“I’m most excited about today”.

Na, who was selected to the Hangzhou Asian Games team led by Ryu Jung-il, is 6-6 with a 3.58 ERA in 19 games this season. In his last start, against KT on March 27, he was unable to get any help from his batting lineup and suffered a loss, but he pitched seven innings of six-hit ball with nine strikeouts and two runs allowed.

On the current status of Koo Seung-min, who left the mound early due to right shoulder soreness during his last outing against Sajik Doosan on April 4, the team said, “I will rest until today and play catch tomorrow. The player himself says he’s fine, but we’ll put him in when his condition improves.”

Yoon Dong-hee, who has been the main right fielder this season, felt discomfort in his right thigh and was removed from the starting lineup to protect the player. “He will rest today and play normally from tomorrow,” said acting head coach Lee Jong-woon.

In Yoon’s place, Ko Seung-min got the chance to start. “I have high hopes that he will perform well. He can also bat in the center field,” said acting manager Lee Jong-woon.

Lotte’s batting order is Jeong-hoon Jung, designated hitter Lee Jung-hoon, Ahn Chi-hong, left fielder Jeon Jun-woo, catcher Yoo Kang-nam, shortstop Gudrum, center fielder Kim Min-seok, third baseman Park Seung-wook, and right fielder Go Seung-min.
