Target the nemesis.
Will the NC Dinos, led by manager Lee Ho-jun, succeed in targeting their nemesis?
The manager revealed the starting lineup for the opening game against the Kia Tigers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 22nd.
The lineup consisted of Park Min-woo (second baseman), Kim Joo-won (shortstop), Son Ah-seop (right fielder), Davidson (designated hitter), Park Gun-woo (center fielder), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Do Tae-hoon (first baseman), Kim Hyung-jun (catcher), and Kim Hwi-jip (third baseman).
Lead-off hitter Park Min-woo and No. 2 hitter Kim Joo-won were placed in the table-setting lineup, continuing from the exhibition games to the opening game. The cleanup trio was made up of Son Ah-seop, Davidson, and Park Gun-woo.
This is the lineup aimed at targeting Kia's strong starter, James Neail. Neail recorded 2 wins and allowed only 1 run in 12 innings over 2 games last season, boasting an earned run average of just 0.75.
Kwon Hee-dong and Kim Joo-won each recorded 2 hits in 5 at-bats against Neail.
