LG Twins Austin Dean is on standby with right heel pain.
Prior to the second game of the season against Samsung held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 8th, LG coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop said, “Yesterday, I felt heel pain in the process of sliding to second base to prevent double hits. I will wait and play as a pinch hitter when the situation arises.” Explained. He went on to explain, “It’s about the pain when the heel hits the ground hard. They say it’s happened in the US. I think we’ll have to wait and see if we can compete tomorrow.”
Austin, who started as a 4th first baseman against Samsung on the 7th, went to base with a hit by the lead batter in the bottom of the 5th inning, and then got injured while going to second base when Park Dong-won double-played in front of the pitcher from 1 out 1 base.
Austin was replaced with Song Chan-eui before the defense in the top of the 7th inning. It is fortunate that LG, who is suffering from line injuries to field players such as Oh Ji-hwan, Son Ho-young and Kim Joo-seong, is not injured enough to miss out on the entry level. Austin, the new outsider, is invigorating the batting line with his fighting spirit.
On the 8th, LG started Song Chan-eui as the 7th first baseman instead of Austin against Samsung. The fourth hitter is in charge of the third baseman Munbo game. Veteran Kim Min-seong, who plays shortstop instead of Oh Ji-hwan, starts as the fifth hitter. Kim Ki-yeon wears a mask as catcher number 8 instead of Park Dong-won.
Amidst the absence of Oh Ji-hwan, LG called up Choi Hyun-joon, an infielder in the Futures League, prior to the game. 메이저놀이터
