woong was selected on the day. Coach Kim Tae-hyung explained, "(Han) Hyun-hee will start tomorrow and Barnes will start on the 28th."



However, regarding Wilkerson, who was fatigued because he did not skip the rotation throughout the season, "I will ask the player himself."

Wilkerson will take the mound in Changwon's final match against NC as scheduled. However, it is the last game of the season and is not expected to pitch as many innings as it has nothing to do with the ranking.

With the course of the fifth round somewhat obscured, baseball's attention is on the milestone. In the case of Lotte, Reyes is challenging for the most hits (201 Seo Geon-chang in 2014) in a season. Reyes hit 196 by the previous day. You have to hit six in four games to set a new record.

Reyes is also playing in a full-length game this season. Unless there is a special reason, he will start the rest of the game as the second batter. The head coach said, `We have to go as far as the best record goes, not only the new record", he explained. In the case of the position, he recommended a designated hitter for rest, but Reyes himself answered that it is good to play defense.

Director Kim Tae-hyung said, `The foreigners did their partIn particular, he expressed his desire to be with Reyes next year.

Above all, the key is whether KIA Kim Do-young succeeds 40-40 or not. We've already reached 40 steals. KIA has three more games to go. Kim Do-young and Barnes have one hit and one walk from eight times at bat. But that one hit is a home run.
