Kiwoom Heroes has announced its starting lineup for an upcoming game against Doosan Bears.

On the 3rd at 6:30 p.m., Kiwoom will host a 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game against Doosan at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome.

Kiwoom suffered a heartbreaking 5-7 loss in its previous match against LG Twins on the 2nd. With two consecutive defeats, Kiwoom now sits at the bottom of the league with 28 wins, 1 draw, and 53 losses.

For today's game, Kiwoom has set its starting lineup as follows: Seo Geon-chang (second baseman), Ahn Chi-hong (first baseman), Choo Jae-hyun (center fielder), Hiura (left fielder), Park Chan-hyuk (right fielder), Im Byung-wook (designated hitter), Yeo Dong-wook (third baseman), Kim Dong-heon (catcher), and Kwon Hyuk-bin (shortstop). The starting pitcher is Ha Young-min.

Kiwoom has signed foreign batter Matt Davidson, who recently played for NC Dinos, establishing a two-batter foreign player system.

Ahead of today's game, Kiwoom manager Seol Jong-jin stated regarding Davidson's participation plan, "You can expect him to be registered tomorrow (4th). If there are no injuries or other issues, he will be included in the starting lineup."

Regarding Davidson's position, he added, "We are considering him for first base or as a designated hitter."

Manager Seol remarked, "As expected with foreign batters, what we hope for is their ability to hit a home run at crucial moments from the heart of the lineup. We are focusing on that aspect."

Having two foreign batters is currently unique among the 10th clubs in the league. Interest also surrounds whether Kiwoom's other foreign batter, Hiura, will coexist with Davidson. Regarding placing both Hiura and Davidson consecutively in the lineup, Manager Seol said, "We will observe Hiura's batting performance once more today before considering Davidson's spot in the lineup."
