The LG Twins are also waiting for the title 'Cheongunmanma' ahead of the fall baseball season. Moon Sung-joo's return is imminent.

LG will play against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 10th. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, whom we met before the game, said, `We plan to play in the first team as early as the 12th. I played for Futures until today, and I'll run until tomorrow and watch my physical condition."

Moon Sung-joo played left field in the Futures League match against the Armed Forces Sports Unit (Sangju) and recorded two hits in three at-bats. Moon Sung-joo, who left in mid-July due to fine damage to his right radiating muscles, is adjusting his sense of practice through the Futures League in September. He has already played in four games and is displaying six hits from 12 times at bat. He also played in three games in the outfield.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop is cautious. Moon Sung-joo has already left twice this season due to injuries and is also a player with many minor injuries.

Moon Sung-joo has a batting average of 318.46 RBIs with an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.810 and 13 stolen bases this season. The on-base percentage reaches 420%, which is more than 10% higher than the batting average.

The registration of the first team is expected to take place as early as the 12th or the weekend. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Of course, it's helpful if you come up. If Moon Sung-joo enters the second position, the balance of the batters changes. I think I already wanted to post it when I played one game"But it's not my thing to touch. It will be decided in the training part." He also added that he listens to the advice of experts even when he needs three consecutive games such as Yoo Young-chan and Kim Jin-sung.

Austin was taken out as a designated hitter for a break, and was put on first base to give Lee Young-bin, who hit two home runs against the Hanwha Eagles on the 8th. The starter is Lim Chan-kyu.
