(Incheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Nam-jik Han = Jae-il Oh, 35, left-handed Geopo of Samsung Lions, a professional baseball player, stands in the’second batting order’.
It is an experiment that considers various situations such as the stadium, the selection of opponents, and the front and rear batters.
Samsung manager Heo Sam-young said, “Oh Jae-il will start as the second batter and first baseman today,” ahead of the demonstration game against SSG Landers, a professional baseball player, to be held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 25th.
No. 1 Kim Sang-soo and No. 3 Koo Ja-wook surround Jae-il Oh
The SSG selection on this day was Park Jong-hoon with underhands.
Kim Sang-soo was strong with a batting average of 0.320 against a submarine pitcher last year. Jawook Koo hit 5 hits (0.714 batting average) in 7 at-bats in a face-to-face match with Park Jong-hoon.
Director Huh said, “I’m trying to see what effect will happen when I use Kim Sang-soo as the top hitter, who is strong in submarine pitching, and Ja-wook Koo, who is good at Park Jong-hoon, in No. 3, and Jae-il Oh in No. 2,” he said. “I explained.
Incheon SSG Landers Field is a’batter-friendly stadium’ with a short distance of 120m from the home plate to the outfield fence in the center and 95m on the left and right.
Last year, Oh Jae-il hit 0.919 OPS (slugging percentage + on-base percentage) in Incheon. It was higher than the season OPS of 0.872.
When deploying long-range gun Oh Jae-il aggressively in No. 2, you can expect a multi-point effect.
Oh Jae-il played as a 3rd batter or 5th batter in the previous two demonstration games. This is the batting order where Oh Jae-il feels the most comfortable.
However, coach Huh decided to experiment with changes in batting order depending on the situation, such as the stadium and the opponent’s pitching, in the demonstration game.
This strategy can be used in the regular season if Oh Jae-il is the starter in Incheon and the submarine pitcher is the starter.
