"But there are no seats available."
The Kia Tigers posted a batting average of 0.301 this season. Considering the weight of its main lineup, the team is the strongest in the league. This is the critical reason why Kia is evaluated as fundamentally superior to the Samsung Lions and the LG Twins, who are currently holding the playoffs.
Park Chan-ho (striker), Socrates Brito (left fielder), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Na Sung-bum (right fielder), Kim Sun-bin (second baseman), Lee Woo-sung (first baseman), Kim Tae-gun (poster) and Choi Won-jun (first baseman). It was the starting lineup of the practice game against the Lotte Giants on the 14th.
It is highly likely that Kia will make the starting lineup for the first round of the Korean Series, which is scheduled to take place on April 21. This is the best lineup that Kia can afford to set up at this point. It would not be strange at all if the team plays all games of the Korean Series as it is. However, Kia has many other strengths that it can afford to steadily gain chances to strike.
In other words, it is full of pinch hitters. Right-handed hitters Byun Woo-hyuk and Lee Chang-jin, and left-handed hitters Han Jun-su, Ko Jong-wook and Seo Geon-chang are representative. Except for Ko Jong-wook, whose role is actually limited to pinch hitters, the four players are definitely on board in the Korean Series entry itself.
Byun Woo-hyuk and Han Jun-su have one shot. They have yet to burst their full potential as big guns. However, one shot and hitting is their biggest attraction. In the case of Han Jun-su, there is another backup catcher called Han Seung-taek, so it is expected to be utilized as a substitute.
Ko Jong-wook is an expert who specializes in pinch-hitting. He played in only 28 games this year, but had a batting average of 0.333. Seo Geon-chang and Lee Chang-jin are cards that can be used when they need to get on base. Notably, Lee Chang-jin has a whopping 0.401 on-base percentage this year, which is the best class in the league, as he failed to meet the requirement.
Byun Woo-hyuk plays at first and third bases, Seo Geon-chang plays at first and second bases, and Lee Chang-jin plays at all outfield positions. He is also widely used in defense. Taking this into account, he can also use as a substitute. However, Lee Bum-ho expressed disapproval while conducting a training session at Hampyeong Challengers Field on Saturday.
"But there are no seats left." That is very realistic. As the main lineup is that solid, there is no proper batting order or timing to replace the main lineup. Manager Lee Bum-ho must be feeling strong, even though he is reluctant to do so.
Still, Manager Lee Bum-ho seems to have devised a plan to utilize a substitute for just in case. "Woo Hyuk is good at hitting left-handed pitchers. When a right-handed pitcher comes out, he is strong and has Junsu. If he uses Junsu as a starting catcher, he can go longer. If Kim gets a chance, he can use Junsu for two to three innings and leave Han Seung-taek at the back. Changjin has a good on-base percentage. We also need to check the conditions of the players who will join the roster and who they are strong against." 토토사이트
For your information, Kia had a whopping 0.340. It is close to 10 percent ahead of second-ranked LG (0.259). Even if the pinch-hit rate is 0.259 million, it turns out that the team is excellent. What's more, 340%. KIA's bat is so hot.
