The professional baseball team SSG Landers will face the LG Twins in the 8th match of the season on the 24th at Incheon SSG Landers Field.
SSG secured a narrow victory, winning 2-3 the previous day.
SSG will have left-handed pitcher Kim Gun-woo making his start as a substitute that day. It is his first starting opportunity in three years since 2022.
SSG's Moon Seung-won is sidelined due to a hamstring injury. After pitching against Hanwha on the 18th, Moon Seung-won felt discomfort in his left hamstring and was diagnosed with damage in the hamstring area following a detailed examination.
Moon Seung-won will undergo a reexamination in two weeks, at which point a return date can be anticipated. He has started in nine games this season, recording three wins, two losses, and an earned run average of 3.40.
Substitute starter Kim Gun-woo has appeared in 22 games this season as a relief pitcher, recording one win, two losses, and an earned run average of 5.06. He has pitched in five games (five innings) against LG, with an earned run average of 5.40.
SSG's starting lineup for the day includes Choi Ji-hoon (center fielder), Park Sung-han (shortstop), Choi Jung (designated hitter), Han Yoo-seom (right fielder), Ko Myung-jun (first baseman), Choi Jun-woo (left fielder), Ahn Sang-hyun (third baseman), Jung Jun-jae (second baseman), and Jo Hyung-woo (catcher).
Choi Jung, who played as the third baseman the previous day, will play as a designated hitter, while Ahn Sang-hyun will play as the third baseman. Lee Ji-young, the starting catcher who returned to the first-team roster the previous day, is preparing to come in as a pinch hitter in the later innings.
