"The key is to solve it in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5."

The LG Twins made a different lineup. Austin Dean will be the second batter for the first time.

In an away game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 18th, LG formed the starting lineup of Hong Chang-ki (right wing), Austin (designated hitter), Kim Bum-seok (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (captor), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Lee Young-bin (left wing), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), and Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman).

The main point of the lineup on the day was that Austin took the second place as Kim Hyun-soo was out. It is the first time that Austin will play as the second batter since his KBO League debut last year.

LG is having a hard time finding a partner for Hong Chang-ki in 'Exit King'. Moon Sung-joo has been in good form, but Shin Min-jae filled the spot after Moon Sung-joo was injured. However, as Shin Min-jae was injured again, there was no right batter to enter the second batter's position.

Recently, Kim Hyun-soo showed good performance as the second batter, but he remained hitless and walked in four at-bats against Lotte the previous day, and Austin came up to No. 2 in a surprise move as Lotte's left-handed starter Kim Jin-wook came out on the day and was excluded from the starting line-up due to physical fitness management. Austin is forward-deployed, and Kim Bum-seok makes a surprise appearance in empty seat 3.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, `Kim Hyun-soo has continued to play, and his recent sense is not very good. He was excluded from the starting lineup because his opponent's record with the starting pitcher was not good (two hits in 13 at-bats with Kim Jin-wook). I'm going to go out as a pinch hitter."

Coach Yeom said, `I tried to change the batting order after rolling my head a lot,' and added that the solution should be solved in #1 to #5. If you live in the lower batting line and solve it in the upper batting line, the game will be solved easily" he said.
