Doosan’s key infielder Yang Seok-hwan (32) was left out of the NC and starting lineup due to an instep bruise. Instead, Shin Seong-hyeon (33), whom the command tower is paying attention to, was named the starting first baseman. Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop showed strong trust, saying, “It is an essential utility resource for the team.”
Coach Lee Seung-yeop met with reporters ahead of the season’s first confrontation with NC in the 2023 KBO regular league, which will be held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 4th, and explained the extent of Yang Seok-hwan’s injury and the starting lineup.
Starting first baseman Yang Seok-hwan was left out of the starting lineup. In the game against Lotte on the 2nd, he expressed his discomfort after being hit by a ball in his foot. Director Lee said, “(Yang) Seok-hwan got hit in the foot by his batting ball on the 2nd, but there is a little uncomfortable part. He said, “It is not a serious injury. Think of it as a bruise. He said he was a little uncomfortable when he rested yesterday, so he let me rest.”
As Yang Seok-hwan was left out to protect the players, Shin Seong-hyun got a chance. Director Lee, who was on the verge of being released last year, reached out and received another opportunity, so he must show his presence. It is said that he has no choice but to be more earnest than anyone else.
Manager Lee said, “I thought about adding (Kim) Min-hyuk, but (Shin) Seong-hyeon, who played the game first, has a good sense of the game, so I decided to start first.” 1st baseman can also be seen. Even though the center fielder didn’t practice, he went out for the first time and caught the floating ball without difficulty. In fact, there are not many utility players on our team, but Seong-hyun is a utility resource who can play an essential role in the team.”
Along with this, as the starting second baseman Kang Seung-ho was left out of the selection, there was a change in the Doosan Keystone combination.먹튀검증 Lee Yu-chan, who played shortstop in the opening two games last week, moved to second base, and Ahn Jae-seok started as shortstop.
Coach Lee emphasized, “Our team’s undoubted second baseman is (Kang) Seung-ho,” and added, “However, Seung-ho’s hitting feeling has not yet reached the normal track, so he was excluded from the selection. It is also important to watch the game in the dugout rather than the concept of rest,” he said. He added, “Ahn Jae-seok continued to play in the game last year, so he and Lee Yu-chan will match the keystone combination well.”
