On the 24th, Lotte will have an away match between the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League LG Twins and the 12th game of the season ‘Ellot Lasico’ at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul.
Lotte seemed to be firing a signal of a rebound in August by winning a’sweep win’ in the three-game match against SSG Landers last week. However, the heated atmosphere cooled down as they gave up all three consecutive matches with Kiwoom Heroes on the weekend. While Lotte was unable to play due to rain on the 22nd and 23rd, it was time to set the mood by holding a group meeting under the leadership of coach Larry Sutton.
Prior to the game on the 24th, Sutton said, “I think taking a break for three days, including Monday, is a great help to the team. If you don’t play on the 4th or 5th, there may be problems with timing, but from two days to a maximum of three days. Until then, it is a very positive factor for players to recover, especially for the pitching part.”
Lotte, trying to escape from three consecutive losses, is Ahn Kwon-soo (left fielder) – Kim Min-seok (center fielder) – Lee Jung-hoon (designated hitter) – Ahn Chi-hong (2nd baseman) – Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder) – Ko Seung-min (1st baseman) – Jeong Bo-geun (catcher) – Noh Jin-hyeok (Shortstop) – Nico Goodrum (third baseman) formed a lineup, and as the starting pitcher, ‘left-handed lion’ Charlie Barnes was put forward.
The most notable thing in the lineup that day was Goodrum’s 9th sortie. The command tower said, “We don’t have hitters who can hit the typical 3rd to 5th ball. That’s why we need to flexibly set up the lineup according to the opponent’s starting pitcher.” After organizing the group, I ended up putting Goodrum in the ninth.”
Recently, Lee Jung-hoon, who has a good sense of hitting, was placed at No. 3, and Jeong Bo-geun was placed at No. 7. Coach Sutton said, “Both players are doing well beyond expectations. It’s not just one or two games, but the period of doing well is increasing. When the water comes in, you have to row, and this applies to both baseball and life.” He praised him, saying, “I have a good starting lineup that doesn’t miss the ball coming in, and I’m showing good performance because I’m executing what I planned.”
Lee Jung-hoon is still bringing changes to the batting order, but the number of days he is placed in the center of the batting line is increasing. And the command tower expected him to become a player worthy of him. He said, “Lee Jung-hoon is a mid-range hitter. He can hit more than doubles. And he has a good ability to control the strike zone.” He raised his thumb, saying, “This is a player suitable for numbers 3-5.”
