The professional baseball LG Twins will play a doubleheader against the KT Wiz on the 17th at Jamsil Stadium. The previous day's game was canceled due to rain, leading to the doubleheader being scheduled. On this day, all five stadiums will have doubleheaders, with 10 professional baseball games taking place in one day.

LG has recently been on a six-game winning streak. They have pulled ahead of the second-place Hanwha Eagles by two games and are in sole possession of first place.

LG has announced its starting lineup for the first game of the doubleheader: Park Hae-min (center fielder), Song Chan-eui (right fielder), Austin (first baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman), and Choi Won-young (left fielder).

They have fielded five right-handed hitters against SSG left-handed starter Oh Won-seok. Instead of left-handed hitter Ham Chang-geun, right-handed hitter Choi Won-young is starting.

Ham Chang-geun, who recorded his first RBIs and first multi-hit game in his professional debut against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 15th, has been moved up to the second spot in the lineup. Moon Seong-joo, who has a slightly heavy back, will wait as a pinch hitter until the first game of the doubleheader.

LG’s starting pitcher is Son Ju-young. He has pitched in eight games this season, boasting a record of four wins and two losses with an ERA of 4.20. On the 10th, he secured a quality start against Samsung, allowing three runs in six innings. Son Ju-young has not performed well against KT. In five career games against them, he has not recorded a win, suffering four losses with an ERA of 8.72.

KT’s starting pitcher is left-hander Oh Won-seok. Oh Won-seok has struggled against LG. His career record against them stands at three wins and eight losses with an ERA of 8.39 over 17 games, which is quite poor. Notably, he has suffered seven consecutive losses against LG since 2022. This year, he also performed poorly on April 2, allowing five runs in 4⅓ innings.
