The LG Twins, who won last year's championship team KIA Tigers and the runner-up Samsung Lions, will meet KT Wiz, who met in the semi-playoff last year.

LG will play its third practice game against KT at Kinosa Stadium in Okinawa, Japan on the 2nd.

LG's starting lineup was composed of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Austin (first baseman), Kim Hyun-soo (left wing), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Koo Bon-hyuk (third baseman), and Shin Min-jae (second baseman).

After Hernandez, Kim Kang-ryul, Choi Chae-heung, Jung Woo-young, Park Myung-geun, Sung Dong-hyun, Yoo Yong-joo, Kim Young-woo, and Woo Kang-hoon will take the mound while waiting in the bullpen. Kim Young-woo was scheduled to take the mound in a save situation the previous day, but he did not take the mound due to a 5-0 gap, and he is expected to take the mound regardless of the game situation.

Expectations are high as transfer players such as Kim Kang-ryul and Choi Chae-heung, who did not take the mound against KIA (27th) and Samsung (1st), are scheduled to take the mound. LG showed salty pitching by allowing two hits and one run against KIA and two hits against Samsung.

KT's left-handed starter Oh Won-seok, who came from SSG as a trade, will start. Foreign pitchers Emanuel De Heysus and William Cuevas are both listed as standby pitchers, while exclusive owner Park Se-jin, Lee Sang-dong, Juju and Moon Yong-ik are also preparing to take the mound.

KT formed the starting lineup of Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Rohas (right fielder), Huh Kyung-min (third baseman), Jang Sung-woo (catcher), Moon Sang-cheol (first baseman), Hwang Jae-gyun (second baseman), Jang Jin-hyuk (left fielder), Bae Jung-dae (middle fielder), and Kim Sang-soo (striker). The main point is that Hwang Jae-kyun will play as second baseman and Jang Jin-hyuk, who came from Hanwha as a compensation player, will start in left field.
