The starting lineup for the match against Australia has been confirmed to continue hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals. The South Korean baseball team, which is on the brink of a cliff, is seeking a turnaround by operating the best member despite the "injury bad news."

The Korean baseball team, led by head coach Ryu Ji-hyun (55), will play the fourth match of Group C of the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) at Tokyo Dome, Japan, at 7 p.m. on the 9th. South Korea, which is on the verge of elimination with one win and two losses due to losing the match against Taiwan on the 8th, is in a situation where it has to win Australia by more than five points in this match with conditions of two runs or less. The rest of the cases are South Korea's failure to advance to the quarterfinals.

Korea is Kim Do-young (third baseman, KIA Tigers)-The lineup was formed in the order of Germay Jones (left fielder, Detroit Tigers) and Lee Jung-hoo (center fielder, San Francisco Giants), Ahn Hyun-min (right wing, KT Wiz), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter, LG Twins), Noh Si-hwan (first baseman, Hanwha Eagles), Kim Joo-won (striker, NC Dinos), Park Dong-won (catcher, LG Twins) and Shin Min-jae (second baseman, LG Twins). Noh Si-hwan and Shin Min-jae were newly introduced, and Shay Witcombe and Kim Hye-sung were missing.

The mound is also a "full-fledged war." Manager Ryu Ji-hyun ordered virtually all pitchers to stand by except for four pitchers (Ko Young-pyo, Kwak Bin, Ryu Hyun-jin, and Ko Woo-seok) who are not able to appear. Due to the nature of the game, which requires minimizing runs, it is expected that "bee baseball" will be held to operate the bullpen immediately if the starting pitcher shakes.

Baseball fans around the world are looking at Tokyo Dome to see if the Korean national team, which has played multiple roles, will be able to wash away the memories of the "Tokyo disaster" and create a miracle to Miami.
