KT Wiz and SSG Landers will play a fifth-place ranking match against KT Wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 1st. SSG, which defeated the Kiwoom Heroes 7-2 at home in Incheon on Sept. 30, finished the regular season tied for fifth with KT. Through the ranking match on this day, the team that will advance to the wild card final will be confirmed.
KT's Um Sang-baek and SSG's Roenis Elias will take the mound as the starting pitcher. In SSG, Jihoon Choi, who has a thigh injury, will start as the first designated hitter. Jihoon Choi, who recently only took the batter's box as a pinch hitter due to his poor injury, was included in the lineup.
College graduate rookie Chung Hyun-seung will play as the ninth batter and center fielder, while Oh Tae-gon will also recover from his injury and start as the eighth hitter and first baseman.
Manager Lee Sung-yong said, `I've been getting treatment and reinforcing a lot, so I'm more than 80% better now. He is very willing to play the game. So he will be the designated hitter. The starting center fielder is Chung Hyeon-seung. Oh Tae-gon is also in good physical condition today, so he will take first base. "Since it's a tight game, defense is also important."
Choo Shin-soo, who played the final game of the regular season of tears in the final home game of Incheon the day before, may be able to stand by as a pinch hitter. Director Lee Soo-yong said, `I saw you batting training today, and you got a lot better. It's much better than yesterday. I haven't been able to swing myself in the meantime, but it's changed a little since yesterday. I've been preparing my own way before that, but I'm still thinking about it today. You look so good swinging today. I think we need to think about whether there is a timing to use it in the middle of the game."
SSG is Jihoon Choi (designated hitter), Jung Joon-jae (second baseman), Choi Jung (third baseman), Eredia (left fielder), Han Yu-sum (right fielder), Lee Ji-young (catcher), Park Sung-han (striker), Oh Tae-gon (first baseman), Jung Hyun-sung (middle fielder) starter Elias.
