The second game of the season between Lotte Giants and SSG Landers, which was canceled due to rain for two days in a row, was delayed by a day, but the starting pitcher remains the same.
The season 2 game between Lotte and SSG, 메이저놀이터which was scheduled to be held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 5th at 7pm, was canceled due to rain. The match will be scheduled at a later date.
The selections for both teams announced on this day will appear on the 6th. Both teams have the same starting rotation. SSG will be prepared by right-hander Moon Seung-won, and Lotte will be prepared by left-handed foreigner Charlie Barnes.
Moon Seung-won took the mound twice during the demonstration game and recorded 1 win, undefeated, and 1.00 ERA. Moon Seung-won returned last summer after recovering from elbow surgery. After his return, he was in the bullpen and prepared to start again this year.
Against Lotte last year, he threw 2⅔innings and allowed 6 runs, and his ERA was very high at 20.25. However, Moon Seung-won is a selection agent that the coaching staff and the club trust. He prepared for the season in good health from the camp period, and his pitching condition was good.
In the case of Lotte starter Barnes, he recorded 12 wins and 12 losses and an average ERA of 3.62 in 31 games last year, but it was not good with 1 loss and 7.36 ERA in three demonstration games this year.
Barnes went 1-1 with a 2.20 ERA in two games against SSG last season. The pace of pitching in this year’s demonstration games was not good, but we will have to wait and see if we can alleviate our worries by meeting SSG.
