KT, on the edge of a cliff, appoints Jang Jin-hyuk as starter instead of Ahn Hyun-min... strengthening defense

Coach Lee Kang-cheol of KT Wiz, a professional baseball team on the brink, replaces Ahn Hyun-min and inserts Jang Jin-hyuk as the starting right fielder.

Ahead of Game 5 of the Korean Series against the Samsung Lions to be held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 8th, Manager Lee created a batting order consisting of Wonjun Choi (designated hitter), Jinhyuk Jang (right fielder), Hyunsoo Kim (first baseman), Sam Hilliard (center fielder), Minhyuk Kim (left fielder), Hyunin Ryu (second baseman), Gyeongmin Heo (third baseman), Seungtaek Han (catcher), and Dongjin Kwon (shortstop). revealed.

KT, which achieved 90 wins, the most in club history, and went straight to the Korean Series as first place in the regular league, suffered three consecutive losses after winning one game in the Korean Series, and was trapped in a dead end where they had to lose just once to give up the championship to Samsung.

Manager Lee said, "Ahn Hyun-min's batting and defense are not good, so we will use Jang Jin-hyuk, who has good pace," and "I plan to use Ahn Hyun-min as a pinch hitter if the opportunity arises."

KT classifies two left-handed pitchers, Logan Allen and Jeon Yong-ju, as non-appearance players and mobilizes all remaining pitchers to face Samsung. The only left-handed pitcher who can stop Samsung's left-handed batting line is Oh Won-seok.

Manager Lee said, “I hope that starting pitcher Davis Daniel can cover 6 innings and win by using starters such as Ko Young-pyo and So Hyeong-jun as short as possible,” and added, “That way, we can play at full strength in the 6th and 7th games as well.”
