In the first home game, Choo Shin-soo (39, SSG) continued to be in good shape with three consecutive hits and two consecutive RBIs.
Choo Shin-soo started with two left fielders in a demonstration match against Samsung held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 25th and scored three at-bats, one hit and two RBIs. However, SSG delayed the first win of the demonstration game to the next after losing 3-6 due to the scramble of starting pitcher Park Jong-hoon.
Choo Shin-soo has RBI from the first at-bat. When Choi Ji-hoon, a leading batter at the end of the first inning, behind 0-2, hit a third base and placed in the scoring range, Choo Shin-soo pulled the direct ball of Samsung starter Won Tae-in and made a ground ball on the second base, bringing Choi Ji-hoon to the home. It is the moment to record the third RBI in the demonstration game.
In the third inning, he appeared in a situation where there were no runners out and made a heavy hit after a full count battle with Won Tae-in. In the 5th inning, he hit the ground ball on the first base side in the 1st and 1st base, and hit the ground with a quick foot and scored the second RBI. Choo Shin-soo finished the game on this day after being replaced by the great runner O Tae-gon. Choo Shin-soo’s performance in the demonstration game was batting average of 0.300 (3 hits in 10 at bats), 4 RBIs, and 2 walks. The more you play, the more you get on the track. After the game, Shin-soo Choo said, “I think the blow is getting better in preparing for the season overall rather than today’s performance. The more I play, the more I feel that I am getting closer to the process of preparing for the season in the United States.”

Choo Shin-soo, who played only as a designated hitter in the previous demonstration game, went on defense for the first time on this day. Choo Shin-soo showed off his strength by throwing a bullet-like throw to the home when Jose Pirella hit left in the second and third base of Samsung’s first attack. The ball reached catcher Lee Heung-ryun correctly, and Koo Ja-wook had to stop at third.
It was also the first home game that was meaningful to the SSG club, which acquired SK and re-founded it. Starting with this, the name of the Incheon home stadium was changed from SK Happy Dream Stadium to Incheon SSG Landers Field to promote its presence, and SSG marks were also left on the exterior of the stadium.
First of all,’Incheon SSG Landers Field’ was engraved on the bottom of the super-sized billboard, and above the outfield stand on the left,’The beginning of a professional baseball that never existed in the world! SSG Landers’. In addition, the stadium was filled with advertisements such as’SSG.COM’,’No-Brand Burger’, and’E-Mart Traders’.
SSG is planning to complete the renovation of the stadium interior, such as the locker room used by the athletes and the hallway for the audience, until April 2, when the regular season begins. In addition, as a sign of inheriting the spirit of baseball in Incheon, we plan to decorate souvenirs that will remind us of the glory of the SK era and commemorative photos of Sammi, Cheongbo, and the Pacific Ocean, as before. Shin-soo Choo said, “I feel comfortable because I think it is a home where I have to play half of the season (72 games). SSG Landers Field is the best among the stadiums I have been to if I look at the baseball field, such as lawn conditions, excluding other amenities.”
Meanwhile, LG and Doosan announced that they made a two-on-two trade between LG infielder Yang Seok-hwan (29) and left-handed pitcher Nam-ho (20), and Doosan left-handed pitcher Ham Deok-ju (26) and pitcher Chae Ji-seon (25) after the demonstration match. LG General Manager Cha Myung-seok said, “I am satisfied with the recruitment of two full-fledged pitchers as soon as the team needs it,” and Doosan was able to fill in the infield gap that had been troubled.
