LG will play a home game against the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League KT Wiz at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul from 5 p.m. on the 6th.

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop made changes to the lineup. Starting pitchers Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Austin Dean (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (pitch), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Moon Seong-ju (left wing) and Shin Min-jae (second baseman) will play. For the first time, Hong Chang-ki and Park Hae-min exchanged positions.

The entry has also been changed. Infielder Kim Joo-sung goes down and pitcher Kim Dae-hyun comes up. Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "We reinforced it because the pitcher consumed a lot."

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who met with reporters before the game, explained the current situation, saying, "As three starters are out early in a row, the team will suffer damage. In addition, it was overloaded as the team continued to play overtime."

For now, Yoo Young-chan, Park Myung-geun and Lee Woo-chan will all be able to take the mound today. Woo Kang-hoon will also gain experience by joining the chasing pack for the time being.

On Sunday, Lim gave up five walks and four runs while pitching 3.2 innings. "It is important to do the same as usual, not in the ABS zone," manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said. "In the case of Lim Chan-kyu, we had a fight with the outside because we analyzed that Jamsil was good at playing outside."

"It's not important to focus on those things, it's more important to play my own baseball. The baseball that I played, the baseball that Lim Chan-kyu accumulated. That's the routine that controls my mind. The most important thing is to take care of my bare skin," he said.

Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "If a batter has a routine, a batter who is good at hitting enters 400 times at bat and does what he or she has to do. Do Park Min-woo, Park Gun-woo and Lee Jung-hoo change (for each time at bat)? Whether I hit well or not, I have never shook my head when I went out. Regardless of where the runner is or what the situation is, I have to do exactly what I have to do to get the result."

Meanwhile, players feel the ABS zone is different in different ballparks, said Yeom Kyung-yeop, manager of the Korean pro baseball league. "The KBO is probably aware of this for sure. It is definitely the first time that the ABS zone is in effect," he said. "We need to adapt to that as well. If you give it to the outside, it will be closer and hit. If left-handed hitters get a bit off, the zone remains the same."
