SSG coach Lee Soong-yong wins in his debut match as head coach

SSG Landers coach Lee Soong-yong (53), who continued to praise the players, frowned for a moment as he recalled the starting lineup.

“Kim Gwang-hyun and Roenis Elias are really good….”

Coach Lee, who met ahead of the home game against the professional baseball Kiwoom Heroes held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 10th, said, "Elias, who was left out of the lineup (due to an ankle injury), will start tomorrow (against Kiwoom on the 11th)," and "During his last mound, he will start. “Kim Gwang-hyun, who felt back pain, can throw normally today,” he said.

First of all, Coach Lee does not need to worry about starting pitchers on the 10th and 11th when Kim Gwang-hyun and Elias take the mound in succession.

However, concerns over the 3rd to 5th starters are deep.

SSG's starting pitcher average ERA is 6.73, ranking 9th out of 10 clubs.

The three starting pitchers - Robert Dugger (2 losses, ERA 12.86), Oh Won-seok (1 loss, ERA 6.00), and Park Jong-hoon (2 losses, ERA 10.50) - did not achieve a single win.

Coach Lee said, “Wonseok is a pitcher who needs to do better than he is now. He had a really good pitch during spring camp, but at the beginning of the season, it was strangely unsatisfactory.” He added, “Dugger is studying again by watching videos of past pitches. He is working really hard for the season. I hope that Park Jong-hoon, who prepared well, can also show what he prepared well in the actual game.”

Although there is a history of reserve starters, Coach Lee believes that Dugger, Oh Won-seok, and Park Jong-hoon must survive to survive the long season.

While preparing Plan B, Coach Lee said, "The 3rd to 5th starters who performed poorly at the beginning of the season are preparing for a rebound. For now, I will trust the players and wait." 사설토토
