Choi Won-tae of the LG Twins, who was excluded from the starting lineup due to dizziness due to Lee Seok-seong, is scheduled to be the second pitcher.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said before the Lotte Giants match at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 19th, "'Choi Won-tae said he was in good condition, so I decided to throw today.'"

Choi Won-tae was originally scheduled to start the game on the 19th. However, he was unable to take the mound due to sudden dizziness. On the 18th, he did not come to Sajik Stadium at all and took a rest at his accommodation.

Coach Yeom said, `Yesterday (18th) I was not able to go out because I was dizzy, so I rested at the accommodation. I couldn't even go to the hospital because the hospital was not open. "So I told him at first that I was going to start with Lee Ji-gang as a starter." he said about the situation the day before.

Since then, Choi Won-tae said his condition has improved, and LG also announced it and left the possibility of taking the mound on the 19th. And Lee Ji-gang took the mound at the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, and Choi Won-tae started the game on the 19th, but LG predicted Lim Joon-hyung to start after the game.

Manager Yeom responded, "'Choi Won-tae's condition improved after the interview with the game, so he said he might be able to take the mound on the 19th, and he used Lee Ji-gang first because it was difficult to put in a must-win group because he was trailing in the seventh inning.'"Choi Won-tae could not be predicted as a starter even though he improved." "I used Lim Joon-hyung as a starter because I have to deal with one batter unconditionally, but I can't feel dizzy just in case."

And Choi Won-tae had a hospital check-up earlier in the day and was found to have no major problem with mild otolithiasis, and Choi Won-tae also said he had no problem throwing it, so he decided to throw it right after Lim Joon-hyung. Coach Yeom added, `If Lim Joon-hyung is not good in the first inning, he may take the mound quickly.'
