Starting pitchers Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Park Hae-min (middle wing), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Austin Dean (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Park Dong-won (catcher), Moon Sung-joo (right wing) and Shin Min-jae (second baseman) will play. Choi Won-tae is the starting pitcher.
"I will keep using (Lee Woo-chan) even if he doesn't throw well for a while," manager Yeom Kyung-yeop told reporters before the game. "The same applies to Lee Woo-chan, Baek Seung-hyeon, Park Myung-geun and Kim Dae-hyeon," adding, "It is one of the things I studied. After all, a player is created only when he uses it. If you can't use it because you're nervous, no new person will appear."
"The priority is in my head. First of all, I will use players with high chances of success," he said. "Players with some experience, like Kim Dae-hyun. Kim Dae-hyun is faster than Jin Woo-young is being created. That is the priority. I will give opportunities to those who have experienced even a little bit."
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop added, "Fans may curse why they use it, but in the end, they must be cursed to become a player."
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said earlier that the team does not have enough resources to serve as a substitute. However, Koo Bon-hyeok emerged as the team's No. 1 substitute as he had two walk-off hits and a finishing hit on Sunday.
"We have tested it (so far). I was able to use it again yesterday because I had good experience of getting two finishing hits at bat. In my opinion, Koo Bon-hyuk was more likely than Shin, and he played the role." Kim Bum-suk will also be on standby as a substitute for left-handed opponents.
Ahn will play in the second division to prepare for any possible contingency. "Ahn comes up when his main outfielder is injured and plays as a starting member immediately. That's why I haven't raised him since I think it would be better to play in the second division," Yeom Kyung-yeop said.
Oh Ji-hwan is shaking at the beginning of the season with a batting average of 0.238. As the poor batting also affected the defense, the defense also increased in error. Oh Ji-hwan, who was struggling, eventually gave up his captaincy, and Kim Hyun-soo became LG's new captain.
"I totally wanted to help Oh. At first, I said, '(Oh) Ji-hwan, I need to overcome this,' but he was having a hard time," Yeom Kyung-yeop said of Oh's current situation.
"Oh Ji-hwan has a strong sense of responsibility. He wants to do well (as captain), play well in baseball, and do various things well. Last year was also difficult and difficult. I was under strong stress this year," he said.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop is said to have comforted Oh Ji-hwan and expressed his gratitude, saying, "Please yield comfortably" because he has performed his captaincy perfectly.
