The LG Twins will face the Samsung Lions with No. 4 Kim Hyun-soo.
In the first round of the playoffs against Samsung at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 13th, LG formed the starting lineup with Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Austin (first baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Moon Sung-joo (designated hitter).
LG, which won 4-1 amid changes in the lineup to No. 4 Oh Ji-hwan, No. 5 Kim Hyun-soo, and No. 6 Moon Bo-kyung in the 5th round of the last semi-PO, changed the positions of Oh Ji-hwan and Kim Hyun-soo in the changed lineup again this time.
The most curious thing about the LG lineup in the first round of the PO was whether Moon Bo-kyung, who had been active as the fourth batter and went down to the sixth in the fifth round of the semi-PO, would return to the fourth. Moon Bo-kyung, who had no hits in 15 at-bats until Game 4, reported his first hit with a right-handed hit after going down to Game 6. His semi-PO performance was one hit in 19 at-bats, hitting a batting average of 53 with three walks and four strikeouts.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said of Moon Bo-kyung after the 5th round of the semi-PO, "I don't think I'll go back to No. 4 in the 1st round."I'll think of batting order while watching the game" he said.
He also thought about the position of Oh Ji-hwan and Kim Hyun-soo, but he placed Kim Hyun-soo, who is in better batting condition, in No. 4.
Kim Hyun-soo had five hits in 19 at-bats and a batting average of 263 in the semi-PO, but he had no hits in the first and second games, but after reporting his first hit in the third game, he exploded three hits, including a solo shot in the fourth game. In Game 5, he also hit a valuable RBI double when hitting the top fence home run bar, contributing to the victory. When it comes to three to five hits, it was a good performance with a batting average of 455 (5 hits in 11 at-bats) and one home run and three RBIs.
