The NC Dinos are fielding their best lineup.
The NC Dinos will face the LG Twins in the second match of the season on the 29th at Changwon NC Park. The main stars are all participating.
The starting lineup for NC includes Park Min-woo (designated hitter), Kim Joo-won (shortstop), Son Ah-seop (right fielder), Davidson (first baseman), Park Gun-woo (center fielder), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Do Tae-hoon (second baseman), Kim Hyung-jun (catcher), and Kim Hwi-jip (third baseman).
Park Min-woo, who was absent from the lineup the previous day, will start as the leadoff hitter. Additionally, Kwon Hee-dong, who was substituted in the second inning due to a minor injury from a hit by pitch during the previous game, will also participate normally.
Kwon Hee-dong was hit on the left hand by a 146 km/h fastball from LG’s starting pitcher, Chiri-nose, in the bottom of the first inning. The game was briefly halted to check the injury. In the following bottom of the second inning, with one out and runners on first and second base, Kwon Hee-dong was scheduled to bat but was replaced by pinch hitter Han Jae-hwan.
The NC team stated, "Kwon Hee-dong was substituted due to hit by pitch on his left hand in the top of the first inning. He will move to a nearby hospital for an X-ray." Kwon Hee-dong's hospital examination revealed no bone issues, just a simple bruise.
The starting pitcher for NC is the foreign pitcher, Riley. Riley became the winning pitcher on the 23rd against KIA, recording 5⅓ innings, 4 hits allowed, 1 home run, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts, and 3 runs (2 earned runs).
