When asked about the entry change made by Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung (59) the previous day (13th), he only explained Yoon Sung-bin (27) without mentioning Choi Choong-yeon (29). Regarding Yoon Sung-bin, he said that the situation to throw in the first team was not easy.

Ahead of the away game against the LG Twins at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 14th, head coach Kim Tae-hyung said, "I think Yoon Sung-bin should play a little more than a special change. At the moment, I don't think I'll be able to go out (of the first team). So I think I have to throw more (in the second division)."

Coach Kim then made a cold diagnosis of Yoon Sung-bin's ball. Coach Kim, who firmly answered, "It was not good" when he pointed out that the ball itself was not good at the beginning of the season, including the exhibition game, pointed out specific problems, saying, "For now, the fork ball was not (controlling) at all." In the end, it is interpreted that it is better to increase the number of pitches in the second team and adjust the ball quality rather than waiting for the chasing group in the first team.

Yoon Sung-bin's vacancy is expected to be filled by Park Joon-woo and Hyun Do-hoon. Coach Kim said, "Park Joon-woo was also good (in the second division). Hyun Do-hoon also expressed expectations, saying, "He is a pitcher who can throw long."

Lotte made an entry change on the 13th when there was no game. It was noticeable to exclude "fireballer" and right-hander bullpen resource Yoon Sung-bin from the first-team entry for the first time this season. Manager Kim Tae-hyung initially had high expectations by selecting Yoon Sung-bin as a first-team bullpen agent, but he went down to the second division with a 19.29 ERA in the previous three games without winning or losing.

On top of that, Choi Choong-yeon, who had a bad performance with rumors and poor performance in the recent communication process with fans, was also notified of his participation in the second division, leaving a record of two runs in one inning and an 18.00 ERA. However, coach Kim did not make a separate comment on Choi Choong-yeon on the day.

Ahead of their first showdown of the season with the LG Twins, Lotte formed a starting lineup consisting of Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Reyes (left wing), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Han Dong-hee (third baseman), Kim Min-sung (first baseman), Han Tae-yang (second baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Jeon Min-jae (striker) and Son Sung-bin (catcher). The starting pitcher is Na Kyun-an.

Coach Kim said about Son Sung-bin wearing a starting catcher mask for the fifth consecutive game, "First of all, Yoo Kang-nam's batting sense is so bad. Now, Son Sung-bin, who has a better result, is first used to utilize his sense of practice. Moreover, there are many fielders who play for LG, so I decided to do so," he said.
