LG Lee Jae-won got the opportunity to start the season for the first time. On the 12th, against Daegu Samsung, Lee Jae-won will play as the left fielder number 9.
Lee Jae-won,메이저사이트 who hit 13 home runs last year and announced the appearance of Big Boy in Jamsil, injured his left side in spring camp and joined the first team belatedly. Although he is only hitless in 6 at-bats after playing 4 games before the game, he is expected to show his strength properly at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, a hitter-friendly stadium.
Manager Yeom Gyeong-yeop, who met with reporters before the game, said, “I plan to give Lee Jae-won a chance to start in this three-game series. The outfield defense is above average. He is the fearful number 9 hitter. If you get caught, go,” he said with a laugh.
He continued, “This is the beginning. opportunity has begun. He has prepared a lot in the meantime, so it is important to produce good results. He intends to give many opportunities to achieve results. He added, “I will play four games a week as a starter.”
Director Yeom Kyung-yeop also said, “We have to produce much better results than last year. He said, “If we achieve similar results to last year, it will be a waste of preparation.”
“From my point of view, it is not a pinch hitter style. A pinch hitter should have experience and room to spare, but I gave it once (as a pinch hitter) and I could see that he was nervous. Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop explained that if he plays at bat while starting, he will get good results.”
He plays first base defense as well as the outfield. However, it was set in the direction of being replaced when the score difference was greater than the starting business trip. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, “I won’t go out much as a first baseman. When Austin is resting, he will be replaced in a situation where the score difference is large.”
Meanwhile, LG’s starting lineup consists of right fielder Hong Chang-ki, center fielder Park Hae-min, designated hitter Kim Hyeon-soo, first baseman Austin Dean, shortstop Oh Ji-hwan, third baseman Moon Bo-gyeong, catcher Park Dong-won, second baseman Kim Min-seong, and left fielder Lee Jae-won.
